A beggar's book freebie from Ed outworths a noble's blood CGC 9.8.

One more EC from Ed. Another one in the SSS series I'm not collecting.

UTC this time with a story about a movie star - who seems to be a hybrid of Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff - who is tired of being typecast in horror films when at heart he's a serious dramatic artist. He doesn't take his lifetime achievement award quite in the spirit in which it was intended...

Moving on from hot librarians to hot cowgirls (though do we ever really move on from hot libriarians?)... another Ed hand-me-down here, and my first western comic. I just love the colours on this one.

Here's the splash. You might well think 'how can she recover from that situation'?

Well...
 

OK, I've almost finished reloading the images of mine in the Australian GA thread. I'll bump it back when it's done and add a few of the books I've picked up since Photobucketedden.
But back in the saddle with recent acquisitions, here's another @edowens71 surplus EC western. Yee haw. A great Ingels cover to start with.

Here's the UTC page for this issue. Another splash. Another wagon barely under control. Another woman in red with bodice-straining anatomy. Still, it's hard to see how you could have too many of those.

We did get a mention in some foreign comics, Here's one.

I saw the title and thought I'd chime in with my top 3. Then I read through the thread, and now I'm with Charlie Brown.

Totally cool books. Awesome that you posted them. I'm 99.9% sure I would've never seen them otherwise. The Crime Casebook reminds me of the detective mags of the 40's and 50's much more so than an American comic book of the same period. (And that Jo-Jo is over-the-top cool and presents so very well.)

OK, by 'popular demand' - here are three books I got this year that I smile at every time I look at them. I've really got the Australian comic bug in the past 18 months, and these three are books I suspect not too many people own. If you'd told me in January that a romance comic with Audrey Hepburn on the cover would be one of my favourites of the year I'd have told you you're dreaming!

I think there are many of us looking for "a decent, affordable copy" of that book. Give me yours please.
Until then, I'll have to console myself with the first Australian edition.

Don't give in to that sort of thinking!!
It's a simple (if sobering) reality that fandom here assembled represents what appears to be a very wide range of budgets. I am as floored as the next boardie by the keys and bigger keys and higher-grade keys and so forth, but on some level, I really appreciate the stuff that the box-divers cull together on a more limited budget. Trust me: if I woke up tomorrow with the winning powerball ticket, darn straight you'd see me holding a mid to high-grade Marvel Comics 1, Cap 1 and Whiz 1 by this time next year, but it's the under-the-radar stuff that really makes me feel over and over again that this is one cool hobby.
Remember the old adage that it's the $2 window at the racetrack that keeps it going.
That having been pontificated upon to too fine a point, my three favorites on the year would probably all hail from this small group of books I bought from a friend, as this was a very modest year for me in comics. I'm going with the Buccaneers and Strange Suspense Stories in the top row and the Two-Fisted Tales in the second row.

ok here are mine :
