    Very interesting article, Jon. Chesler books are truly unique, having some of the most grotesque and risque covers of the era. Someone should start a Chesler thread . . .

    In keeping with the publisher and title threads that have been so active lately, here is a thread in which to post Adventure Comics, including its predecessor titles. I will start things off with the first issue (from the "S" pedigree): Cue to Wynn to post #2.

    Darn image codes.

    Although I cannot compete with the quality books that Jon and Steve are throwing up, here is a nice copy of Wonderworld 8. Steve, do you know which pedigree this is?

    Steve, all I can say is WOW!!
  6. RareHighGrade
    You're right, I have not seen that one before. Very nice.

    It looks like the very same girl with the same expression as the girl on the cover of SeanK's #8.

    Congratulations tb. That's a one-of-a-kind beauty!

    That's a beautiful book. Whoever did the restoration did a nice job.
  10. RareHighGrade
    That is a GREAT Golden Age cover!
  11. RareHighGrade
    Neat book. I've never seen it before either. Looks better than an 8.0.
  12. RareHighGrade
    Unfortunately, I am. Except for the FC 178, which I`m keeping. Tim, are you getting out of the hobby?? Outstanding group of duck books by the way.

    What is the "More Fun Collection"? Can you provide some background on that Centaurman?
  14. RareHighGrade
    Thanks for your thoughts steelhelmet. I have always wondered about the #19 because it has a "noire" feel to it that is different from Flessel's other covers. If anyone else has any info/opinion about this, I would love to hear it. Here is Detective #19, for those who are not familiar with it:
  15. RareHighGrade
    You are right Jon, those are great covers. I have never really noticed or appreciated them before now.

    The article states: "Following Sullivan's pencils and inks of Chin Lung for cover 1, Creig Flessel became regular cover artist for the subsequent eighteen issues." Does this mean that Flessel did the cover to Detective #19? The GCD is uncertain as to the artist for that cover, questioning whether it could be O'Mealia.

    Adam, when you are done using your time machine, can I borrow it?

    Someone should start a thread that focuses on early Fox covers. I don't think we've had one like that yet.

    Did Disney censor Bark's "Race to the South Seas" (March of Comics #41) in subsequent reprints? I thought they only censored "Darkest Africa" (March of Comics #20).

    Bat-Hound, your Detective group shot reminds me of the Metropolis booth at conventions: multiple copies of key and scarce books, making them all seem common.

    Jbud, I like #12 too, but haven't heard many people single it out. Tell us what it is about that cover that makes it one of your favorites.
  22. RareHighGrade
    Scott, I am fairly certain that Detective #18 is, in fact, O'Mealia.The character is from one of O'Mealia's strips, the detailed art is definitely O'Mealia's style, and O'Mealia did several of the subsequent pre-hero Tec covers. But then again, maybe we will find out from Jon that this was Flessel aping O'Mealia. RHG
  23. RareHighGrade
    Congratulations Scott! Any time that you can get an unrestored pre-hero Detective for less than guide, you are doing great. I hope that this is the sart of a new era in your collecting habits. Only 25 more pre-hero Tecs to go.
  24. RareHighGrade
    Wow, the colors on that book are so deep and rich, it looks like the book was printed yesterday.
  25. RareHighGrade
    So Tim, did you ever take Flessel up on his offer and commission a drawing? $150 for an 8 1/2 x 11 is not a bad price.
