Best Looking Covers as a Series
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to Brewcrewfan77's topic in Comics General
Marvel Mystery Comics had some stinkers for sure, but it had such a good run and was so emblematic of the 1940s. A sample: -

Wtf with Wonder Woman Book Value
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to BA773's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
80% of the value of Phantom Lady #17 right there! -
Where can I find these well-drawn early DC stories? I have read early (1938-1942) issues of All-Star, Adventure, Batman, and Superman and the art is very, well, of its time.

Yea I definitely would push back if anyone said comic book quality declined as the golden age progressed. I interpreted, perhaps incorrectly, the concept of this thread to be about how as golden age series (such as Boy Comics, Daredevil, Marvel Mystery, Submariner Comics) progressed, the covers became less inspired, less evocative, and sometimes just crappy. I've noticed that many of these action series' covers venture into a comedy route; some phase out the title hero entirely from the cover, like Daredevil and Black Cat. But regarding interiors: you've already talked about the Atlas and EC revolution of the early 50s, where interior art and stories were growing much more sophisticated, the industry more diverse, etc. Even in hero books, the art was getting better as the golden age was progressing. I have copies of Marvel Mystery 48 and 83. You can't even compare the interior art quality between the two. I always wonder how this medium would have progressed without anti-comic hysteria and the CCA. The early 50s was truly the "golden age" of comics, in my mind.

I thought making one of these would be good for establishing cred, since I'll probably be doing more buying and selling in the future. Thanks in advance for your words, if I did a deal with you.

Did you buy this one directly off the newsstand?

PGM Marvel Mystery Comics #83
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to L'Angelo Misterioso's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
And this USA Comics you submitted got a green label, correct? -
PGM Marvel Mystery Comics #83
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to L'Angelo Misterioso's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
So, there's others one like it! Did not realize this was one of many file copies. I think this copy doesn't look as crisp as those Caps because the guy I got it from was always reading his books. It's only the front cover detached. -

Interesting.... -
I had never appreciated this cover until now. It's definitely one of the more high quality "jungle girl" covers.

It's highly unlikely that I submit this to CGC, but I thought this book would be an interesting study in what grade a book like this one would receive. Who hole-punches a comic?? Additionally, if I were to sell, is there still strong market value for a hole-punched Timely such as this? You can be honest--I got this book for free and wouldn't be hurt if I were to find out that this book is worthless to potential buyers. Thanks for the help.

The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror
L'Angelo Misterioso replied to precodekeith's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yep ChatGPT's output can be funky sometimes. I asked it a question about the comics discussed in Seduction of the Innocent, and the output read that Judge Dredd was discussed extensively in the book (???) -

Wow I love these All-New covers! I'm eager to get my hands on a copy, but these seem to go for Timely prices... -
