Nice blanket!!!

I just listed a very random stack of GA in the FS forum. Linkeroo

I plan to list at least 8 pretty cool GA books tonight. I may list more, but I'm still torn as to whether or not I should let them go.

Daredevil without hesitation. The Bat 1 has no appeal for a 6.5, and I'd be happier with a decent appearing lower grade copy. The DD is one of the classic books of the GA - despite not having an iconic hero. That book is SO cool on the interior...

Wow! Were those just printed?

Great books. I love the Marvel Family. Much nicer than my copy.

I've always liked the werewolf on this cover. I don't know why. Maybe he reminds me of the Owl stories by Arnold Lobel?

I bet that girl doesn't have any problems figuring out which direction she's headed.

Nice 131. I wish my copy was that nice. Or I wish you'd give me your copy. One of those two...

Doesn't get much better than that!

That.....was.....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Sharon!

Prize 7 has to be one of the hardest GA minor key's to find. There hasn't been one available to my knowledge in 5 years. The last copy on Ebay went for something like 5 X guide. #20, on the other hand, despite being a Gerber no-show, is probably the easiest to find now. Go figure. I'm very jealous Jon.

Everyone I've spoken to doesn't seem to think that's a particularly difficult issue. However, everyone has a different idea of which issues are tough, and which arent.

I am super impressed by that book too. Who is the cover artist? What is the interior art like? It is really, really great art. I checked the book. 1st story is great Powell art with some more nice "talent". The rest is stock GA, although one story is pretty cool for it's having a lot of apocalyptic predictions - A-bombs & the like.

Thems fightin' words buddy! Sorry Richard, but I agree with buttock. That felt like an odd sentence to type. But does buttock agree with you? For some reason that sounds nasty. The buttock agrees.

I have a hard time with a lot of Timelys because they all look the same. You'd have to give "classic" notation to about 2/3 of the Schomburg covers. Classic should imply a run that stands out above the others. When someone mentions the title, that cover should pop into your head. When someone mentions the issue you should know it instantly. With a lot of Timelys, I still say, "which one is that?" Not that they're not great covers, it's just saturation. Same goes for moderns. There are a LOT of great images out there....every month. They can't all be classic.

Bob Powell . He had a fine eye for "talent". He drew an issue of American Air Forces (I don't know which one, it's one of the A-1 issues) where the heroine has half her chest hanging out in every panel. I forget what the interior is like in this one . I'll have to check it out & get back to you. IIRC it's Powell interior as well. Air Ace as a run has some really nice covers that are HUGELY overlooked.

A few off the top of my head, I don't have an OSPG handy, so I'm not sure if they're listed, but pretty sure they're not. I need to stop using so many commas.

With the microchamber paper in the Eerie, was it previously slabbed? If so, what grade was it and were the defects noted?

Wonderworld 13 (I think, maybe 12)

Nice! Did they let you know about the back corner?

"It's Christmas time in Hollis.....Moe?" Buttock, you never heard of the infamous Hollis Moe pedigree collection? 10x Guide routinely. It was a failed reference to this Christmas classic. Sorry about the ad, I couldn't find it on Youtube.

Lots of copies are from Joe Koch and have foxing & tanning.
