from creepy Nazi clown with a hatchet to one with a knife:

from Crystal Skull to the Purple Cranium (the Red Skull's spectacularly inept nephew that lost his job at the Berlin Applebee's, so the Skull bought him a new suit, set him up with some minions, and gave him a job and then the guy isn't sure that dropping 5000 lbs. on poor ol' Bucky is gonna do the job, so he has his henchmen add spikes to the slab, but that gives Cap time to get to the secret lair and...well, you get the gist. Herr Skull was not happy and it really made for a somewhat tense family Christmas that year.)

Very cool stuff They look like "Horsemen of Apocalypse". If so, this seems to be a somewhat recurring theme in super-hero comic books: I seem to recall there is a Timely comic with the same idea. I can't think of a Timely with a Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse cover. The three I'm familiar with are All Star #24 and:

My Chinese history is a little sketchy, but the cover appears to depict Chiang Kia-shek and his wife Soong Mei-ling (also known as Madame Chiang). He led Chinese opposition to the Japanese during WWII, but lost the subsequent Chinese civil war to Mao Tse-tung's communist forces. He fled mainland China to Taiwan where he continued as president of Taiwan for a number of years.

Did you say the hands of Dr. Fate?

Yeah, it's got a pretty bad spine split. Cover is barely attached.

I'll second that. Wasn't familiar with this charity, but donating was easy. And as always, thank you Sharon and the other folks who donated time, money, and comics. And thirdgreenham...

On to the new thing. Just picked this up. The primary collector of the Cookeville collection was Leroy Mackie, but some of the books in the collection belonged to his brother, James. Found this neat little item. Of course, it lacks the SN initials because it wasn't purchased at the local store where the two brothers bought their comics, but was a subscription copy.

Apologizes for bringing this thread back from the dead, but I thought it would be the appropriate spot to show a couple of items. one old and one new. First, I picked up this Adventure #46 from nearmint (thanks, Jeff) a couple of years ago. When it arrived, I got a closer look at the writing on the front cover. It's a Cookeville! When you pair it with this Cookeville that I bought at an LCS in that town, I've got a mini-run of Cookeville Sandman covers.

Thank you. It would certainly fit better in your collection of high grade gems than in my motley crew.
