Hardcover is tough.

Yup! Two Unicorns in one batch.

Yes Paul, Northern fells in the Lake District. Half way up Blencathra is Scales tarn, here is a photo of it from Sharp edge.

All the prices look square on the Conan 4's .

 

You're right - I mixed up the 4 and the 23. The 23 has the Whitman. The 4s all look the same to me unless I'm missing something.

I thought my eyes were going.

This not Bronze Age - but it is relevant.

 

Marvel published this new Treasury version of the 'Spidey' series, which is pretty cool in itself, but they brought back the Bronze Treasury masthead (is that the right word?), which is awesome!

 

 

 

From comicbookresources.com:

 

"Spidey: All-New Treasury Edition" arrives in June, collecting the series' first five issues with a cover price of "$15.99.

 

"Nick Bradshaw’s work on 'Spidey' practically leaps off the page," said Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel in a statement. "We knew we had to do something special for fans of this series. And since Robbie Thompson does such a wonderful job of capturing the early days of Peter Parker’s super hero career, we though 'Spidey' was the perfect title to bring back this classic comic format."

 

The format, also called Marvel Special Edition and Marvel Treasury Special, was a popular one from the mid-'70s through 1981, featuring mostly reprinted, but sometimes new material in a 10" by 14" package. A number of milestone comic moments were commemorated in the format, including Superman and Spider-Man meeting, and Spider-Man and the Hulk battling at the 1980 Winter Olympics.

 

Yuk! That drawing of Spidey is awful.

 

Joe Kubert's The Bible. They reprinted this (as well as Superman/Ali) in hardcover format not long ago. The Superman/Ali was printed at both the Treasury size and regular size.

 

 

Actually, I just went and looked, and the HC was printed in Treasury size and Deluxe size (rather than standard size).

 

Here they are side by side:

 

 

 

 

And the original Treasury next to the HC:

 

 

 

 

And finally, I have to show off my Neal Adams Superman sketch on the smaller Hardcover - it's tough to photograph, as it's silver ink, but it looks sick in person.

 

 

Great set.

Those are great! I see you have a regular and Whitman version of Conan 4 but are there any differences in the other multiples, or do you just love those books so much you had to have more than one?

 

Those DCs are also sweet. I especially like the Adams covers! I think those were created for the Treasuries only, correct? I don't think they were repurposed from earlier books, which makes them even more special IMO.

How can you tell? They look exactly the same to me.

I missed one.

And this!

 

This guy - vinsuniverse - makes these killer custom Megos (I'm not affiliated).

 

Here is one he did for the Superman/Spider-Man Treasury. Sick.

When I saw this (without reading what Tim had to say about it first) I could not believe I had not seen it advertised in the seventies Marvel comics, it looks so real, do you know what sort of money they go for?

Wow! Some incredible stuff in this thread.

 

Here's my contribution, which (sadly) I sold earlier this year...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You sold it?

No! it is the same size as UK Marvel weeklies, I will try and get a picture of both copies side by side to give you some idea.

 

Hey David - I just realized you're over in the U.K.

 

I'm curious - did they have both pence and cents copies of these treasuries on the shelf over there? Or was it just one of the two, and you collected others later?

The only way you could get a cents copy was through specialist comic shops and mail order, I think, newsagents sold pence copies, I have always been about the cents issues and sold my pence copy, I regret it now though.

Took the dog up Blencathra the other week when it was really hot, he cooled himself off in Scales tarn.

A spinner rack too?

 

 

I still have a few

@Warlord and wormboy - I've taken several pictures of it but photobucket is taking forever to run on my computer. I did find a few pics for an article I wrote on store displays for a FB group:

 

 

 

Do you still have all your awesome treasury collection?

 

Funny you should ask, because as of yesterday, I sold off everything except a few boxes of underground comix and multipacks. The buyer was great about letting me keep the Ali display.

I wish I knew you were selling, you had some stuff I need.

Apologies for hijacking the thread .....Nah!

And Paperback versions (anyone seen any other paperback Treasury reprints?).

 

 

Backs:

 

And these.

Here are some more fun ones: Hanna Barbera #1-3. Tough to find in grade.

 

I need these.
