  1. Great looking 1.5 (thumbs u
  2. That is about the nicest 4.5 I have ever seen. WOW Love the colors and it does look higher! Looks better than some of my 5.0's!
  3. Schomburg's art is always so detailed - you can tell he took his time and really put heart into his work - unlike some other GA artists.
  4. It seems like most of the covers featuring Hitler show him as a buffoon, scared, or just generally ridicule him. This one however presents him in a more sinister light. Real Life Comics #3 is another good one (paging adamstrange) Someone call me. Holy Cow!
  5. "Hey Kid! Drop the Ha-Ha Comic and grab that All-Negro Comics!" Haha
  6. I love pics like this one, it is so fun to see the comics in there original news stand goodness. My grandmother (god bless her) when see was a young adult worked in her fathers drug store. She started working there after she finished school in 1938. One of the items drug stores sold where of course comics. She told me (years ago) when she was working there and got bored she would read the comics. She said she remembers the first Action Comic when Superman debuted. She remembered "that issue where Batman killed with a gun" (Detective 32). It was a joy to chat with her about it. She has long since past and unfortunately she did not keep any of the comics except for one (many did not think too). But as a collector I have to laugh (to keep from crying) that my grandmother used to get boxes of mint comics that are worth so much today and read them as a young adult. If anyone is curious the comic she kept was a coverless Detective 32. When the person that delivered the new shipment of comics came every month they would take the issues that did not sell and rip off the covers and either throw them away or DC would sell them at a discounted price to stores that sold used comics at the time and the stores would sell them for 5c or less. She asked to keep a 32 that did not sell - the delivery guy ripped off the covers and gave it to her. Here's a pic of the 32 Very cool! And I love this 32 because of it. that is a super cool story! Thanks for telling it... Thanks, only problem is she didn't keep any others,

  8. Welcome to the boards Bat-Man. In answer to your question, I don't think I've ever posted a comic book that I purchased new off the newsstands. So far, every one was published before I was born. Thank you! And you have probably heard this many times over. But your collection is the grandest I have ever seen. Truly amazing. How long have you been collecting?
  9. The BangZoom collection just might be the best I have ever seen. I'm new here. Out of curiosity when did BangZoom start collecting or did he buy these himself new as a kid?
