Also, a question. As stated above, I am looking for the back cover to Human Torch #36. If the cover is split, how would anyone know whether it was actually the back cover to the right comic versus coming from any other Atlas Comic from April 1954? Does CGC grade a comic with no back cover any differently than they would grade the same comic with a (split) back cover that was likely married?

I'm just curious.

Looking for:

Back cover to Human Torch #36 (1954).

Sorry to hear about your mom's passing and sincerest condolences.

 

I am sure we will all appreciate your posting those Lulu scans

Thanks.

When I was growing upin the early 80's, my mom would drive me all over the place looking for golden age comics. While in a comic shop one day, she spotted the Little Lulu's and remembered loving them as a kid. Either out of boredome at having to sit in a comic shop for an hour or out of a desire to have a common experience with me, she started collecting issues.

My mom died a month ago and I will always remember spending that time with her.

I have my dad's original collection (mostly Dell westerns and Classics Illustrated's) from the early/mid 50's - about 100 books. Next time I go to my dad's house, I am going to get my mom's box of Little Lulu's and I will post some of them here in memory of Jeannie (my mom).

I LOVE the multi-superhero DC anthology titles - Adventure Comics and World's Finest Comics being two prime examples. These two titles are a lot of fun to read and collect (although the reading can be hampered by all that dang plastic )

Here are some of the post-code issues in my collection...

a key from the heart of the silver age:

 

My favorite Superman themed (ie Action, Superman, WF, etc.) post WWII.

I've been waiting to find "the right one" to buy for years now and still haven't found it (but the seeking is ofen more fun than the finding).

Dear G.A.tor,

If I refrain from bidding on the WF you are coveting, would you sell me some of your undercopies of WF between #65 and #90 at a really good price?

Nice. First shrinking Henry Pym, 1st costumed Ant Man and 1st Giant Man!

I know I'm supposed to like the #27 best, but I'm partial to #35

Really krappy pic of my early raw books...

 

The pic may be krappy, but the books are awesome

Holy Hepcat! That is amazing!

I can't wait to show my wife so that she can see that my obsessions pale in comparison to those of others and maybe let me indulge in them a bit more.

As a self-diagnosed and unashamed OCD, I applaud your thoroughness.

Thanks for the nice comments on my "Circle 12" Strange Tales (thumbs u . I love the "pre-logo" Marvel Superhero books. They still retain a lot of the aesthetic of the pre-hero books.

Love it Silver!

No comparison to Jaster-Moreel's earlier group shot, but I just completed my mini-collection of "Pre-Logo" Strange Tales superhero books .

They range from 4.5 to 6.5 and several were bought from boardies.

I bought from a boardie (Richard) a few months back and finally got around to photographing it...

<3 I loves me them pre-hero B&B's

Now somebody here just needs to put a few up for sale

<3 Love those B&B's Mike. I would say you got a VERY good deal.

My son wants me to post a sumo, so...

Hepcat, I said this in another thread, but I really like the books you collect. You're right up there with Silver in terms of the type of collection I'd love to accumulate.

Anyway, here is my favorite Lois Lane comic (as I'm a big Green Arrow fan):

Hepcat...

You're my kinda' collector. (thumbs u

These are a couple I got recently:

 

 

 

 

Two of my favorite things..

1) This cover

2) full date stamps

wanna sell it?

Here's mine (a 4.0 ot 4.5). I bought it in 1997 from Comic Book World in Cincinnati for $30...

Thanks.

Not the high grade stuff that is normally posted here, but they were fun and challenging to collect.

No postings on this thread for months?

Here is my completed collection of the 10¢ Suicide Squad issues...

Now on to the 10¢ Cave Carsons

Here are my 10¢ Suicide Squads (I'm also posting this in the Brave and Bold section). Thanks to the several boardies who helped me complete this mini-collection.

Hmmm. I'm almost done with my 101 to 107 (pre-logo issues) in 4.5 to 6.5. I've got two left to go (105 & 106). Hopefully we can finish around the same time and get them posted for the world (or the inhabitants of the world who frequent this board) to see.

Got this one from boardie MLMeade...

I love the MMC that feature The Torch, Subbie AND Cap. What a deal for a dime!
