Here's an example of a 9.4 with bindery chip. No longer in my collection.

Right, Steve. happens a lot with Fiction House. Mind, some of the Church Planets recently auctioned did look a tad overgraded to me, but that is only going by the scans. Non-bindery chips, dust shadows, etc.

I agree - whose idea was this anyway?

You are such a rebel.

You're planning to get run over by a bus in twenty years time?

'Dying is the highest peak from which to view our entire lives' Dracula 2020 Just watched the first episode - it's written by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, the writers of Sherlock - Dracula if Bram Stoker had been Oscar Wilde. [The Importance of Being Vlad, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People]

God forbid!

All in the best possible taste! This is a question I've been pondering. I suppose I would do my best to anticipate the end in good time to liquidate, then disburse the funds as appropriate. But of course, the question also raises that hoary old issue, that you cant take 'em with you. Any thoughts, practical, philosophical or otherwise? [Global warming is really gonna damage that newsprint, ain't it?] If this thread dies a death it wouldn't be overly ironic...

I actually cant think of any reasons why it wouldn't be!

Not sure that #72 justifies inclusion, but what the heck, it's Christmas!

Beautiful cover. Do you think it might be the only surviving copy? And - are there any known Australian comics that are thought to be extinct?

..and hard on its heels, my runner up. Absurdly tough in high grade, despite being so late in the run - and such a wonderful, 'sleeping beauty' cover.

Here's a tough one for the New Year! Decide your own criteria - desirability, dollar value, sentiment, rarity, unicorn status, some or all of those and/or other factors - but there can be only one! However, you can also post a runner up if it's really close, as it was for me. Here after much deliberation, sleeplessness, worry, several stiff drinks and the occasional panic attack is my single best comic, according to me. Share your reasons if you want to. And no, I don't care that my choice is restored, and not the Church/highest graded! It's all about the colors for me. Even now, there still seems to be confusion about [what are] 'true' Fiction house covers...

Happy New Year to all my fellow boardies! May the road rise up to greet you in 2020!

I was thrilled when I learned that his post-war Sub-mariner/Namora material is to be collected. Hopefully they will do the same for his Atlas work someday!
