I was hoping sartre would post those Weird Chills. The colors on that #1 are spectacular! I prefer that cover to the other two.

I think those monsters are very sexy. What cleavage?

the best GA pedigree story It's great but for me nothing tops Okajima. I wish we had as thorough an account of its origins. good point. I think the Reilly and Okajima collections are great too but there are a few unknowns or uncertainties with those collections. The Larson is confirmed with the OO thanks to Berk's detective work many years ago Plus Lamont has a really cool mustache. I bet Miss Okajima doesn't even have a mustache. 50/50 Did anyone ever mention you guys are really bad? What are the chances?

Here's a more recent pick up - like, 20 years more recent!

Tough book. Don't appear to be any copies on the census. First one I've seen for sale in the past couple of years. Anyone have a high-grade copy? Joanna I think Sure wish she would post more frequently. Been about six months .... She ought to have her own thread to enshrine her complete Baker romance set.

Truly awesome, like all the others. Thank goodness I have this one. This is a beauty congrats on that copy! Thanks Johnny. Poor scan. It would press up if not for the inset staples. I'm willing to bet none of sartre's books are pressed though.

hee hee - I have a feeling you'll pay for that one at the weekend. Lord knows, I hope so.

I cant wait until Friday for you to wait until Friday either. Oh - wait...

You're on a roll Jimbo!

Actually, that's not the case. Anything published before 1971 in the UK would have been priced in our old currency, which would have been "d" or "1 /-" prices. We changed our currency to Pence "P" prices in 1971. Just to confuse matters. Thanks for undoing my misinformation. So, what did "D" stand for? "Denarius". First minted about 211 BC. Italian common noun for money: denaro. In France,the denier. Arabia & Serbia, the dinar. Macedonia, denar. Spanish dinero. Hence "d" as the abbreviation for the British penny prior to 1971.

+ 1.......your books posts are mind boggling, Sartre..... Jimbo -forgive me for messing with your post. I just noticed Sartre has only posted 630 posts. I've posted thousands. But which of us has honestly made more impression? Sartre has not posted a single book the rest of us would not love to love!

Nice one Pat

Nice one Jimbo - I wonder what the Everett art inside is like? (Wouldn't it be nice of more Atlas masterworks were published?)

One of my favorite precode covers.

Perhaps that should be, "especially by today's standards". The way Baker's men all look like they're 48 years old, TAT 2 looks alot like a silly schoolgirl being abducted, against her better judgement. Except she looks about 25. Not that I'm complaining!

...the jump for the Mystic 18 was...... irritating........ but I'm not going to be a sore loser. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Better a sore loser than a sore winner - that really smarts!

You are probably right. It's one of those I've never found a decent copy of for some reason. I've always found it to be one of the more expressive covers. Probably the wedding dress.

Yes, a bunch at a time...

Stan Lee thought very highly of Maneely. Imagine if fate had worked out differently, and it was Kirby who'd tragically died before FF #1 and Maneely who lived to become Marvels mainstay.

Yes. He also beached some books by over pricing.
