How about also for dealers, Bill Thailing , Claude Held, Howard Rogofsky. Bert Blum. Collectors , Raymond Miller and Rick Durell.

My personal opinion Jerry Bails , kickstarting Fandom. G. B. Love , Rockets Blast . Phil Seuling, Comic cons . Bob Overstreet , Legitimizing the hobby.

Rip Steve. You were a great and original artist. Your work will live on!

Good Lord, Steve. What a book to own. That is beautiful!! Craig Flessel at his finist.

My favorite Sheena cover in the series.Have one myself in 5.5.

Over the top. Brutal!! Great stuff.

What a great copy. Congrats! One of all time favorite comics from the Silver Age . Classic cover and battle issue. Kirby at his peak, imho. I remember my late father bought me this book back in the summer of 1966 along with Spider Man # 41. still have it. I upgraded some years back with a 8.5 from Bob Storms.

Awesome!! Congrats. Never seen that one before.

One of the best covers from the Golden Age. Have a copy myself.

I agree . It sold out at my local comic shop.

The one that I would never sell is my 1967 Merry Marvel Marching Society Kit. Complete. It's in beautiful condition. I still have my original membership card to go with it . The only thing to survive from the original kit. My Mom and Dad paid 69 cents for it back then. Lost in time over the years. I just purchased this kit last year from a collector. When it came in the mail I was taken back to ten years old again. What a rush! 50 years later. One of the great things of collecting , Memories!!

I think it was Ted's friend , Rich Mossow who found a collection.

Even though I never met John. I knew who he was in the hobby. Always heard good things about him. A truly passionate collector.May you rest in peace. My condolences to his family .

Simply Stunning!!

Love that book. JIM#58 killer Ditko cover. One of my all time faves.

That's a great attitude to have. I feel that way myself, esp. as we get older.

Yes, that is one whacky cover. The Clock appears on 2 whole pages also, I think. Better deal is a Funny Picture Stories #1 , Clock story and cover. I'm biased, I own one.

This scenario sounds good ,but didn't Burrell store his books in a attic. I remember reading that somewhere. He liked the Fiction House Books. Some of the pages on books were burnt ,tanning. Wouldn't the Suspense have damage also?? Again I don't know if this story is true or not. It's something I read or heard. It's all speculation until someone knows.

Your # 5 is sweet!!!

Oh my goodness! That's a keeper.

I have that run also. Incredible Kirby and later Wood art. That has to be one of my all time favorite runs in the Silver Age. I completed my run about 3 years ago. Most are in Fine condition. BTW # 2 is a bear to get a nice copy of. # 5 was a little difficult also for me.

That Russ Heath art is to die for. I have both of those books.

Thanks for responding. It is pretty rare.

Go for them also if you can , some great stories and art.

Hi Gator. I asked in the Centaur thread , maybe you didn't see it. Detective Picture Stories # 5 , is this book commanding crazy money nowadays? Bruce Wayne prototype? I remember seeing one on Link and the seller was asking crazy money for one. I don't know if it ever sold though. There is a Funny Pages also like that . Bruce Wayne Prototype. Thanks.
