    Started in '42 with ALL-WINNERS #4 through '54 with WEIRD SCIENCE-FANTASY #26. mm

    Thanks for asking! Now that I'm getting them graded, little by little, I'm afraid they'll stay in the family for awhile. Just sent off my ALL-STAR #38 ('48), CAPTAIN AMERICA #60 ('47) and FLASH COMICS #98 ('48)...I'll let you know how they grade. mm

    That's why I take my grandchildren with me to the Comic Stores...don't want to look too out of place. mm

    Do you know if the covers shown on the newstand on BATMAN #199 are copies of real issues? mm
  5. Marty Mann
    Great cover...THANKS! mm

    In my copy of STRANGE ADVENTURES #208 from January '68 there is an ad for the February '69 issue of BATMAN COMICS #199 with a cover featuring Batman trying to buy a copy of his own comic book. This is one I've never seen! mm

    77...began collecting in 1942. Still have most of them. mm
  8. Marty Mann
    Would you consider a Four Color FLASH GORDON #190 "The Adventures of the Flying Saucers" Golden Age Sci-Fi ? mm
  9. Marty Mann
    Is that it?...the thread ends? mm
  10. Marty Mann
    THANK YOU...THANK YOU! mm

    That means I probably have the oldest private collection, comics I bought off the newstand between '42 and '54...wow! mm
  12. Marty Mann
    I said..."Don't tell me that!". mm
  13. Marty Mann
    Please...don't tell me at 77 I'm the oldest guy here! mm

    It was in the mid to late '60's that I first realized my cardboard boxes of comics in the garage were worth more than the dime I paid for them...their value to me were the hours of escapism reading pleasure they provided me. mm

    The hardest thing I remember about buying comics in the '40's was making the decision to spend my dime on this month's BATMAN or SUPERMAN or to pick-up a STUNTMAN #1 or SUPERBOY #1 or MARVEL FAMILY #1 (I was already getting CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES through the mail)...it was a tough world! mm

    Collected from '42 to '54 when I went into the Navy. Started again in the early '70's with my sons...& now with my Grandson. Still have most of what I bought in the '40's & '50's...my sons have everything from the '70's. Most of my books came from Newark, NJ & Scranton,PA. mm

    77...got my first comic in '42..."ALL WINNERS #4"...still have it! mm

    Going through some stuff and found some catalogs from 1980-81 from the PASSAIC BOOK CENTER on Main Avenue, Passaic, NJ. There was a period when I bought a lot of books from there...even went there once. Wondered how many others had the same pleasure of buying from them. mm

    I'll add #150...the Bat-Signal is great, but the silhouettes of BATMAN & ROBIN are lame. mm
  22. Marty Mann
    Still wondering if anyone is interested in STAR HAWKS newspaper strip? mm
  23. Marty Mann
    Just got my DETECTIVE #108...graded at 4.0...next I'll submit DETECTIVE #164... going for a "Bat-Signal" theme. mm
  24. Marty Mann
    Around 500 that I collected between 1942 and 1952. I have two in the process of being graded...Detective #108 (02/46) and All-American #100 (08/46) Let's see how this works out before I go for my big ones. mm
  25. Marty Mann
    I don't know if this is the right place to ask...but is anyone interested in the STAR HAWKS newspaper strip by Gil Kane & Ron Goulart? The strip began on October 3rd, 1977. I have what I believe to be a complete run from 10/3/77 to 5/27/78. Any interest out there for newspaper strips. mm
