Covers like that are why I love comics!

Those are some great cover man! I've been an MLJ collector for quite a while now, but as with all collecting I've become a bit bored and jaded as of late. Seeing those Centaur covers has revitalised my interest. Keep em comin'!

I picked up that Archie 3 from an antique store in '97 or '98 for 199.00. White pages and the only thing missing is some kind of code saying it's a pedogree. I would say that it's the best copy of that book in captivity unless someone can show me a better copy. It's as nice as any Mile Highs I've seen. Think I'll keep it for a while. It's worth ridiculous money.

I would have to go with MLJ, but I don't consider them to be as under rated as you guys seem to think. I think they get a lot of respect, just maybe not the prices some of the other publishers get. I've also grown fond of Hillman because of Airboy. Easy to pick up and affordable and with great stories and cover art, particularly the early Air Fighters.
