Paging Doctor @Randall Dowling
 

An addition to the Ace Double collection, and the last Pennant with any SF/ Fantasy content.  Most of this one is labeled non-genre by the ISFDB, but they have a couple flagged as relevant.

Several books in today.  I know the series is no longer popular, but I figure anything that was so successful for so long deserves a look.  And the Pyramid editions have some great covers.

Anybody know who the artist is on this one?  I grabbed a copy a few years ago just because it's an incredible cover:

In today. 

Today's addition.  Jacket is price clipped but that's just something I just need to live with sometimes on Arkham House and its imprints.

Board member @Axe Elf passed away April 15th. Many of us were deeply worried after he stopped showing up in the Warren Magazine reading club thread he curated, but we were not able to confirm his passing until today.
He was probably most active in the Magazine forums, but I saw him posting everywhere across the forums.  His love for the Warren Magazines directly inspired me to put together my collection, we were both working on our runs at the same time and we frequently pointed each other at books we knew we needed.
I wish I had known him better but I'm glad we were friends on the forum for the couple years we were here together, and I miss him and his funny, insightful comments and his absolute delight in the hobby.

He was always apologetic when we disagreed dramatically in the Warren Magazine reading club; he very much stuck to his guns but he wanted to be sure that nobody was taking the disagreement personally.  I always assured him that if we always agreed on every story it would make the club dull if not pointless.
I'm going to include a link to the reading club thread, in case anybody is interested but hasn't seen it.  @Jayman and I have been working to keep it running since Axe disappeared, and we will continue to do so as long as we're able.  I think Axe would be happy to know it's continuing in his absence:

Great, Thrilling Western - hero action cover....

Probably either Adventure #247 or Shock Suspenstories #6.  Maybe Mad #1 or Daredevil #1?

Back when I was in junior high school (now classified as "middle school"), a fellow schoolmate sold me an Avengers #2 for $10; it was a 1.5, but great to read...sadly, it was lost somewhere in those "back-in-the-day" days...

Cracked out and read my Spitfire and the Troubleshooters #1 9.9 and MAN was it ever worth it.  
 

To add some color to the thread, here's one that I think definitely deserves the label... it's been an iconic image for decades, at least since the Steranko history of comics and possibly earlier.  Not sure if it's actually getting the designation from CGC, but I would be surprised if it isn't:

This is a classic in my eyes a haunting cover of worldly control 

I have considered this a classic for sometime now

I have some very sad news to report:  I can now verify that @Axe Elf has passed.
I was rereading the thread when I came across this post
Which provides both a birth date, and his real name on a story he had published when he was 12.  With that information, I found this obituary, which matches all relevant details.

Rest in peace, my friend, and thank you again for everything you contributed in your time here.

In today.
