I am deeply grateful for your lovely kind words

I had every single DC comic. She didn't. End of.

New Adventure 26 preceded by New Adventure 27. I did the deal to buy 26 and Harley Yee kindly collected it for me in San Diego 2004. Some of the rarest were HOW YOU CAN DEFEND YOUR HOME, SILLY PUTTY MAN, HAPPY TOOTH, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS COMIC'S SEAL OF APPROVAL, THE SUPERMAN BRADMAN COMIC, and two early Golden Age with plain brown covers - ridiculously rare but one was rarer than the other. They were either E.C. or Gaines or ALL-AMERICAN, but they both counted as early DC comics. I can't remember the titles but I had them both and they were as rare as you can get. Can anybody help me out here please ????

Hers was never complete. Every obscure comic I turned up, she had never heard of.

They're not mine. I stupidly sold them in 2008. I'm crying cos I miss them so much. If Ivan had the whole lot slabbed it would be the world's most unique pedigree ever. The owner has severely warned me that I am not allowed to speak to Ivan. For years I put the collection out of my mind. But seeing the recent slabbed photos is making me feel nostalgic, sick, and sorry. How could I have done this to myself. How could I lose so much money just to get a quick influx of cash back in 2008. Literally less than ten percent of the value of the collection. I HAD EVERY F@@KING DC COMIC EVER - with no exception whatsoever. They were all photographed and used in Paul Levitz's book

Just for entertainment purposes. The thread is sort of legendary now... I'd rather it be buried and forgotten.

So why has anyone resurrected this six year old thread ??

No, it's probably more the the kind of premonition you get when something nasty is about to happen. Lets call in an inkling.

Couldn't resist it.

16 years was a ridiculous and sickening wait. 25 is even worse. We'll all be old men.

There are six copies on there. I guess that means it's not scarce any longer.

It is fairly scarce, but I do have a spare copy.

That's a very good question and one I don't understand myself, and the reason I stayed away for a few years. If their objections against me are because they think I should take more interest in the rest of the boards, then why go out of their way to antagonise me on this thread, which is clearly of no interest to them at all. I don't go on Marvel threads, after all.

That's 25 years away, at the rate of one a month.

The amazing cover of Superman 701, which brings it all back full circle.

But just because most collectors are not familiar with it doesn't stop it being printed by All American Comics. Most collectors don't realise that Atomic Comics, Federal Men Comics, Warrior Comics, Bingo Comics, and Cavalier Comics are also DCs, printed by Major Malcolm Wheeler Nicholson after he had a major row with Donenfield, comprised entirely of DC reprints, mainly from Detective Comics or Adventure Comics.

What language is this posted in, please ??

I have all mine in one place now, so if you send me a list, I'll go through and see if I have any you don't know about. I never tried to get them all but I do have most of them.

And I never will.

It IS a DC. It was printed and manufactured by All American Comics. DC themselves recognise it as a DC so any doubt you may harbour is nonsense, frankly.

Well said.

The Dirt-Minator I got you, when I found two copies, is simply the rarest DC giveaway of the lot, and has never turned up since, not anywhere, not one single copy. Why do you exclude "How You Can Defend Your Home" ?? Is there something I don't know about ??

But there are some books like Double Action 2, Narrative Illustration, Good Triumphs Over Evil, How You Can Defend Your Home, and Big Book Of Fun Comics that, no matter how much publicity they get, they will never be common.

I cannot believe anyone would sell that for fifteen dollars. It makes my head reel.

Wow. How much was it ?? How did you get it ?? Mine was six years ago.
