    Beautiful books. Here's a trivia question: How many Golden Age comics have rhinos on the cover? That might be a very fun subset to collect and display. Or, if the answer is "one", then congrats, you've got them all! As for Heritage, I swear that their grading on unslabbed books has gotten miles tighter than it was 12 months ago. Just look at some of the stuff they've got up now. You mean to tell me that the Hangman #2 (what a cover!!!!) is merely G/VG, even with the flaws they describe? Here's the cover, not because I want to judge their grading, but because I think it's wicked cool. The green background, the rope logo, the clock bondage, the gallows....they don't make 'em like this anymore.

    That's it!! What a cool, obscure comic. That could be one of the 10 worst costumes of all time. What's that, a seashell on his chest? The story is unreal, an absolute Golden Age classic. They weren't kidding when they wrote the word "Romance" on the cover. The hero, Hyper the Phenomenal (who for some reason is never called Hyper the Phenomonal, only "Don-Vin"), is trying to save his girl Winifred, but the evil princess Dolores wants him to herself. Here's a quote from Dolores: "You saved my life Don-Vin and I love you. Let Winifred die. I'll make you forget her." It's just embarrassingly bad, and fantastic. My issue of #2 has the conclusion of the story from your 1st issue. So, if you've been dying to know how it comes out, PM me. And get therapy.

    Not that I've been able to find. I'm sure there's a good story behind those guys. MY NEW GOAL: I aspire to be the Ian Levine of Hyper Publications!! Only one more book to go! (Unless there are some rare promotionals I'm unaware of).

    Ok, this next one is major-league obscure, from 1940. When I saw the cover at a convention a few years ago, I just had to have it. If anybody has a decent copy of the first issue, let me know!!

    My exact address? Hmmmmmmmm...........1060 West Addison. Isn't that right, Elwood?

    This one's pretty obscure, but for some reason I really like the green masthead and red background.
