Whiz 22 comes to mind!! He likes cool books for sure can’t judge him there!!

While we are sharing here is my All New 8!! Keep them coming remember there is NO wrong answer these are both sweeeeet books!! So hard to pick!! If anyone has a copy of Terrific 5 (that @G.A.tor doesn’t own obviously since he’s cornered the market 😊) or All-New 8 let’s see em and let the debates continue!!

I love that about it too!! Our hero’s name is the Red Blazer and his sidekick Sparkie. Red Blazer was affected by Astro-Pyro radiation (there was an aliens and a doctor involved haha!! This gave him the ability to fly and control heat and flames. Nowhere did I see he could take 2 bullets to the junk 😲. Interestingly while he and his sidekick often appeared on the covers they were mostly relogated to text stories within the books. All-New 8 does have this sweet splash that can’t be viewed on the likes of comicbookplus as this issue is mysteriously missing from their run!! The Boy Heroes had some Sweeeeet splashes including my favorite from issue #10 that I still regret not bidding harder on when CC brought it to auction. It came the the Jon Berk collection and is absolutely phenomenal!! Check it out if you can.

NOW THAT IS COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!

So i just saw a copy of Terrific #5 in a CGC 1.0 (good eye appeal) sell on Heritage for $3600 and it made me think WOW!! I love both Books and many consider them to be the poor man’s Suspense 3 although if you are poor you probably can’t afford either 😂. Lets compare them both and discuss. I absolutely love hearing from our Golden Age communities here on the boards The All-New came out 5 months earlier in 5/44 vs the Terrific in 9/44 so Harvey beat them to the punch on this one. CGC census wise — All-New Comics #8 (19 total copies) — Terrific Comics #5 (right at twice as many with 38 copies but that’s still not a lot) There are simply too many cool things on each but for starters both have awesome logos. Both have not 1 but 2 hooded villains but I prefer them on the Terrific they pop out more ala the one MMC28. The All-New has the sword wielding villain about to plunge our damsel like Suspese 3 but that wheel of Doom on Terrific is well...Terrific!! Both share a similar vantage point. The All-New has multiple discernible Nazis with one being plunged by our Boy Hero but I don’t see any labeled specifically on the Terrific. What is on the hand of that masked villain on the All-New is that Some type of futuristic at the time metal pincher claw? Whatever it is it’s awesome. The Terrific is a little less Schomburg busy which some may prefer and everyone loves a Yellow GA cover. I prefer the splashes on the insides to the All-New but that’s personal preference and let’s stick to just the covers here. What do y’all think?!! Look at them very closely then again from a distance and repeat several times. The Terrific seems to be more valuable in the open market even though it doesn’t seem as rare and comes up more frequently for sale. I want them both in my collection but only own 1 at the moment although both will be in my collection someday no doubt drum roll please....no surprise probably to most who know me the All-New #8 takes it for me as my bias for Red, White, and Blue clad heroes runs deep. The Terrific has almost a GGA feel to it with the female seemingly the main focal point vs the All-New where our hero is. Again which would you pick all things considered if you could only have 1?!!!

throw the census out on Speed 27 anyways it’s such an awesome book and we all know already those are super tough books. Always wanted one of these. You should probably share those pages here so we can see them 🤞🙌😊

Thanks bro!! What a beauty!!! 😉😊One of the coolest Aces heck coolest books out there!!

I will take this brother!

what a splendid show you just put on my friend!! I absolutely agree with this and that’s why it’s so fun. Speaking of ACE I always follow this thread waiting for another one of these to pop up!! I bought this a little over 5 years ago now and there were 2 unrestored blue labels the other being a 4.0. A little over 5 years have passed and not a single complete unrestored copy has been added to the census. Neither Comicconnect or Heritage have ever sold one. Undesirable or rare? Maybe we just need more time. That being said what I paid for it at the time I thought for sure would have brought more copies out of the woodwork 😂

Sha you are simply an AMAZING person...nuff said!!

Thanks brother it’s quite the eclectic group now looking at them all together haha!! We have DC, Timely, Lev Gleason, Fox, and Ace all represented!!

Here are a few I had reholdered recently

thanks brother!!!

Already posted but happy to own a copy

@Cat-Man_America @Robot Man I was just gonna ask for Cat to post his Police 26!! Absolutely LOVE this book and what a copy! !! So underrated and not seen that often either

I see what you there and I like it 😊🤟 thanks BP!!

Woke up this morning feeling like playing with some funny books. I found I am blessed to have a few more covers in my collection that have the Flame on them worth sharing. iphone 6s dont judge I like the home button haha!!

that’s one heck of a BB group shot by BB nonetheless. I’ve said it before when it comes down to moving that 12 I’m your guy!!

thanks Marty that’s saying something!!

7th page I found I don’t have an absundance of Flame covers in my collection most of Fox books I’ve hunted have either Blue Beetle, US Jones, The Eagle, or V-Man predominantly. I have about 3 of his covers if memory serves and a group shot will come sooner than later but for now this just in. My first and still owned copy which I love also has the Free Copy stamp on it but it is a married copy to a Flame #8 interior which imo does have cooler overall splash pages but the #6 does have this one and lets be honest this book is mostly cool bc of this awesome cover anyways. Colors are very rich in the new copy which has nice Ow-White pages.

This just in...

I’m in!!! Locked and loaded looks awesome!!

Cool

WTTB!! I think I just saw this beauty on IG with NerdyGirl Danielle!! You must be the lucky winner congrats!!
