This is on the inside cover of Vampirella 9.

 

 

Well, not that exact one... it's on my comic room wall.

 

My CAF

This Jones page is a killer! Congrats!

I love your CAF gallery, there's a lot of really cool stuff there!

I love the Wrightson RBCC cover!!!

I finally purchased a cool Wrightson pin up last month, it took some time to find something I liked.

These are on the way from Metro...... a couple of favorites in fairly nice shape.... GOD BLESS...

Congrats! Battle 55 features a cool story by Williamson. I also like the Severin cover.

I need to seriously get into Atlas war one day!

Congrats! I really like those early Flash you have posted!

I need to get an upgrade for this issue one day.

 

 

Sorry. That's an issue on which I did the scooping:

 

 

I don't think you'd like to trade.....

WOW, great looking copy. If you ever want to sell it, please let me know.

 

Thanks!

I will probably never sell this book, because I sold to many comics in my life and I learned from that and I will probably not be able to get an up-grade for this, the book is to expensive in high grade.

 

Unbelievable copy of a fantastic book.

Congrats to Bomber-bob on the 107 also. (thumbs u

 

 

Does anyone have a copy of 113?

Thanks!

I've got to say that I also like the 107....

and the 110 of course!

I'm still looking for nice copies of those!

Did you buy that one from Harley at the same time you bought the #121?

 

No, I bought this at Comic-Con in 2011, but I don't remember from whom. It wasn't one of the guys I usually buy from.

, those are awesome!!!

Nice! I also favor the 5.5 copy, it really looks better!

I can throw a little fuel on the fire. The Flash has a special place in my heart (along with many DC characters).

 

 

Nice copies! I favor the 6.5 though, even with the cream to ow pages.

It's really cool that you remember the what issues you did buy and read back then,... Cool memories!!

 

That's what it's all about for me - the memories! That's really why I collect.

 

 

If others have the first few books, Showcase 4, Flash 105-107 let's see em.

 

Alright then. Here are my first two:

 

 

 

You're 105 looks great! This book is one of the 5 books I most desire!

I envy you! I'd like to own the first issues of Flash, I will be getting there one day. I only hope it's soon!

 

It might be fun to do in this thread what the Brave and Bold thread did recently (thanks to Silver) Let's see if we can list all of the Flash books from 105 to 175, perhaps more if there is interest. Of course if someone does have Showcase #4, feel free to start the ball rolling. I will have to wait until #108, as that is my earliest.

 

Great! I posted my copy of Showcase 13 yesterday. I already posted 111, 116 and 121. I can re-post them if nobody has them.

I bought them at the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con. I do not remember from whom I purchased the 111, but I got 121 from Harley Yee.

 

Hah! I was wondering whether it may have been from Harley! I had looked through a pile of high grade DCs he had purchased locally in 2005 and I couldn't afford all the ones that tempted me so the #121 (and a #123) were among the ones I passed upon. Really nice looking copies, but with an annoying touch of spine wear. I've not seen better copies since though....

 

You are posting a lot of great looking DC books....

 

The ones I've been posting in the Ten Cent thread are ones I've posted already in the appropriate threads in the past two years. If you look around, you'll find hundreds and hundreds more of my scans.

 

...did you purchase them when you were a kid (one that took care of his books, unlike most kids back then) or did you buy them later on?

 

I did take care of my comics when I was a kid. I used to yell at my friends not to fold the covers over when they read my comics because doing that wrecked them!

 

Unfortunately, I ended up selling all my comics myself to a used book store in late 1965 because I'd moved onto other interests - Drag Cartoons, Creepy and Eerie magazines, monster models, slot cars and gas powered Cox airplanes to be precise. All the scans you see me posting are of comics I've rebought since 1979 or so.

 

Here though are a few writeups I've posted on the comics I read and collected as a kid:

The 121 was not cheap, but I don't regret buying it!

I think we all moved on to something else around the time we hit puberty.

I started to buy comics again in the early 90's.

It's really cool that you remember the what issues you did buy and read back then, I remember only some stories I loved back then. Cool memories!!

Staple location isn't that bothersome to me if they are close to the spine and aligned with each other. I am more concerned with the wrap of the cover.

I'm ok with that, too. But look at the upper staple, it's way more of-center than the lower one. But I'm not complaining, it's still a nice book.
