  1. There is an Allentown and Mile High copy which I have never seen. I believe Mr Verzel owns the Mile High copy. Im sure I mis spelled his name.
  2. Trademarks protect company insignias like the mcdonalds name. Copyrights protect intellectual property like a book
  3. Ashcan you want so bad for that Double Action 1 to exsist ! I hope you find you Grail....
  4. Take a look at the Nick Cage copies to see what I mean
  5. You may not realize this but it is really tuff to get a Marvel #1 WITH A NICE blue cover. Most of them are washed out of appear greyish.
  6. That is true. I purchases a Double Action 2 in Fair condition back in the 1990s.
  7. I would have little interest in MPFW #1. It's not a Timely, it's not a newstand comic, and was either barely distributed or not at all. An interesting piece of comic book history no doubt, but MPFW #1 has an appeal more in line with novelties such as the "Reign of the Superman" fanzine story, or the Ka-Zar pulps, than it might to Timely completists. I find it interesting that you used this comparison ..wouldn't MPFW be very desirable regardless of its "Boston Theatres only" distribution, since it is a comic book? "Reign of the Superman" was a fanzine...so I can see why it could be considered a novelty compared to Action #1. It does not appear that MPFW would be a novelty compared to Marvel #1, as they are apples to apples -- both comic books. I assure you this is not the consensus view on MPFW. It is a VERY important comicbook!
  8. I remember Gary Carter being a great D.C golden age collector.Had most every issue. Anyone ever ask him about a Double Action #1? He was one of the pioneer collectors going way back.
  9. Yes. My personal opinion is that The Submariner is at the very top of the list of Timely Superheros , Right there with Cap, human torch and the other Timely characters. The only characters I would say are more popular for sure would be Superman Batman and Spiderman.
  10. There is a one of a kind item associated with this book. The original artwork COVER does exsist for this book and sold in the mid 90s for about 23k.
  11. I did own a copy of MPFW from 1995 to 2000.. I bought my copy from John Mcqlafhlin in 1995[the Book Sail]. [[NOT SALE]] It was a V.F-...cream pages. At the time I picked it up for 8g at the San Diego Comic Con. While this book is rare[less than 10 copies] It does come up for sale every few years for some reason. Ive certainly seen this book up for sale 3 or 4 times in the last 10 years. If there is a will there is a way.This book is NOT impossible to get.
  12. Shuster artwork is very rare actually. Bob Kane is much more common.
  13. I just bought my 1st piece of Original Joe Shuster artwork off of Comiclink.I will post it when it comes in or, heres a link to it on the site.
  14. The bat has work done to it too. shame
  15. Wow, There is Becharas Superman #1 BEFORE THE CRAYONS!!!!!!!!!
  16. Looks like chucks old room back in 1977
