1950's war comics

it's still cheaper than strip clubs maybe

LOW GRADE GOODNESS

When i was a kid our family saved S & H green stamps and my parents saved up a bunch of books a bought me a sweet rubber ball just like the schools had ... i loved that ball

i remember those and we used to kid the people that collected them that if they smoked and saved enough "cigarette miles" they could get a gold plated casket

might want to check again as CGC comics also runs NGC coins and they run the message boards under the same umbrella

Wow !! my allowance was 35 cents a week but it could buy a 20 cent comic, a 10 cent pack of baseball cards and a five cent candy bar ....

1. Keys 2. Semi-Keys 3. Minor-Keys

yep , the word "key" is very important to the hobby , most hobbies included, in the coin collecting community for example ,.. with the Lincoln cent there are keys - 1909 SVDB, 1914 D, 1955 DD, 1931 S 1924 D ect... there are semi-keys 1913 S 1926 S 1922 D 1915 S ect.. and there are minor keys 1933 D 1955 S 1931 D 1917 S ect.....

another Strange Adventures key;;

DC's Strange Adventures is a great example of a series that has plenty of great keys that are not first appearances ... here is another example of a key from the run....

Looks great in the CGC slab

It is a great cover ! and i checked eBay - you can get one for $35 or so, maybe cheaper .. i bet @tv horror has this issue in his collection already !! (not graded of course )

1962 Castle of Frankenstein , highest graded of 28 on the CGC census

and a mention of STYX on the cover to boot !

yep .. and the first appearance of the "thug who shot Uncle Ben" has been a famous book aver since !

this ridiculous panel has been posted many times .. but for those who missed it , here it is again

other than the drawn eyeballs ... this is one of co ic books most famous panels

ASM 101 first Morbius now is

Funny reproduction cover to cheer you up

and hopefully you have a comic con or show or two to go to every year ....

Me too ... by then i was watching reruns of the Munsters ...

yeah that is really bad... Dr Strange looks like "Tin" from the Metal Men ....
