  1. I like both Showcase 4 and GL 76 for the reasons you mention. Some people tag Conan 1 for the harbinger of bronze, but that follows GL 76 by a few months. No doubt Bronze started in that stretch in 1970.

  3. Ha! You answered as I was typing! As you said, a few pre-hero books, but not all. I wish they would've gone back to at least 1957-ish.
  4. Some, but not all. For instance, Kid Colt starts at 103, Tales of Suspense issue 19, Tales to Astonish issue 21, JIM I think starts at 69 or 70. Amazing Adventures is complete from 1 thru 14 and of course AF 15. There is no Atlas stuff.

  6. Some recent pick-ups. I have played some of the same games since I was a kid with the earlier Overstreets of picking my favorites from each row or group of artifacts. Which book would you take from each row?
  7. And my two favorite romance pulps, each with a very different artistic style:
