  1. Excellent cover and a great find! Please take me with you on your next flea market excursion... Gotta get up REAL early and keep up with me! Finds like this are few and far between though... I love it! Really beating the bushes.
  2. that one's been on my want list a couple of years Robot Man
  3. Exciting add. 37th superman appearance something like that?
  4. Cover only, not even a back. Question for experts, would back cover had been same on this issue as different titles from same publisher, say printed on same month? Friends, Collectors, Aficionados, lend me your spare parts...
  5. Recent pick up. Biro covers, sometimes they're too far out there for me, sometimes there kind of interesting like this doppelganger of Mikey and the three main ratzis.
  6. Kudo's page, thanks in advance
  7. Ok history buffs. How about the "Women War Workers" logo? Torch at bottom right. One of my fav covers by the way. I did some research on it. As it turns out, this was an official logo created for the express purpose of a “Women at Work Cover Promotion.” The Magazine War Guide (part of the U.S. Office of War Information) recommended all magazines participate with their September 1943 publications. The slogan for this campaign was “The More Women at Work the Sooner We Win.” Norman Rockwell got behind the effort, painting “Liberty Girl’ for the Saturday Evening Post. I was able to find a number of participating magazines. In regard to comics, this appears to be the only one published with the promotion. Happy if someone here can find another?
  8. Recent purchase, overpaid but really like it.
  9. Good to know its possible! I've found one ragged copy in about four years.
  10. Were in the world did you find the #15? Is that a recent pickup?
  11. I don't even collect this type of book but want one because how can you not love this cover? Ditto
  12. Here is a great one. Cap and Bucky show folks how to recycle all that worthless paper... They seemed careful to actually not use the world "comic book."
  13. Great book hard to find but conserved with cover clean married back cover and centerfold pieces added tear seal ? I'm sorry Hey thats great i was just saying. I would love to have that book and go fishing for G.A.tor. This was a project I have been working on for almost 2 years. I found the various pieces to this book form different places all over the country and had Kenny breathe life in to it. Its complete, and putting it together was one of the most satisfying adventures I've had in this hobby. I'd be happy to show you the before and after pictures if you are interested - it was really amazing work done to this book. Yes, before and after pics! Great adventure putting a book together like that - it is is an easter egg hunt. I sent the book below in for conservation; cleaning, some spine reinforcement and maybe cleaning staples (waiting for results - it's a cgc for slabbing now - will post updated image when in hand). Anyway, the Cap #27 in my sig line is being restored (married pieces etc.)
  14. Apologies if Front Page Peggy has already been posted here. If not, enjoy:
  15. This book was also the continued numbering replacement from Sub-Mariner Comics, another representation of a shift in eras.
  16. Holy cow - first I've ever heard/seen it. Now I want one too Target Comics Vol. 01 (1940) #8 that is...
  17. I'm getting down to the "hidden" motorcycle covers now: Good ole Syd Shores
  18. Thanks, here is another "super" Cole cover I picked up recently:
