"Uranium is heavier than iron." No wonder people don't understand the difference between weight or mass and density. They're taught wrong from the beginning. (Pet peeve.)

here's a fun little book

"My heart...my heart!"...

Thanks...there's only 1 on copy on the census so I guess they're pretty hard to come by...

Picked this up today...from 1937...and white pages to boot...

Here's my take for the week...

 

Space Action #2

 

Silicon monsters -- WOO HOO!

 

Do they do any good Si tricks in the story?

 

Looks like a tough book to find -- rats!

 

Jack

The stories are pretty wild with Furry space monsters and space giants all over the place...

Well, for sure that's not Kane's work

I figured as much...I'm just wondering why they credit Kane with the cover...I thought that he perhaps did the preliminarys for it or something???...

Damn stoners playin' with your head...

My new pre hero Adventure

 

Thanks to Swapto!!

 

 

One of my favorite covers of the run. Beautiful colors and great eye appeal on that copy!

 

Ken

Who is the cover by???...the label says Bob Kane on one side and Craig Flessel on the other???...

Here's my take for the week...

 

Space Action #2

 

 

 

Now, looking at the cover, is the spaceman upset because he shot the girl? I mean.....his space gun was recently fired and the creature seems to be just fine...

 

 

I'm not sure if that's a spaceman at all, what with those dainty fingers on the gun and the lipstick.

Maybe he's an extra-terrestrial metro-sexual ...

Here's my take for the week...

It's open for interpretation...

Space Action #2

Love those Jumbo covers BP...especially the #10...are those Fine covers???.. (thumbs u

I don't want to steal Sharon's thunder, but while we are on ACTION's ...

 

I just got this in the mail today... ACTION 14. It was an ebay purchase from a non-dealer, so I took a chance, and am very happy with the book. Its VERY solid (both staples attached, CF firm), nice corners, very decent paper (would probably get a cream-to-off white from CGC if submitted, but it fits my standards!). I would be curious to see what it would get from CGC ... i would peg it at a 3.5, and I can't find any resto work on it. Pressed out it would be real nice.

 

My first ACTION!! And the main reason I didn't buy anything at the Cali Con yesterday...

 

Guardineer cover!

 

 

SUP Siegel and Shuster, Bob Kane, B. Bailey, plus two Guardineer stories!

 

Damn fine book...I was eying that on eBay as well...Nice Action to start with... (thumbs u

And this ain't too shabby either Bill... Congrats...

(Love the Whiz, Bill (thumbs u )

 

California one-day Comic Con out in Yorba Linda today, hosted by Terry's Comics.

 

Great to see many friends and fellow collectors there, including RareHighGrade, Socratic Wonder, and RyanH.

 

The room contained a surprising number of sexy GA books, and I was fortunate to obtain a few:

 

 

Nice books... (thumbs u ...but I'm kinda partial to the Blue Beetle #4...

That "Stars and Stripes" is just tooooo cooool... (thumbs u

Here are a couple of goodies I just got in today...

Got this in today...always liked the cover with the dead engineer and the sign in the railcar that says "Eat more Yeast!" ...and plus lotsa Biro goodness...

Impulse buy!

 

I just love this cover!

 

Set my snipe way too low on that one!!!... ...you gotsa nice book there... (thumbs u

Cool books as usual Bill... ...and Bronzilla...I always liked the Guardian as well..I remember reading the stories in the back of "Jimmy Olsen"...

I picked up this Detective today and was thrilled to find that there is a "Boy Commandos" by Simon & Kirby story in it....

Looks like those guys are in trouble.

I have a feeling the girl is toast as well...

Thanks for the comments guys...

Holy Moly!!!....nice freakin' WonderWorlds!!!...

Here are a couple that came in for me today...

L.B. Cole....'nuff said...

An upgrade...

(thumbs u

Love the ERB pulps...what year are those from???...

BTW...did you guys see this pulp on eBay?... I put in a low bid and was a little suprised at the end price...although it is a cool Paul cover and is probably rather scarce...

Enough of these HG shenanigans! This book doesn't fit the bill, and has a minor spine roll with requisite wear, but it is tough book and has no chipping. Low-grade collectors untie!

 

Shades of "CloverField"...

...and I'm already untied...
