Nice pickup ! Presents very well and great centering ! -bc

I think that Amaz Adult Fantasy 7 should be in the pic. The title and focus of the magazine was different and they only continued the numbering in order to not have to pay for a new mailing permit from the post office. And there is no World of Fantasy issue represented -bc I think that Amaz Adult Fantasy 7 should be in the pic.

(The Strange Worlds 1 is raw....and being my collection is a mess....I can't find it right now. ) [/img] Well played and just amazing pic !!! Thank you very much for sharing ! -bc

Every time I see this shot I'm reminded that you need to get that Strange Worlds #1 graded so it fits in with the others! Or - he could free the other 5 Nice group shot of all the first issues! -bc

My second pedigree PHM is a JIM snagged from the recent CLink auction: -bc

Nice ! Cool perspective on the cover - I like the image of the city & lightning thru the sky light. Only see 8 total in the CGC census - good pickup! -bc

Fantastic collection mm ! Thanks for sharing ! -bc

So the western/PHM cross-over list has these so far: Two Gun Kid 58 Rawhide Kid 22 Kid Colt Outlaw 100, 107 Do you know of any others? Thanks for any info! -bc

Since I'm addicted to this genre, a slow steady drip will suffice... I recently discovered the some of the learly 60's Atlas/Marvel westerns also had a PHM-theme. Do you have an easy to access list for the OCD crowd? Thanks! -bc

Welcome to the Thread/Boards! Get that scanner fired up and lets see some group shots of those runs ! -bc

Love all the Namora covers! Couple of Timely's I snagged from CLink this week. Bought this as much for the back cover as the front cover. This was too hard to pass up at at 1/2 guide: -bc

I managed to snag one of the 12 PHM Strange Tales I was watching in last nights CLink auction: The ST75 & 96 went for a pretty penny at $2,300 & $2,100 respectively. -bc

Found this one hiding at the Lake Effect Comic Con in Mentor, Ohio yesterday: The show was actually very comic book focused and the best part was it had free admisssion! Thanks to 1Cool for the heads up about the show! -bc

Variant is +4 right now. -bc

Speaking of TTA, added another to the vault: -bc

Not in high grade they're not! I'll second that emotion! -bc

A sweet PHM strategically decorated by Stan's signature: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-ADULT-FANTASY-7-CGC-9-2-SS-STAN-LEE-SINGLE-HIGHEST-SS-COPY-1278791002-/311334669998?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item487cfe0eae -bc

Cool pickups! You’re building a nice PHM collection for just jumping in 11 pages/1 month ago! -bc

Very Nice copy of the first issue that finally started to respect our mature readers' intelligence! Always liked the use of the grey scale on the crowd except for the kid and just showing the back of the monster. All that and the "Stan Lee + S. Ditko" on the cover make this one of my favorites! -bc PS - Is that a Peter Parker cameo on the cover all the way to the right or just a stock Ditko figure?

She' is one VERY gorgeous book! (I feel like I'm cheating because I typically solicit the Pre-Hero Marvels thread). -bc

Not sure if others have seen this, but I found it interesting: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ditkomania/conversations/topics/3314 It also got me looking into the Post-PHM legacy on the GCD: "I'm struck by the fact that TOS #54 (June 1964) was special for a reason previously unknown to me -- it carried the last Marvel (non-series) fantasy 5-pager of the early 1960s: "Skrang Strikes Tonight!" by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber & Ayers. The final non-series 5-pagers in the other anthologies came earlier: Strange Tales #113 (Oct. 1963; which had two fantasy back-ups including one by Lee & Ditko), Tales to Astonish #54 (April 1964) and Journey into Mystery #104 (May 1964). The end of an era!" So TOS54 appears to be the end of the line if you extend "PHM" and exclude the Tales of the Watcher/Wasp/Asgard stories. Sorry if I'm re-hashing something discussed pages ago, lost track of all the rabbit holes this single thread has taken me in this hobby! -bc

My copies are rags to your riches Ditto. I think if you added the grades for my RK #22 and TGK #107 together you might get close to a 7.5. Great books that definitely belong in this thread! These books are totally amazing to me - never realized that there was a PHM-Western cross-over connection! Thanks for the continuing education credits! -bc

Cool books Frisco ! I like your taste. It seems like I see more of the Pricing Variant on the 76 than the regular edition. The census does not distinguish between the two so it's difficult to say. I feel like I see more of the variant too. Since it is on the label CGC ought to be able to add a slot for the variant in the pre-hero JIM set. I think it's time to make a request... I did request a separate slot in the registry for the pricing variant, and Gemma came through! She said it would take about a week for the registry to update with the splitting of #76 into variant and non-variant, and then she can add the slot. So now we will get to see the ratio in the books that are graded. Thank you very much ! -bc

Thanks Jim! Amazing Adventures 3 & 4 continue to be elusive in high-grade for me. Here's the set in progress: -bc
