Fantastic books! Congrats.

Great book! Looks much nicer than the grade.

Thanks. It's a really awesome book.

As far as grade, I believe CGC grades quite strictly, but I prefer it to other companies. In my opinion, it's better to own a 9.2 that looks like a 9.4 rather than the contrary.

Finally I got one.

My latest purchase. Bought it quite cheap

This is the only DD I have. I just started collecting a Year ago. I hope to buy more in the future.

I truly love the cover by Romita.

Hi Claudio, nice to hear from you.

I'll certainly post my pick ups. Some golden age comics are just very difficult to find, though.

Thank you very much to you all. I started to look at the list you guys have helped to build, and I already found some very interesting comics.

Thanks again for your kindness.

Is Better Publications another one?

Another one on the list Thank you

No problem. I wasn't sure it would actually be helpful to you but that's a fairly comprehensive list from which I have tried to cull out the marginal publishers to retain most of the significant ones. Given that I am not sure which direction you wanted to take, I kept the list as long as would be manageable.

 

What I would do as a start is to go to the GCD (comics.org) and do a search by publisher and then you'll see how many books each of these companies (and imprints etc.) put out so you can get a sense of their relevance and significance. What that will get you also is a complete list of the series they put out.

 

For example, if you were to look up, say A. A. Wyn, the first company listed you'd get that I shouldn't have had it on the list as it's an imprint for Ace Magazines they used for their , for example, the one-shot Four Teeners # 34 or a lot of their romance titles (Glamorous Romance, Real Love, ..). So, it's really Ace Magazines -

where here is the output for Ace -

This is where the fun begins. Have fun exploring their 668 comics.

 

That's exactly what I was looking for. I will search the publishers you listed on comics.org and write down some titles I may be interested. I'll have a lot of fun and hopefully I'll soon have some new comics to read. Thank you.

Here's a start -

What can I say? Thank you so so much. I'll check them all out. Thanks a lot for your help.

For years, the Overstreet price guide had a section that set forth, in chronological order, the history of early comic book publishing. It listed every publisher and when each began publishing. I don't know if the current edition still has that info, but you could get it from an older edition.

Thank you very much, I'll take a look at the Overstreet Guide. I have the one of last year, but it may contain some good information.

Hi everyone,

I would like to learn more about comics, so I thought to stop by and ask you if you could help me build a list of golden and silver age publishers. I'm especially interested in not so well know publishers that still made good quality comics.

( I know this is not the place to post about silver age, but I didn't want to create two new threads. )

If you can, please take a moment to help me. I would really appreciate it.

Enrico

What's the best Spidey story you've ever read, guys?

Is there a comic you would recommend? I just started collecting ASM, and I have some bucks to spend right now

love to see white covers that are actually white

 

yay for white covers!

 

 

Such a beauty! White covers are the best.

 

Cool copy (and it's nice to see a raw instead of a slab). Enjoy!

Thanks! I always unslab my comics actually. I like to read them, but I also want to have a good quality copy.

Spidey is expensive in High Grade, but it's totally worth it IMO.

Hi everyone,

I just started collecting Spidey, and this is the first ASM comic I bought. I wanted to share it with you.

I love the cover and the art in it.

The first page looks absolutely gorgeous

This panel made me laugh so hard

Spidey has become my favorite character with Daredevil. I hope to build a nice run soon
