A powerful intoxicant, that GA paper pulp! It's ill-advised to operate heavy machinery after inhaling that intoxicant!

Great book. There’s a partner book: The League of Regrettable Supervillains. Really!

Hope springs eternal. At least, until some other @&%! bidder gets in the way!

A lot of eye candy in those two AMFs! Rick: did collector "S" have a lot of books? If so, why not a ped?

Was eyeing that one closely. Big congrats!

Et le chien.

"Swooping down from the skies THE EAGLE rescues Diane"

Yay, a Mystery Men 6 party! Everyone's invited! (Thanks to Bob Storms for this here copy.)

I completely agree too. That copy looks like a nose job gone horribly wrong. But as some comic strip character said long ago, "we have met the enemy and he is us".

All very interesting history. Sounds like someone should write a book about the making of the Gerber books.

Well, when you put it that way, it makes perfect sense! I knew there was a smart boardie out there who could bring some enlightenment. Funny, for a relative novice like me, flipping through the Gerber books is paramount to a magical experience (ok, exaggerating a bit...), when in fact, magic had nothing to do with it: it was actual people who put in the hard work to accomplish this feat.

Thank you Good Sir!

That's a really good question, one that I'll bet some our veteran boardies could answer. Let's see if @bedrockcomics has anything to say about this! Just looking at the final six issues of Capt. Aero on GPA census, it is clear that in 2019, #26 is the most prevalent: #21 - 10 copies (Universal) #22 - 7 copies (Universal) #23 - 8 copies (Universal) #24 - 9 copies (Universal) #25 - 17 copies (Universal) #26 - 31 copies (Universal) The most likely reasons for a no-show, as you say, are either the book was super rare, or for whatever reason, not available at the time. Of course, the more rare, the less likely to be available, but I'm sure there could have been all sort of exceptions where it just wasn't possible to line up the owner, the book, and the photographer, even if the book was not particularly rare. I suppose in 1989, when the Gerber volumes were published, it might actually have been the case that #26 was harder to find (i.e., "rare") than the other issues, and only with the passage of time have more copies of #26 risen to the surface. Curiously, for at least some titles that these days are considered to be rare, there are no Gerber no-shows, such as the Centaur line of Amazing-Man, Amazing Mystery Funnies, Detective Picture Stories. There are strange forces at play!

Yeah, it stinks!

My first L.B. Cole cover. Added fun fact: a Gerber no-show.

Nice book! The "almost-a-Hitler" cover from the great Mystery Men Comics run.

Uhhh, hurmm, iggg, glxchts,..

Well those are handsome. That BB 2 faux Hitler cover o'yours is mighty fine.

You might want to see your GP about that. (but not your GPA!)

A great book from the run. Congrats! I always wonder with this issue whether her purple knees were intentional or a printer error...

Thank heavens for the rescue, ComicJack!

Welcome to the Club, my friend! You are in a hallowed circle of Fine boardies!! Went for a decent price...

That's so awesome!! I would've given you a run for your money but am content (for now...) with my humble copy.

Cool book! That dog needs a rabies vaccine stat!

Looks like our Blue Beetle is posing for a photo! So nonchalant, that Blue Beetle!
