This one might go on for a while… three collections here, not all of it worth bringing to you. If there’s some random copper thru modern filler you’re looking for, feel free to PM or call out the request in the thread and I’ll take a look-see. Plus there’s some goodies I have been saving for the right thread, and a couple re-runs at bargain “thank you boards” pricing. We’ll get started tonight; books from Golden to Modern will appear throughout.

This, because it will always have first-mover status, book that started it all position, within the hobby. (Not that G.A.tor needed the elaboration, but spelling it out for any newer casual, perusers)

Whitmans were also sold individually in the book section of some department stores at that time. But I don’t know whether a third-party distributor got them there, or whether they were shipped direct from Western Publishing. I do know an old-timer who worked there; he may or may not know.

Bronze age comics that are heating up on eBay...
Readcomix replied to PeterPark's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
If I were going to spec on Dr Druid, besides the Amazing Adventures #1, (which is silver and predates FF 1 by six months, so probably an undervalued early Marvel in and of itself already), I think the cheap bronze play is Hulk 210, where he is first introduced into Marvel continuity as Dr Druid. And with Black Knight and Sersi and Hercules already coming to the MCU, a version of that late 80’s Avengers line-up is at least possible. -
I’ve got a cover, but it’s attached to a whole book…less a centerfold
-
I don’t have a CMA 140 anymore but I remember the story. That’s got to be it.
-
Any chance you’ve got the centerfold to Cap 17 still laying around, Bob? That’s all I need to complete mine. And I may as well put it out there here too: I also need covers for All-Select 7, three center wraps for Planet 9, and a centerfold for Daredevil Comics 10. Anybody in boardieland able to help?

Mount Rushmore of Comic Book Artists, who you got?
Readcomix replied to eschnit's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Thank you; he was before my time but I dug into learning about him a bit after interviewing Sinnott and hearing him speak that way of his experience. I mean, if we did the same thing with inkers, Sinnott is pretty much a lock for that Washington bust, so it really struck me coming from him. -

@Funnybooks thanks for the info on Hogarth in response to OP; I was tied up. He also founded the School of Visual Arts; students included Al Williamson, Gil Kane and Joe Sinnott. I wish I could remember the other names Sinnott told me he attended with; the conversation was years ago but I recall he named an all-star team of comics artists. Frazetta and Wood also cited Hogarth’s influence. To hear Joe Sinnott speak reverently and enthusiastically of Hogarth and his experience learning under him was powerful. Here was a comics legend describing the inspiration he looked up to. The tone of voice and look on Joe’s face sticks with me. -

I’ll answer the same way I did last time we did this thread. (Based on importance to the medium): Kirby gets the Washington bust; the rest is just chit chat over beers. That said, we can have a lotta great chit chat, of course….Tough to narrow the rest to just three. Bodies of work and important fundamental contributions get a lot more comparable among the other greats as compared to Kirby’s influence. A couple odd ideas: Charles Biro may have pushed more envelopes than anyone else, and many an artist credited Burne Hogarth as as an influence. Just a couple different ideas for the mix. -
Avengers annual 10 was a fun read, especially if you’re an Iron Man fan.

Did Tim Holt #30 inspire the Zodiac Killer?
Readcomix replied to Sarg's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I never knew they were available there because I did know there was a there! I thought AC was long gone! I think that’s about what I paid, but it took me forever to find one turn up on ebay, MCS etc. I wonder if it’s old stock, or if they keep them in print, or even print on demand?
