  1. SOLD! Famous Funnies #126 VG/VG- (note upper left corner cover piece missing). Fun Jan. 1945 Happy New Year cover. Strips inside include Invisible Scarlet O'Neil, Buck Rogers, Napoleon, Dickie Dare etc. $20
  2. To clarify on Red Ryder, as photos make cover look detached -- it is hanging on at back cover at all three staples (yes, three staples is factory on this book.)
  3. The Books: I've been completing some read and release reading, and its time for release. Just over 50 books are identified for this thread, a mix of Gold (Act One, mostly re-runs at cut prices) and a mix of bronze and silver, including those late silver/early bronze years that can kinda blur together in the mind (Acts 2 & 3). Among the bronze/silver, there's a goodly batch of House of Mystery and other goodies for Wrightson lovers, a nice-presenting lower grade batch of Captain Marvel going back to #1, a DC war key, at least one romance book and some minor DC hero keys. We'll start with gold and get to the new bronze/silver offerings over the next few nights/days. I hope to be done before the holiday weekend is out. 1) Payment - Check or Money Order 2) First wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread 3) Shipping is USPS Priority ($8 to $15); Canada at actual 4) Don't be listy including the little one in my head 5) Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape, on your dime.
  4. Seems likely. Cover date of the Look magazine is Feb 27, 1940. For anyone pondering a take here, I spent a long time looking for my copy, and this is as nice as I've seen at a very reasonable price. Consider what it is -- an original Siegel/Shuster Superman story from early 1940 that involves Superman taking out Hitler and Stalin. In a sense, it's the first imaginary/What If style story, in that it answers the question of how Superman, if he existed in the real world, would address the war in Europe. I absolutely love this piece and think it's a still-underappreciated nugget.
  5. Nice detective work! So, these individual numbers are even MORE overpriced than I thought
  6. Just figured everyone would like to be aware of this "opportunity"
  7. I really wanted to see J'onn J'onzz beat him to a pulp rather than tell him to shut up, then just fly away.
  8. That's why I wasn't sure if they were appropriate for what you are shooting for with this thread's feng shui. No clue what would be top dog.
  9. Also, if it counts, Betty & Veronica #320 (1st Cheryl Blossom) has a Canadian price variant.
  10. Well, anybody who posts Woodgod has discerning taste! Harrrrumph!
  11. You, sir, have most discerning taste I thought @kav and I were the only two Woodgod fans in existence!
  12. Sweet! I have always liked that character, so I may be biased, but he's one of the least-used bronze Marvel creations, so I would think his day has got to come for someone to put him to more use. (Then again, I really liked Woodgod too, so don't stack too deep on my recommendation!)
  13. Ok, sorry I couldn't resist, but seriously now...my pick is Super-Villain Team-Up #5, the first appearance of the Shroud, a cool hero who hasn't seen much action outside that series but was at some point retconned into the history of the Moon Knight in one of the later Moon Knight series. Honorable mentions to MTIO 30 (2nd Spider-Woman), Marvel Spotlight 28&29 (1st solo Moon Knight tale), and Marvel Chillers #4-6 (2nd-4th solo Tigra stories).
  14. Of course there's that famous 35-cent Star Wars #1...if they ever make a movie out of that...oh, wait.....
  15. That FF storyline is some pretty good reading. You wouldn't know it from the cover, but #213 is an epic battle between Galactus and the Sphinx, earliest Marvel cosmic-level slugfest I can think of.
