    OK gang, I think that is all I have for this thread. I will leave it open for a bit as I prepare for that Mixed thread (lots of those copper age reprints of GA, and a LOT of EC reprints; Cochran, Gladstone, even some of the 1973 reprints, etc) as I may stumble across a few more books that would be appropriate here in the process. Thanks all!

    The Books: A handful of Golden Age that I'm surprised got passed over in past threads. Maybe they were just not noticed? At any rate, we'll give 'em a quick spotlight before I steel my resolve and deploy the oddball 30% of that recent collection I bought in a herculean effort to bring sexy back to Mixed! (More on that in the General Announcement thread soon as I get closer to having it organized.) First wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread. Payment: Check or Money Order. Shipping: USPS Priority (Legal Flat Rate at $8 or Medium Box at $15 if we cannot fit in Legal.) Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime.

    Gotta go with superhuman strength. We're talking anywhere from just a smidge, like the Beast, on up to Superman.

    I completely forgot....Showcase 100! It's such a fun read; every character who was featured in the run to that point appears and works together to stave off some global crisis. Of course, it's built around the big guns of the run -- Flash, GL, Lois Lane, Adam Strange, the Atom, Aquaman, the Challs -- but everybody does their part. Plus it's a great cover.

    I don't exactly know when they were drawn, Kav. I recall it was soon after Kirby had passed that we were talking. Joe pulled them out of a drawer in his studio and made that remark about them. He did say he had them for a while as he wrestled with with whether to ink them. He did not say they were done just before his death by any means, just that he thought they might have been the last things he had done. The sense I got was that they had been sitting untouched with Joe for a while.

    I had been to Joe Sinnott's house a couple times to interview him, in the 90's. One of the nicest people you could ever meet. He loves sports, particularly baseball, and the music of Bing Crosby as much as comics. One of the interviews was just after Jack Kirby's death, so naturally we discussed their work together. Joe then showed me what he thought might have been the last things Kirby drew -- cover recreations of Avengers 4 and FF 49. They were with Joe to be inked, but he said he couldn't bring himself to ink what might be the last examples of Kirby's raw pencils. I remember him pointing closely to some of the pencil lines, pointing out their fractal quality. Joe saw a shakiness in those uneven lines and took it as a sign of Kirby's failing health at the time that they were drawn. The conversation was all over the place; how much he loved drawing Life of the Beatles for Dell, his enjoyment doing the 50's genre work that he did, especially westerns; how much work went into drawing or inking The Thing; his recollections of studying under Burne Hogarth; how Kirby couldn't draw ears and he would always have to fix them...it was always a rambling, fun visit.

    And I think the first DC Thor is Boy Commados 7 (1944)
