This thread is now closed due to a PM sale of the 7 bagged Superman #75's. I may re-post the remainder of the thread as a lot at a lower price but I need to spend the day on non-comics things and will decide tonight. Thanks to all buyers and lookers! Cheers!

Not sure if we're counting U.K. comics, but pricewise the L. Miller Captain Marvels and Marvelmans are definitely under the radar.

Good point! Here's a couple examples. I'm sure there's cooler covers, but it's what I've got.

I have never read a "Boy"comic before , this is a powerful cover ! who or what is the little gizmo type guy flying around with the hero ? 

That's a monkey. I haven't read this issue yet (been crazy busy) but I have felt for a long time it's a greatly underrated cover among WWII covers.

Joe is one of the nicest human beings ever, period. I haven't seen him in a while, which is my fault for being a busy sandwich generation person, but I give him a quick call now and again. I interviewed him a couple times more years ago than I care to remember (as a newspaper reporter -- my first career, and for CBM) and he has treated me as a friend ever since. He was really appreciative of the career retrospective (thanks Pat Calhoun!)

One place you can usually catch Joe is the Albany, NY Comic Con. He lives barely an hour south of Albany, so it's his home team show. 

A couple fun facts: he illustrated Dell's Life of the Beatles one-shot, and it is the work he is most proud of. (If any of you Overstreet advisers can get that in there, it's his fond wish). He is a huge Bing Crosby fan and hosted for years a weekly Bing show on local radio. For all his exceptional teamwork with Jack Kirby, they only met in person three times! Joe told me the only thing he ever fixed in Kirby's work was ears. He said ears were the one thing Kirby could not draw.

When we did the CBM retrospective, in the late 90's, Stan Lee was in California, beginning Marvel's first movie negotiation efforts. (Remember when Marvel movies were rumors of possibility for the longest time?) Given Lee's focus on the project, I recall everyone doubting that I would ever get him on the phone, including his receptionist in California when she answered the phone. I asked her nicely to let him know that it would be for a career retrospective on Joe Sinnott, and she came back on sounding shocked that he agreed. 

I thanked Stan profusely when we got on the phone, and he cheerily said that when he heard it was for Joe, there was no way he would be kept from making time for it. Joe was just too important to him and to Marvel.

This needs Namor too.

never saw the Dale Evans before......didn't even know it was a DC comic... pretty cool though !!

Early 50's DC...all Alex Toth...mostly Dell published her, but DC had her for a while.

Freebie added! What better freebie for a mostly Barry Windsor-Smith lot than a Freebooters freebie? Freebooters/Young Gods/Paradoxman preview pictured below is now added as a freebie when you buy this lot.

PM's encouraged 

 Freebie added! Buy this thread and receive Superman Speeding Bullets graphic novel pictured, not the most common one out there.

PM's encouraged! 

Holy ! Rodents are consistent! I've got a Wonder Woman 5 chewed the same way, albeit with a bit more of the spine margin eaten. Never thought I'd see it twice. Your book looks awesome; GLWTS!

Hi all, as I have just completed my Batman #1 (minus the BC), I am looking toward my next endeavor which would be slowly completing one of either an Action Comics #1, TEC #27 or a Cap #1. As I am not rich I generally buy the cover and then a coverless copy as it makes buying these big books somewhat affordable. Thus, I thought it would be best to do some preliminary research first, before diving into the deep end once again. My first question would be are there many cover wraps of front covers, or even partial front covers floating around anymore? I remember seeing an Action Comics #1 partial front cover up for auction back in 2012 from memory and it sold for over 6k back then. I wonder if there are many of them now out there and if so, what they would sell for. Comic books have come a long way since then. My next question would be, how much would these kind of covers go for nowadays? I paid 3k for my Bat #1 FC at CC in December of 2014 which felt like a lot then but seems very cheap by today's prices. I know I have asked similar questions in the past but it is a fast moving market and the prices from a year or so ago no longer hold valid as the comic market now moves so fast, those prices quickly become outdated. I am sure other people are wondering about these kind of things so feel free to chime in and ask about covers to other big books as I think it would be interesting to see peoples thoughts or stories. Also, if anyone has any of those covers, feel free to let me know  

You may wanna check out the "I wanna get married" thread....its Tinder for comic book parts guys.

Not in the best shape, but I picked it up recently.

Since I've only seen the covers so far, the only noteworthy thing is that the 3 standard covers, including the h\Hall of Fame version, are just absolutely ugly this year. 

So horrid, in fact, that it actually made the Liefeld Deadpool Hero Initiative Limited Edition cover look good by comparison. 

Now THAT's some top-notch hyperbole right there!

List of brides looking for covers growing...help anyone?

Are there any dealers out there that specialize in parts and pieces?

Maybe PM Zzutak; he does. He helped me out with the pin-up centerfold from Capt Marvel 13, so often missing.
