  1. This is really interesting; thanks for sharing that! I'm surprised that's a pervasive take, but I guess I'm juat in the minority. I think it's fun to amass cool one-offs, and not always easy. RR#1 remains a grail for me, and I wouldn't mind Tough Kid Squad. Another that fits this bill, from the 50's, is Jughead's Folly, a wonderful book if you're an Archie fan.
  2. First I've seen a cover with an actual GA appearance of the Blue Diamond; thank you! (I met him as a kid in the bronze era, via the Liberty Legion!)
  3. Haven't parted with any true SA grails, but the biggest SA book I parted with that I would like back/miss is X-Men #4. Also, I traded a newer collector once for his Showcase #34 and he called me a week later and asked if I Would undo it. (Deal was fair, and he agreed on that. He got 8 books for it. In the original deal, Just missed his first key.) So I did. And it was good for both of us. He was generous in the trade-back; not a complete undo. I wound up acquiring some other good stuff from him since, and passing along some bargain prices on early SA Marvel under copies that he wanted. Good long-term move for both of us.
  4. Consumed by a skull to serving a head for consumption
  5. This is no Action 242, but it may well be one of the most underrated covers of its era
  6. Oh, I am and it's still days from arrival Thx again; will post it after I get it.
  7. She sure is...I just pulled the trigger on a copy...thx ComicJack for bringing it to my attention!
  8. AND #3 to #3...you're a gentleman .... Hmm, Gentleman Jack.... That has a nice ring to it....I need a rocks glass...
  9. I know, I just couldn't resist. Hard for me to see it as a "big" book .... Though in fairness, non-slabbed and slabbed less than 9.8 are a lot less....just kidding around making fun of the $100 copies....
  10. Whoops! Sorry Jack. Next person has two to pick from
  11. All-Winners bondage cover to All-Winners bondage cover
  12. Cult of the Clawmen to King Kull, Commie clawman
  13. Oops, looks like it's reprinted from three issues of Adventure Comics...it IS the cover!
  14. I believe it's her first solo story too, though the cover alone is enough to heat it up.
