  1. I just traded for a copy recently, for those very reasons! Under appreciated cool book for sure. It's also the first appearance of Victoria Bentley, a Dr Strange supporting cast member who is overdue for a recycling.
  2. I didn't go through all 227 pages of this thread, so apologies if this has been raised, but I cannot help but think Detective #395 is the sleeper here. Of course, it currently doesn't hold a candle to Tec 400 or 411 or Bats 227, 232, 234, but it is the first Adams/O'Neil Batman story, and a ras al ghul prototype, to boot. I know it lacks the iconic cover of a GL 76, but it's the comparable Bat book in all other ways.
  3. Hello everyone, long-time collector (49 now; started off the racks at the 5) but new to the boards. Been reading for a few weeks, ever since the guys at Comic Book Daily turned me on to these boards. Grew up on bronze books as they hit the stands; 90's killed new books for me, stuck mostly to back issues. Today, I'm focused on making my collection smaller and better while still keeping it diverse and interesting. For me, of late, that has meant Golden Age and Silver Age of all stripes, and a few bronze keys and oddities. I've been enjoying buying small collections of late, pulling what I want to add to my permanent collection, and spinning the rest back out in trade or for cash to put back into the collection. That's the nutshell; more details to come when I am rested enough to release my origin issue over the origin story thread!
