    It has been a decades-long goal of mine to complete the run of New Adventure Comics, which most seasoned collectors agree is the most challenging series of DC books.  This 20-book run includes numerous classic covers by my favorite Golden Age artist, Creig Flessel, as well as interior work by the likes of Siegel and Shuster, Leo O’Mealia, Fred Guardineer and Bob Kane (before Batman).

    My quest started in the 1990’s, when I ran monthly want ads in the Comic Book Marketplace magazine offering to purchase any of these books.  How many responses did I get?  Not even one!  So I had to do it the hard way – picking up, at most, a copy or two a year from dealers, fellow collectors or auctions.  Although I was able to complete most of the run after a couple of decades of effort, one issue continued to elude me.  Until now.  

    Having finally completed the set, I plan to post the books in sequential order in this thread.

    I'm late to the party but I'll add my cheers to this accomplishment. Completing just about any GA run is tough but this is an order of magnitude more difficult than most! Congratulations! :yeehaw:
