Greggy - would LOVE to play poker with ya sometime!

As do you Pen Wielder! As do you.

You're STILL talking about that down there?? You're all going to get The Cancer, what with your blowing smoke like that! I would not qualify that with an answer but have to answer " " so maybe I STILL haven't qualified that with an answer.

me in my Supergirl outfit!...it will be tasteful ANd I was talking about rifts, schisms and dichotmies in the CGC Label thread?? OMG!!!!!!!!

Smirk all you want, Gregorian Chanter! It takes a class act like Joanna to make something interesting out of YOU! Bwahhahahaahhaaaaa! and the classic Gregsteranian

I have to say - "Mylite" is one of the funniest characters I in this epic!

The Lurkers are experiencing strange and incredibly painful transformations...."Man, this transformation is strange!" says Fokker..."And incredibly painful!" adds otis. Right from the get-go! Classic Joanna! Yeeehaaaaaa! (and may I add SWEET!)

Batman #1 is ALL NEW - compared to the 99% reprints in the Superman #1...Batman #1 introduces the Joker...Batman #1 introduces Catwoman....Plus it's got that cool story of Batman firing a machine-gun from the Batplane. Excellent points, Zilla! I have always considered Superman 1 to be a "country cousin" due to the reprint nature (except for adding the missing story pages). Batman #1 was a real #1 issue, not just in name.

One of my more recent ebay acquisitions. Its pahty time! [/img]

Well, I, for one, am glad to see my favorite genre of books (1930-1955) all in the same room. I confess to being here by concession. I really don't like segregating GA from the other genres for our prides and joys. More exposure to the now non-collector means more future collectors...err...in the future (pardon the Ed Woodism). So I have decided to post in both places. ::hmmmm....maybe this segrationism is a ploy to AVOID new collectors, thereby reducing demand and keeping prices lower. Hmmmmmmmm....

Nice pulp - check out these! A few pulps on this board

That is a cool Daredevil. Love the "AT LAST" bit. Have you read the book before?

That SA1 has a real pulp feel to it. I wonder if the expression "You're toast!" came from that?

Actually, I did - and you were right! The texture was wonderful and the experience overall was great! I have stopped buying my fave DeCecco patsa and am saving a BUNDLE in Chinatown!

I confess to having thought about this myself for many years. The nly conclusion I can come up with is that Batman is, overall, a more intriquing character than Superman. But, historically speaking, the early Superman books are more important due to Superman's "first tier" place in comic book history. After a while, when the playing field has been levelled, so to speak, Superman and Batman are basically in the same weight class. And I think Stan Lee hit it on the head in regards to this. Batman overall is more appealing because he is a troubled HUMAN. Superman, on the other hand, is basically an alien who has had it pretty good. Superman had a wonderful upbringing. Batman has his personal hell. There is an appeal there that, once the time frame of publication evens things out, makes Batman a character more easily related understood. But I collect pre-code horror? What the Hades do *I* know?

Bruce is one of the few exceptions. OK - on a serious note - have had a few PM encounters with Bruce and he has gone out of his way to shoot me some info etc. that benefited him not a bit, but he thought I would appreciate. To quote Edward G. Robinson in BROTHER ORCHARD, "This is the REAL class!"

As I am not mentioned I shall do my best ::sob:: to ignore ::weep:: this thread ::moan::.

Try The Marketplace. Or if you have to, make a GA Marketplace (not sure how that would fly - Marketplace is designed for selling with a built-in expiration date.)

Man this is one hot cover! I wonder if that is an artist's interpretation of someone suffering radiation poisoning? ::ducking:: Seriously - I am loving these Biro covers!

You may have something there! Yogsothoth, my friend. Yogsothoth!

It is actually an oil fire! PS - I will not post answer here as that is the spoiler to the story. But if you really want to know will PM you.

Geez pov...never mind the guys thumbs...look at his nose.... ...perhaps there is some correlation between the two.... Oh...and very nice book btw.... - looks like a plug-ugly nose to me! But seriously - why are the thumbs cut off like that? I honestly don't expect an answer unless Ditko himself peruses thee boards! And he can answer the nose thang too!

OK - I initially was against a GA area for Cigar but am willing to try. I assume you all think this is a GA? Early Steve Ditko cover And the cover story is a Shuster!!!!!! PS - I STILL want to know what is up with those thumbs! Oh yeah - this was the last pre-code for this title.

You did it right! Man that is a sweetie! Looks really tight!

Show off!!!!!!! Seriously, a beautiful and impressivley broad selection! I love seeing mixes like this.
