Oh, I know. I wasn't even aware of Okajimas until probably 3 years ago or so. I figure it never hurts to ask...someone might have one they would let go for cheap, or at least reasonably priced. I have tried to get one example from every pedigree for a video series I am doing. Videos are posted on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/@ComicBookVeteran Always open to new information on any of the pedigrees. I need to do more and get them posted. PDG

Anyone got a spare book from this pedigree they can let go for cheap?? I need one for my video series!! PDG

I missed this until now. He and I had messaged about meeting up sometime. He lived only about 45 minutes from me. That was definitely a missed opportunity on my part. PDG

That is absolutely bonkers!!! PDG

I have to admit to being guilty of overpaying for old books that are torn and ratty just to save them from being thrown away. Age doesn't matter to me, but I do love the GA and SA stuff. PDG

Still better than my copy.... PDG

Thank you!! I think I found your channel as well! Always glad to support others in the community! PDG

Very cool book! Thanks for sharing! PDG

Thanks for visiting this thread. I don't think I have posted much in the Silver Age threads, but I am doing a video series about the Pedigree comics - I intend to have more videos about other books as well. A HUGE part of my collection is Silver Age, so I will get there eventually. Anyway, I am focusing on the history of comics and the pedigrees are the starting point. I welcome views and subscribers of course. I am first and foremost a collector - I am not looking to sell anything, but if that comes up later - then great! My videos are really to build a knowledge base about the books. I am not doing a hot 10 or top 10 or anything of that nature - so mine is a bit of a niche within the comic book collecting community. If I am wrong about something or if you know something that I don't - please share it!! I posted my latest video about the Curator Collection a couple of days ago. Let me know what you think and how I can make it all better! This particular one is Episode 12 - check out the others while you are there!! Thank you for your time! PDG

Just put up my latest video a day or two ago - about the Curator Pedigree. If you know something that I don't talk about in the video - please let me know - this is about learning and sharing knowledge and creating a . Thank you! PDG

Is there someone here that has a copy of the original list? I would like to check a book from the Larson set. Thank you!! PDG

I think @Professor K was spot on. Comics were the original medium for the superhero genre, but kind of a "side item" for the cartoons. At the same time I managed to acquire a few of the Dell file copies of early Bugs Bunny comics recently. I didn't buy them for investment or anything, but to preserve the history and heritage of them. But otherwise I thought they were neat books! PDG

This is my first time reading this thread and I love it! This is exploring the history of these books and I love to learn about these. PDG

I guess I have taken the classic view: 1938-1956 (AC1-SC4) Possible sub-category of PCH and/or Atomic Age 1956-1970 (SC4-GA76) 1971-1985 (GA76-DK1) The case could certainly be made for an "Atomic Age" during the early 50s. And I really look at anything between 1956 (SC4) up through around 1964 as being transitional between the GA (or Atomic Age) and the Silver age. They have a writing/art style difference that I think we all agree on, and those are the turning points in my mind. The appearance of caped super-heroes (Phantom anyone??) would certainly be a change point or the implementation of the CCA would certainly trigger some changes as an example. PDG

Fascinating story - I hadn't read this thread until now. Thanks for reviving this! PDG
