Thanks a lot! Now if I could just find that Cap'n Flight #9....

Thankfully, I only have the 1 cat. He did remain good long enough for me to take that pic. But he would never do that. After all... his name is Kirby!

I usually keep my posts in the LB Cole thread, but completing a 12-issue run from the 1940's deserves a cigar I think: And while I'm at it, tracking these 2 down took forever so I'll throw this in here as well.

Don't I know it! And here's the whole set! I never thought I could complete a 12-issue run from the 1940's, but here it is: Maybe I'll upgrade the #3 and #10 someday a bit. I'm just happy to own a #12, so that one I'm ok with. I've already upgraded the #8 and still have my undercopy. Of course knowing me I'll still rather aim to complete runs first, and I've started so many. For example I recently finished this 2 issue run, of which I posted the covers individually in this thread over time but this is the first time they got together: BTW - Nice pickups guys! That Suspense #8 is amazing. I just lost out on a #4 over the weekend. I'll get one eventually....

I totally love this cover! I've always love that Atomic logo, and I'm baffeled by WTF that machine is doing! Awesome pickup!

Thanks a lot guys! I was beginning to think I'd never spot another copy of this one. I think it's one of the - if not THE - toughest book in the run to find. I'll be sure to snap a pic of them all when it arrives, assuming I can keep my cat away from them all when I do it.

I usually don't go for GD copies of my LB Cole books, but I made an exception here. With this copy of CONTACT COMICS #5 I now have the complete run. I'll stay on the lookout for a better copy, but until then this will have to do. I looked on Heritage's archives and the best copy they've ever sold is a FN and that was only 1 of 2 copies ever (both ungraded). I'll take a pic of the whole set together once it arrives, but until then here it is:

The only book I got a Boston Supermegafest, True To Life Romances #20 for $30: But I also got a sig from Stan Lee, so I got that goin' for me!

Just pulled the trigger on 2 LB Cole covers that I'd been looking at for a bit. This one, Intimate Secrets Of Romance #2 doesn't come up often and this copy had been on ebay for a while. I don't like the crease, but now I'll own the 2-issue run and I'll keep an eye out for a better copy. In an effort to complete my Top Love run, I had to have this one. Seller says it's only a 2.0, but looks 10x better than that. For $20 and free shipping I'll take a chance. Here's my new Top Love Stories #12:

Mostly, yes. I've finished ASM, DD, and a ton of other shorter Marvel runs. I have every FF, Avengers, and X-men story, like in issue or Essential and all of those go very low. But in general I like having every issue of something, whatever it is. That's why I've got over 20,000 comics up in a room!

I get what I like. I get a bunch of the Spidey ones and the other random ones that I like if I can find them cheap. My LCS sells them pretty cheap so it's not that big of a deal.

Nice! I have always wanted to read mine. Thanks! I got it for what I think is a steal on ebay years ago. I got inspired just now, so I went and took a fresh pic next to my Surtur Bowen MB.

Couldn't help it. Had to have it. Just bought it. Read the back cover:

I know this is a poo pic, but it's from my old cel, but here's my Terrifying Tales #13:

Fantastic books! Mike, it's always a pleasure to see your LB Cole books - AND to buy them! I just picked up this from the PO today: Thank you Sparkle City!

Since I got the TTL Romances #9 book earlier this week I decided to put an offer in on this other TTL Romances #9 and got it. So en rte is this one. I don't care for the store stamp, but it's faded and the book is sharp besides that, plus nice copies don't come up often. Oh, and here's an updated display pic:

Here's another that's proudly on display at my house: And just because, I also picked up these 2 because they had LB Cole covers:

Great copy! If I could just get my grubby little paws on a copy of #5 I'll have the run completed. Just secured these 2 last night off the CGC boards. Now I just need the 9 & 15 for this run: All-Famous Police Cases # 7 VG/FN 5.0 All-Famous Police Cases # 12 VG+ 4.5

Thanks! From what I can recall, Cole only did 2 other mainly purple colored covers. Top Love Stories 4 & 7 have purple background at the top, then there's: Popular Teen-Agers 15: Top Love Stories #5: Personally I think the Romance ones are some of LB's best!

Just got this one from Sparkle City over the weekend. Not the best romance cover, but I do love the purple:

HA! Funny. I dig it! Cimm - Yeah, that one doesn't come up very often and usually not in very nice shape. I was happy to score one a few months ago. Actually I've gotta put up a few new ones I think. I've been slacking in this thread over the last few weeks...

Congrats P-Cat! I grabbed that one earlier this year. These books are addictive, you've been warned!

Nice one! Love those LB Cole rocket spaceships!

Thanks! Those are courtesy of DrBanner and Point Five!

Here's a quick update on a few of my recent LB Cole purchases! Now I'm 1 issue away from completing not only my Contact Comics run, but 1 Cole cover from completing his run on these 2 titles: CAPTAIN FLIGHT #7: POWER COMICS #4:
