I've owned only a few resto books....and each time it bothers me less and less.This book is FABULOUS out of the slab. I am DEFINITELY looking for more.There was an 8.0 Superman 7 in the same auction with White pages and a cover cleaning....It went for $ 675 ....go figure ....I didn't notice it until after the auction closed.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

I'll take the Slam Bang! (that doesn't sound so good) Hind sight is better than fore sight GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I like the Smash ( Lou Fine ),but Chris Foss would like the Slam Bang....he collects underwater covers.

If you like Batman....those GA issues have a LOT of Batman.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Here's a few more inside pages.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

My Clink win arrived today....Batman 15 CGC SP 7.5 WHITE PAGES....and it's already out of the slab.The only work was a cover cleaning....first time I've had one like this...no chemical oder, plenty of gloss, and still has the old comic smell. I would definitely go for another with nothing but a cover cleaning.It's got 2 Robinson/Roussos, 1 Burnley, and one Sprang story.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S.The PLOD label will stay with it in case it ever sells....I'm definitely not trying to spank anyone.

As per John in a The Comics Journal interview, "SEVERIN : No, I had stopped working for EC before they folded. The next day you go down to the other guy's place and see if he has an opening there and he (Stan) welcomed me with open arms...." "GROTH : Did you literally go to see Stan Lee?" "SEVERIN : Yeah...I just went up and told the girl in the open box who I was and that I would like to see Stan Lee if she could arrange it. And Stan Lee came out and we talked about a price." Easy as pie for Severin to find work! ...and equally as easy to find fans .....that Mystic cover AS just posted looks as if John drew it from life, right off the porch of his brownstone.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

What beats Tec 31? Tec 27, Batman 1, AA 16, CA 1, Marvel 1, Adv 40 For the same price maybe nothing... MMC9 is as close of a comparision as I can think of, but the cover is not in the same stratosphere league, IMO, but the contents are better with MMC9 (thumbs u I always loved the cover on MMC 9.....BRISTLING with Everett action and detail....and though I hold 'Tec 31 in very high regard, I'd prefer MMC 9 without hesitation. USA 7 is another great ,but not in the same value tier.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Don't forget the Stan Lee series. All in all this is terrific little run. (thumbs u This partial run has been a learning experience and I have come to appreciate ALL the talents that produced the title....I'll probably pick up the last 5 if they turn up in the 5.0 to 6.5 range for a fair price.The 9 actually has an Everett story inside and a Colan cover. I have a question....as my interest in Atlas has been kindled by the wealth of info on these boards...did Severin do much horror for them ?....I've really come to LOVE his westerns and war for the company.That guy's work is so under appreciated by today's fandom.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I think Severin went to work for Atlas after the collapse of EC so that he was primarily a post-code artist for Atlas. I don't think Severin did hardly any horror for EC or anyone else. He did some very nice work for the Atlas suspense titles but I don't he was all that personally interested in horror. NICE......and thank you.You are a fountain of knowledge ,sir.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Hope to have this soon, on it's way from Andy at www.goldustcomics.com .This completes my Everett run of Menace 1-6 (covers and interiors).GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Those are definitely the better of the bunch. They're my favorites too....I think I remember reading that Everett wrote quite a few of them....not sure. www.atlastales.com may have more info.They're certainly not E.C.'s but I like 'em....I was in hog heaven for a week when I got my volume. Now they need to collect Menace 1-11 ,or Venus 13-19 in a masterworks volume GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

You had to spend a fair amount of time skulking around seedy neighborhood convenience stores during school hours...although this, too, would result in the occassional spanking.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a fiend of jesus) (thumbs u Seedy neighborhood convenience stores, right up my alley. What years did this take place? For me it was the late 60's.....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Odd Rods - How could I have forgotten - I remember trying to draw my own - the monsters were easier than the cars. I had all but forgotten and my memory was jarred by forumites discussing Whacky Packages.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Thanks Scrooge. Plas is one of the only comics I've read that actually makes me laugh !! It is good to be known Torch (thumbs u I plan on building on this one for the duration can we be best friends? <3 Heres to Odd Rods jimjum and your grail !!! And the whole set of Odd Rods cards can be viewed too. YOU DA MAN !!! What 8 year old wouldn't love that. This made me remember talking Mom into buying me a comics digest at a convenience store back then.Only problem...she didn't realize it was men's cartoons until she heard me and my sister cracking up looking at it in the back of the station wagon.Let's just say it wasn't mine for long GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Me and my buddy Matthew Zetts loved Odd Rod packages back in the day.The grail in our neighborhood was the one that was titled "So What ?" and featured a fat naked guy fixing his hot rod.I actually got a spanking over leaving the neighborhood on an Odd Rod mission.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u "So What" is also the title of a pretty sweet Joe Walsh album from 1974. Judy and I are listening to Neil Young right now....but Joe Walsh is also a favorite.70's music always makes me think of DC 100 page spectaculars,Wrightson Swamp Thing's, and 7-11 Slurpees.Music and comics are a good fit.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

NICE....A copy with Reed's full foot showing at the bottom and the full comics code stamp....This is probably the NICEST 9.0 out there.What a rare book in grade.It always surprises me that this book doesn't go for more...first Super Skrull, sheesh, he appeared in almost everything. Congratulations on that.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. It's also got the first "rocky" Thing.He's still lumpy on the interiors until Roussos took over with # 21.He began inking covers with this issue.

On a positive note...it is perfectly centered.FF 13 is notorious for being off centered and mis-cut.Out of all 3 copies recently offered at auction...the Clink 8.5 was the nicest of the bunch. If the spine dimple could have been pressed out it probably could have been resubbed for a 9.0.If I had won it I probably would have left it alone....but I can understand your focus on 9.0...that really is the separating point on early FF's...very tough at that level.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Now THAT'S a tough book in that grade....congrats.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

TO many... But I am in no hurry....yeah right.... Steve Just goes to show...contrary to popular belief...a 9.0 run of FF in 9.0 cannot be put together in a couple months, even if you have the money.J.I.M. 83-95 also fits that category.The first 3 Hulks in 9.0 would also be time consuming.That's what makes it fun.GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Which 13 did you end up with? GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

If you won the Heritage 18....that's a tough one. Congrats.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
