The price really wasn't that surprising...as far as scarcity goes, it's hands down the crown jewell of high grade JIM's....even tougher than the 84.I wish you would have gotten it...you're putting together quite a run.GOD BLESS...

Great issue. I love issue 25 and 26. How long have you been chasing FFs Rube?

 

Well since I decided to sell my Flash run because trying to continue picking up the "highest graded copies" became an uphill battle. FF's were the Marvel books I always enjoyed reading and have a complete run of readers from 1-60. I thought it might be "less expensive" to pickup 9.0 copies of that same run along with trying to collect 9.4's of The Atom on the DC side. Of course even picking up 9.0 are sometimes not so easy to. There are some nice 9.0 in the Heritage auction that I am looking at.

 

Rube

That 9.0 FF 13 they have is VERY tough in grade....the C/OW PQ might make it affordable. I would also try for the 18 in 9.0....another that NEVER turns up in that grade.I enjoy watching you put your run together....it's a tough one in 9.0....especially the # 3.GOD BLESS...

Surprised greggy didn't with me, as this is the first DC I have bought in about 30 years

 

Nah , I think The Greggy Meister reserves the .... ......for me ........

I think greggy wants you to room with him in SD.

I want the room next door GOD BLESS...

Early FFs rock!

 

 

Sure do! They also stretch, flame and turn invisible.

GOD BLESS...

Just got outbid on Venus 18 on eBAY.....but for consolation I just got the Marvel Masterworks Atlas Sub-mariner volume....AWESOME....if you like Everett ...get it. That AIU 27 is cool....a WILLIAMSON story ? GOD BLESS...

From across the pond (flaming telepath/Nick)...

At first glance, looks like a freakin 9.0...in hand, hard to tell how it isn't 6.5/7.0 easy (?)

Looks like you hit the jackpot on that one, Tom. GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a fiend of jesus) (thumbs u

Looking forward to seeing the 11...one of my favorite covers and ,as you know, one of THE toughest to find in grade in the whole run...probably only the first three are tougher.GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

You really are putting these away ....love the 42. You gotta admit, for SA , the FF run in 9.0 or better isn't a simple task.GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

my thread stays alive...

I guess this is THE place to point out the extremely strong FF run that is stacking up for the November Signature auction...one of the nicest I've seen in a while. That FF 50 in CGC 9.4 should prove "veddy interesting". I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit 10 K. The Curator TTA 44 in CGC 9.4 is another one to watch.GOD BLESS...

NICE.....FF 35 was my first early FF ...and one of my favorites. My Mom brought it home from a Church Bazzaar that my young punk arse was too lazy to go to.She said there was a room full of comics ....GOD BLESS...

Here's a sharp copy of a book I've wanted for years. This came from Lee's Comics - A+ guy BTW. This issue is a real gem among the post-code Atlas war books. Interior by Colan, Williamson, Drucker - as well as an artist named Bill Walton. Not to mention a phenomenal Heath cover - about as life-like as line drawn art gets. I wish I could get a scan that represents the cross-hatching as well as it is in person.

 

That book is deserving of Cassic Cover status....Atlas put out some real choice stuff after the Comics Code kicked in.I guess they were pulling out all the stops trying to stay in business.GOD BLESS...

:applause:

 

Today I received Volume 3 of the Marvel Masterworks of Atlas Heroes with nothing but reprints of the Sub-Mariner series with TONS of Everett art and also interesting fish stories by other artists including a nice Shark! story by Joe Maneely. That's a volume to pick up. I believe Jimbo mentioned it elsewhere and I can only agree that it's a strong reprint book (thumbs u

I can't wait to get that book....a phat hardcover packed full of Everett delights....bug eyed Atlanteans, Namora hotness, mad scientist gizmos,and gnarly sea monsters. Several stories I haven't even read yet....It may end up as my favorite of all the Masterworks. GOD BLESS....

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

I went to a small con here in Montreal this afternoon (for details see the thread in Comics Events) and picked up this nice VF book from Harley Yee.

 

Is that Maneely cross-hatching?

 

Definitely not Maneely and most likely Burgos

I've got a pre code Atlas with a Maneely story and a Burgos story and it's very difficult to tell the difference....you'd think it was two Maneelys.I'm not an expert , but Maneely seems to have a greater depth of facial expression and variety in face types.GOD BLESS...

From Flaming-Telepath,

 

Nicest 8.0 I have ever seen.

 

Thanks Nick.

 

MAN that's a pretty book...GOD BLESS...

Hi Jimbo

 

Nice to see this book go to a good home. If you are interested, I bought this book from Harley Yee 15 years ago in London (he used to come over for a couple of UK shows each year - I think it was Storey's Gate - the UK guys will remember). So I guess it has found its way home.

 

The page quality is excellent - the book has been sat in archival Mylar D all that time.

 

Regards

Cool story.....I can see why they gave it a 7.0...but i has to be one of the nicest 7.0's I've ever seen.Thanks for letting it go...hope it allowed you to get something awesome.GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Hey Buddy....long time no read.....how's it going ?GOD BLESS...

-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

Just got this from Doug at www.pedigreecomics.com and it's NICE. It would grade a solid 8.0 if not for a rusty staple. I haven't owned a nice copy of this in a long time.GOD BLESS...
