  1. Now that's a keeper. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  2. ....he was only "rocky" on the cover.....Roussos didn't start inking interiors until # 21. Stan often had inkers do a cover or two before they were given interiors....Stone did the cover to 27, but didn't do an interior until 28. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  3. .....the first "rocky" Thing, courtesy of George Roussos .....when you get tired of that copy, LMK..........GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  4. Congratulations Bill! Thanks Mike YOW......You don't see 'em like that often. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  5. Even though it's in a new slab, the serial number indicates the AA 5 is a very early submission. I wouldn't be surprised to see it get an 8.0 White if you resubmitted it. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  6. Beautiful 6.5. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  7. Most people achieve vintage staple replacement by removing a set from a rag copy of the same book....or to have a reputable resto person to do so. Most commonly available staples today are flat instead of round....a magnifying glass will usually tell the tale. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  8. Which ones would they be, Rich ? GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  9. I'd heard that D.C. had hired some guys to drive a truck over each early Marvel after it came off the press, so they would look inferior to their products on the stands. They must have missed that copy for some reason. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  10. Congrats on the reunion......I'd salt it away too......that cover is so cool, it even looks good as a "beater" which is what most of them are. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  11. .....yes, indeed. I suppose it's safe to assume that copy isn't for sale ? GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  12. ....also " QLOD"....ponounced "clod"......and I consider it my lucky day if I see a high grade one for sale with only vintage staples replaced. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  13. MAN.....That is overwhelming. Always loved that cover, one of my favorites in the run....you lucky dawg !! Any way you could PM me with what that beauty cost ? If not, I understand. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  14. Not much expertise for me in this area....but as scarce as 9.0 GL Showcases are, $2250 seems like wholesale. Wow...I had no idea they were that cheap. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  15. That SC 24 listed on Clink today sure is sweet. I wonder how long that will last ?. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  16. Great book. I always loved this cover; the yellow really makes it pop. This cover has a great 3-dimensionality to it not often seen in covers...what with the hole in the wall extending to the beyond...lover the "cactus" fire hydrant for scale/effect... It is interesting that the sidewalk control joints don't share the same vanishing point... ....They were probably knocked out of square by the asteroid.... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  17. I just put that on watch today....I was going to snag it and use it for trade, but I figured I'd just be getting in the way of another boardie. Looks like I was right.....You're gonna love this book. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. I would GLADLY pay $ 250 for a solid Fine with nice pages.
  18. NICE 8.0.......GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  19. One of my favs.....LOVE dat Android.....and the asteroid crashing into the New York harbor that only shuts down power for part of a day is one of those SA stretches of reality that makes 'em fun. TOUGH book in grade.....bravo. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  20. ......there's still time....it'll feel good and natural GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  21. Your son has good taste! It's a shame I don't have a daughter to marry off to him....I could use some birthday presents like that m'self. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  22. Thanks Brian. I've got a buddy who owns a shop and picked up a boatload of Atlas westerns....they've been thinned out a bit, but there are still a lot of 5.0's left. A lot of them have a name neatly written on the cover but he's only asking half guide.as they get into the mid 60's there are quite a few VF's. I could get you his phone # if you're interested. They don't all have writing. I picked up a KCO 56, TGK 50,and TGK 52.....for 30 bucks, all sharp VG/F. The TGK's have 3 Severins in each GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a fiend of jesus) (thumbs u
  23. I'm in the unique position of having 2 copies now....that one and a de-slabbed 7.0 White. I wasn't expecting to get the recent (better) one but my friend had some problems and sold it to me. I've been coveting it for years, but hate to get it due to a hardship. The scan makes it look a lot worse than it is. It's one of my favorite of the early ones....Thor chasing Loki chasing Thor all through Manhatten....Guggenheim(sp?) Museum on the cover GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  24. Pickedup both of these recently. The 151 takes me way back....I missed it on the stands and my next door neighbor got one....but wouldn't let me touch it. It's been one of my favorites ever since GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  25. Congrats! The Atlas Rawhide Kids are a VERY cool run because it's comprised of only 16 issues so completing the run is a less daunting task than completing an Atlas run of Kid Colt or Two-Gun Kid. HOWEVER, even though it's only sixteen issues, try to put one together - it aint easy. Unless I missed one (and it's possible) there's only a #6 available on eBay at the moment. There are more Outlaw Kid and Ringo Kid books for sale than Rawhide Kid. Furthermore, Metropolis has only three issues for sale. ......picked this up in a trade at the VA Comicon without hesitation. I always thought the cover was cool and they're TOUGH to find. The dealer had 2 copies....this mid grade and a vg- for 200 bucks. I've got a high price on it cause I'm not sure I even want to sell it. There's an 8.0 at the top spot on the census. This would be a definite keeper if it only had a Severin story. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
