I may be totally offbase here,but I thought the Supes vs. Ali Whitmans were supposed to be destroyed or something. I think I recall being at a show and Bob Rozakias making a big stink out of someone having a couple and threatining to cut them off of DC books.Anybody know anything about this?

My memory may be a little hazy but I believe this was a variant cover that sat on the stands unnoticed for a few days. I remember getting a call from another dealer offering to buy the variant and that being the first time I was aware of them. I had recieved about 20 or so copies and put them right on shelf.Back then the entire ordersheet for the month was only 3 or 4 pages so I think I would have noticed it. This bookcame out early in the BW craze and it is possible that I missed the solicitation but I was pretty quick both jumping on and off the bandwagon. I sold a ton of Miami Mice, Elflords, Elf warriors and the like and laffed as my competitors were buiried in Daffy Khaddaffi, Gerbils, and my alltime favorite GI Jackrabbits. Is this book still desired?

The Adveturers skelton cover was approx.15% of run and was sent to dealers in same proportion, except fpr a few warehouses where employees cherrypicked them. I don't think this was solicited so if you order 20 copies of the book you would recieve 17 regular and 3 variant. I'm not sure book is all that hot.

Back in the 80s, DC came out with the Limited Dark Knight S/N hardcover. My distributor gave one copy to each of his accounts. Back then there was no internet but I had no problem getting $500 for mine.Heard of copies selling for over 1K. This seems much more key than 608,yet Overstreet has it for much less today some 15 years later. I know its not an exact comparison but I think its in the ballpark. Bill

To me it was not a matter of the Bronze Age starting as it was the Silver Age ending. The passing of the torch from Stan Lee to Roy Thomas, Marv Wolfman, Gerry Conway and the rest of the next Generation of writers formed the Start of the Bronze Age. To me Captain America 100 is Silver whereas Cap 110 with Steranko is Bronze. The Price increases from .12 to .15 to .20 are good benchmarks, and by the .25 giant books the bronze age is in total effect. So,to me, the early Steranko books, along with Neal Adams work on the Xmen are the prelude to the dawn of the Bronze Age.
