There must be a thread  for NON LSH  Silver Age Adventures.  Until I find it Ill just post LSH  here

I thought that they took over the series at 300  even if they were not on the cover for a few of those issues

After freeing my collection  of scans from photobucket  I am organizing  and enjoying them.  I still  have the actual book in most cases.

Seems like various long running titles deserve their own thread.  I went back 15 pages  and could not find  a thread on Adventure comics  so i am starting one off

Here are some of my earliest  issues from that series.  Not sure where GA  actually ends  but certainly by 247 ( my favorite issue)

Is it possible I’ve stumbled onto some pedigree books in the wild? Bought this one from my local shop, who picked it up from an original owner collection of a large amount of golden and silver age Strange Adventures out here in California. I bought the bulk of them and just realized the marking in the top left corner on this one. Could it be a lost River City?

Even if they are not pedigrees they are nice to have.  What LCS in Los Angeles Has books like these?  Most of the ones I have been to don't even have mush older SA  let alone ANY Gold

here is another set  of the earliest books from my collection  and a few more crippens  to boot

random midnight post

I am not sure how many  of these stories I actually  read.  my collecting began much later.  I believe my first issue  was Starfinger  and I had to wait a full month and crosscountry  vacation trip after 6th grade

my original run went from 335  to 386  a few issues  after Supergirl  took over the comic  coupled with the increase from 12 to 15 cents.  

This was the first series that I tried and succeeded in getting virtually every issue in the run.

btw  the issues  with the green dot is a system I came up with to ID my original comics  when I got back into collecting in the late 80s

I am sure that some of the sharp eyes  noticed that the Bambi 186  was the Non-four color reprint.  Maybe they were wanting to be kind  and not point out my error.

When I get the chance  I will post my Thank you list of trading partners  which details where I got each issue from.  That list has grown to nearly 10 full pages.

Starting this group off with the real thing  and working my way back among my earliest additions 

a few more of the early Adventure  LSH issues.  For some reason  267  would not upload

Very nice group there! Which are your 5 favorite Flash covers? (You need not own it to list it)

Thanks  I have an almost complete run of Barry  from Showcase4  through  105  and most issue up to 350. ( ALso have near complete runs of Walley and Bart) But only have bout 40 scanned to pick from 

I sure hope that I have replaced the Zorro  by now.  That has to be one of the ugliest comics in my collection

This group contains a few more  of my crippen copies

Of course I got totally  shut out in 4Gems  auctions.  I was top bidder on four  when they went live.  Managed to be around when those came up.  Threw in a couple bids,  but even my best  ended up at 1/3rd of the final hammer.

Lets close out the weekend  with a few more recovered images

after spending much of the day on comics  I am about 1/2 done with fixing the names of the images  so I could begin to reintegrate  the 2 earliest phases of my four color collecting.

Then I will have to scour this computer  to see what I have scanned/added since I stopped uploading to the bucket account

In this batch I have a couple of my Crippen's  that I got at the Los Angeles comic convention  from Ritter.  A couple of those books  had water damage.  wow that must have been at least a decade ago

I actually  lost track of the DD series.  I had stopped after season 2.  somehow I thought it was cancelled after that.

This thread informed me that there was a third season  so I am watching that now

This arrived today. Kirby cover and interiors. Newsstand date Sept, 1957. Love the anti gravity full Kirby splash page that he swiped for an interior splash to FF 7 

Pretty sure that the showcase #11 was prior to the FF4 #7.  Oops. I misread  the post 

He  seems to have sold off multiple signed copies  of most all of the Marvel keys ( AF15 ASM1 Dd1 FF4 1 AV 1&4 etc)  but the  grade decreased often significantly.  Wonder how many more  AF15s  he still has?

This round had many/mostly unsigned books.  Did anybody win any of those?

Not exactly the First  appearance  but a very nice cover 

Probably will spend much of the day  working on my collection  and watching some Superhero  TV shows

Cant believe that photobucket  added  like a 10 digit random code at the end of the  name  for the images I recently recovered.  Like they wanted to be sure I hated them  with a kick on the way out the door

I just recovered my scans from photobucket.  Had to dig deep into the history to find a Green Lantern thread

This should be a nice one to add to the thread

Just got these back from grading

One is a 3.8  and the other is an 8.0  Neither one restored.

I think his ebay store is something like Palm Tree Comics.  Certainly Not a tribute to Omaha

Here are some more of the early additions  to my Four Color Trading Quest
