Another fine book from the fine folks at Metropolis. Thanks Vincent Thrilling Comics #42 June 1944 Alex Schomburg WWII Cover

Recent Ebay pickup....love those Schomburg Nedors and always looking for more! Fighting Yank #25, July 1948

Exciting Comics #59 January 1948 Airbrush cover by Alex "Xela" Schomburg This book has been high on my want-list ever since I saw a tiny b&w version years ago in some old Overstreet guide, but I never found a nice copy. Well this showed up on Metropolis and I clicked the "Buy Now" button about 10 seconds later. 3 days from order to my doorstep and all is well -- thanks guys. Airbrush cover and a fetching Judy of the Jungle story drawn by Frazetta SOLD Shameless plug - this frees up a presentable VG+ undercopy, PM if you're interested SOLD

Marvel Mystery Comics #10 Marvel Mystery Comics #29 Human Torch #8 All Winners #7 Mystic Comics #6 Mystic Comics #7 Overdose! Overdose! Overdose!

I feel like I'm at the comic-book equivalent of a cabaret show....and it's good ;-)

Hey man there's already a line and it starts right behind me

U S A ! U S A! U S A! There are quite a few classic covers in this run.....awesome

Just picked this up from America's #1 Comic Dealer Startling Comics #30, November 1944

Fabulous! Love those small-logo Detectives

From Heritage: #62 #64 Couldn't find a 63

This was the first cover Murphy drew for DC -- though not his first published. There's a looseness and precision to the way that the monster is drawn that, to me, represents the very best of his work. Loose precision? Looks like the monster is wearing a loose sweater on his arms, but he has been going to the gym regularly. What a cool cover, I love it!

This is on my "must buy" list, please keep us updated with any changes in publishing dates!

I recently picked up this Real Life Comics #27 (Jan 1946) D copy. Although I love Schomburg covers, I don't usually pick up his Real Life books, however this one interested me because of the early Atomic Bomb reference. I decided to crack it open from the CGC case (also a first) so I could read the Atom Bomb story. Two things I have learned from this experience 1) opening a CGC slab is a very nerve-wracking process, and 2) there's no Atom bomb story in the book -- only a reference to it on the inside front cover from the editor.

Nice to see you let your books out of their Kennel every once in a while!

It is an odd-one -- this is her only cover appearance in this costume, as far as I know. She went to the bare-midriff costume for later appearances, and dropped the hat.

Considering the premium for the extra .4 grade would have cost at least $1800, my wallet agrees with you. That's not to say I wouldn't go for the extra grade or pedigree, depending on the book.

Exciting Comics #53 Cover by Alex Schomburg Here's a recent pickup. My consolation prize for not getting the Church copy (9.6) on one of the recent Heritage auctions. This frees up a very nice undercopy, PM if you're seriously interested.

That's very cool, and a nice page-layout.

I've always been a fan of this classic cover...Beware! King Kull Marvel Family #77, November 1952

More Fun #54. For me, this classic cover transcends "comic-books" straight into "art"

Well don't keep us in suspense -- does the sister live or die?

Or, it would buy you 16 unopened copies of an 80's Nintendo game

Very cool, I haven't seen that before. When is the "next annual" survey? I'd like to participate next time. A lot of my favorites are represented....It's great (and very surprising) to see Action #2 in the Top Ten

...And also because maybe that's a 3rd-print Superman
