Nope! Just a robot pretending to be Perry White's niece Joyce. A real doll decades early for Superman!

I've had this box of Hawk Weird-Ohs Decals complete with the shipping box for more than 25 years: I picked it up at Collector's Corner in Scarborough which specialized in car model kits.

Curt Swan's artwork on the Superman title was simply a cut above Wayne Boring's. That's very obvious from the covers you posted. Is that Lucy Lane Superman is marrying on the cover of #120? Of course all the women these artists drew in the early Silver Age looked alike other than their hairstyles.

Oh wow! Those CGCs in those grades would have been dear.

Oh cool! An 80-pager! Here are a couple of my Lois Lane Giants that I've not yet posted:

Yes, but certainly not my favourite.

Here are scans of four Strange Adventures comics from my collection that I've not posted previously:

They're back stories to my buying those comics for the first time though. Sadly those original purchases are almost invariably long gone. I set out in 1979 to reassemble the original comic collection I had as a kid, and I've now gone many steps beyond that. There are only a handful of comics I owned as a kid that I still don't have today. Still, I'll keep up the back stories!

Just because Hector Hammond was the feature villain in both Green Lantern 5 and Green Lantern 22 did not mean the second cover had to reprise the underlying concept of the first - but it did:

Here's a scan of the first Neal Adams cover for the Green Lantern title:

Here are scans of another couple of my favourites: I recall buying the #55 at the News Depot in downtown London in 1965 and bringing it to a YMCA boys' club meeting where comic mags were to be the subject of discussion. Fabulous cover!

Some of them have bad dust shadows though.... Nonetheless, here are scans of my Showcase comics featuring that greatest of all spelunkers, Cave Carson:

Lucky I have one. Can't let you corner the market on those Mohawk Valley Showcases.

My Mohawk Valley copy is the #44.

Cool! Those are the ones I most like to see because they're not as commonly shown. Here are scans of my Tommy Tomorrow Showcase comics: Mohawk Valley copy

I get a kick out of the mop-haired kid Joe Kubert drew on the cover, but I place no stock in the Golden Age Superman appearance. Here's a scan of my copy:

Here are scans of my Showcase comics featuring the Metal Men:

Here are scans of five more of my Action Comics: Northland copy

So fifty years ago today the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show kicked off the British Invasion and spawned an absolute avalanche of merchandise over and above their records. Here are scans of some of my Topps Beatles cards. The first one Topps issued was a 155 card set issued in three series: Topps then issued the Beatles Color Photos set: A second series of these was issued as Beatles Diary cards: Finally Topps issued a set based on the Hard Day's Night movie that was released later in 1964:

I would love to see pictures of this bad boy in 9.0. I am looking for a nice #139 myself right now. Flash 139 also brings back great memories of the excitement/enchantment I felt when I first saw it on the comic rack at Ken's Variety on Wharncliffe Road in July of 1963. I mean I just had to buy it, and Aquaman 11, Atom 8, Justice League 22 and Wonder Woman 141 with it! Here's the one I've had for more than twenty years. I don't even try to guess it's technical grade, quite simply because I'm very satisfied with it as is.

Here are scans of my Showcase Atom issues:

Wise! Welcome to the select club of the few, the proud! (thumbs u

That's probably even less often seen than Showcase 4!

Perhaps we could also address the mystery of the red-haired Robin here: But why is raven haired Batwoman Kathy Kane referring to red-haired Robin II as our son while the two of them are watching the new Dynamic Duo on a flat screen HDTV? Is she actually his stepmother? Was Batman high sticking Vicki Vale on the side and they adopted the fruit of his loins? Or was Batwoman instead dallying with the long limbed Elongated Man? Or Jimmy Olsen maybe? Here she is plotting the demise of her other rival for Batman's attention anyway:

I agree on both points! High grade early Showcase comics are owned only by the few, the proud, the hard core fanatics who intend to take them to their graves! (thumbs u
