Mmmmmm! Early ones!

Alright then. Here are scans of my Aquaman issues of Showcase: The #33 was a particularly good buy since it has a 1/8 inch chip out of the back cover at the top but that bothered me not at all. What I didn't like was the miscut left edge but the cover was so white and bright that I bought it anyway.

Great idea for a thread! I'm really surprised it's not been done before. What a great way to start the thread too! I'm not sure that's a good idea. "Boba" is an uncomplimentary term for a washed-up old woman in most Eastern European languages.

Here are scans of a couple of mine:

I keep my Revell slot car kits on the left hand side of the top shelf of my main model kit cabinet: Here are some close-up shots:

Here are front and back scans of three more of my Mad magazines:

Here are scans of five more of my Vampirella magazines:

That's another one I didn't notice until you were perceptive and kind enough to point it out in this thread. Here are scans of my copies:

Yes, but in a different thread! Here's my addition:

This is as good a time and thread as any to recount the most infamous Batman story of them all. Yes, the lurid boner saga in which Batman attempts to top the Joker's best efforts! The seeds of this contest are planted when the Joker's puny boner makes front page news: Determined to never be caught short again, the Joker first bones up on the subject: The awesome boners he then unleashes soon draw rave headlines: Batman responds by valiantly matching the Joker boner for boner: The Joker then raises the ante by making Batman himself the target of his next boner: This unexpected development seems to have Batman at a loss. His heavy handed approach to crime fighting isn't the answer. It doesn't seem to occur to him that a woman's tender touch may be necessary, specifically that of Catwoman who's known across Gotham for more than just lipservice when action is needed. But would Catwoman now be willing to lend a helping hand when Batman has spent years rejecting her advances preferring instead to humiliate her by sending her off to prison? No, she wasn't there for ole Bats this time. The Caped Crusader would have to face up to what was coming from the Joker himself. The experience probably left poor Batman with deep and abiding emotional scars. Poor Robin....

Sure does! (thumbs u

My roommate Ace pulled a similar stunt earlier this century. Rather than just hanging around the neighbourhood after being let outside one Friday morning, he somehow got to the Sears store at the downtown Eaton Centre some five miles away. He was discovered by store staff late in the afternoon wandering in the hallway between the parking garage elevators and the administration office! Sears left a message for The MAN at the office but he'd already gone home. A Sears employee therefore took Ace home for the weekend. The MAN received the message on Monday and duly picked up Ace back at the Sears store on Tuesday morning. Ace though has never revealed why he had to go downtown that day. The MAN suspects that Ace caught a ride by sneaking into the backseat of a neighbour's car but Ace hasn't divulged that information either. At the age of fifteen, Ace's wandering days are now a thing of the past. He's become a porch potato and prefers to wile away the hours in a comfy chair. Jack, an orange tabby whom The MAN had dumped on his sister in London, had a similar escapade himself about twelve years ago. Jack hitched a ride with the fellow next door and ended up in Port Bruce thirty miles southeast of London on Lake Erie. The neighbour fellow was quite surprised to see Jack in the backseat when he got to Port Bruce. He had absolutely no idea that Jack shared his interest in snorkeling. Jack was out of luck though since the neighbour had no snorkeling gear of his size. Nonetheless, Jack got to spend a pleasant few hours at the beach with the sweet smell of dead fish wafting in the air.

Now every eleven year old knows that girls are here to stay, but they're certainly not be completely trusted. After all, they just might turn on you at any time: And if the girls can revolt, why not the pets? And the pets do indeed have a legitimate grievance. They were after all never allowed in the Legion proper in the first place. They were shunted off into some subsidiary organization:

The one year old orange tabby Ennis who lived in the row of houses directly behind us disappeared last July 27th. Although he was chipped (but not collared) and the three humans with whom he lived launched a concerted campaign to find him, Ennis appeared to have well and truly vanished. While The MAN thought that Ennis might possibly have hitched a ride to parts unknown, The WOMAN feared that Ennis had fallen prey to a coyote because he liked to wander out through the kitty door during the night. Well it turned out that The MAN was correct. The family received word by phone mid-week that Ennis had been turned over to the Keswick animal shelter on the shore of lovely Lake Simcoe 45 miles north of us. Ennis had evidently heard that Lake Simcoe was a splendid place in the summer, albeit somewhat less so in the winter. So Ennis is back home and has settled in as if he'd been gone no more than overnight. Here are some pictures of Ennis out in front of our house from last spring:

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't have anything back that far, this is my oldest Jimmy Olsen: Man, those go back so far I can't even remember ever seeing them before now! (thumbs u

Yes, but the last few pages of this thread have been absolutely slaying me!

Particularly given that he doesn't just have these Atlas ones; he has DCs from the same period as well. He's obviously trying to corner the market on the genre - and he's succeeding! How long have you been working on it?

Toughie! It's beyond tough. The comics Rick Starr has been posting here are absolutely magnificent!

I agree! They're just incredible. And I see you're helping to take this thread over-the-top yourself! (thumbs u

Those are all awesome! It's so sad that Stan Lee moved away from the genre.

One of mine too! And yours has a perfect black cover! (thumbs u

Man, now that was battle action! Smash them Reds! (thumbs u

You bet we do! Here are a couple great video clips of my cousin Spot in action:

Wow! You two fellows are white hot! Those are some kind of gorgeous comics on this page. (thumbs u

I'd object to Rick sneaking a Challengers of the Unknown and a Star Spangled War Comics into this thread if they weren't such great comics!
