  1. Kid Colt Outlaw and Two-Gun Kid were two different characters though and those are two different titles.
  2. Especially not after nearly nine years! Congratulations to you for catching their dastardly trick.
  3. Terrapin covers are way cool! (thumbs u
  4. Wow! Those two comics are really tough to find as bright and dark as that. (thumbs u
  5. Hey, wow, cool! Very similar indeed! And here the same kid returns after more than 21 years!
  6. How about these two from my collection then? Do you think perhaps that Julius Schwartz might have been a leg man?
  7. Here are scans of a baker's dozen of my favourite Justice League of America covers from my collection:
  8. Given that it's been the buying power of baby boomers entering their peak earning years that has pushed the price of "key" comics to astronomical levels, these prices are going to be difficult to maintain as more and more boomers enter their retirement years, and then slowly fade into the sunset. Quite simply, who's going to be buying from the boomers and their estates as they liquidate? This scenario of course applies to not just Brave and the Bold 28, but whichever comics and other boomer artifacts that have appreciated most strongly in price in the last 25 years.
  9. A laudable achievement to be sure! These two? Like this one maybe?
  10. A gorilla?! On the cover of a comic book? What will they think of next? I knew it! First it was gorillas, and now dinosaurs! Well don't say I didn't warn you.
  11. Those two covers are about as similar as you can get! Meanwhile, where do you think Murphy Anderson may have gotten the idea for the cover of Justice League of America 10?
  12. Gil Kane wasn't above recycling earlier covers for Green Lantern either:
  13. Well then you carved out a very decent share of the market for yourself!
  14. Ask on this forum: www.universalmonsterarmy.com It's a board on which many amateur but highly skilled sculptors post, and it has a separate sub-forum for modeling.
  15. So I was challenged to come up with a list of my personal favourite toys from my childhood. This meant I had to limit my selections to only those toys I either had or really coveted but never managed to obtain as a kid. Accordingly I had to reject a lot of very cool toys from that era simply because I just don't remember even being aware of them at the time, e.g. Ideal King Zor, Kenner Give-A-Show Projector, MPC Pop-Tops, Ideal Godzilla Board Game, Hamilton's Invaders, MPC Horror House Target Set, Ideal Haunted House, Marx Prehistoric Times Playset.... Here then in rough order is my list: MY FIFTEEN FAVOURITE TOYS FROM MY CHILDHOOD YEARS 1. Mad, Mad, Mad Scientist Laboratory 2. Monogram 330P/LM Ferrari 1/32 Scale Slot Car Kit 3. Aurora Bride of Frankenstein Model Kit 4. Lionel HO Electric Train Set with Launching Helicopter and Bobbing Head Giraffe Cars 5. Revell Rat Fink Model Kit 6. Duncan Imperial Spin Top 7. Marx Three Keys to Treasure Bagatelle 8. Hasbro Marble Maze 9. Kenner Rocky & Bullwinkle Presto Sparkle Paint Set 10. Parker Bros. Monopoly Game 11. Cox Spitfire 12. Topper Johnny Seven O.M.A. 13. Mattel Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker 14. Milton Bradley The Deputy Game 15. Coleco Power Play Hockey Game Honourable mention goes to two items that didn't make my list because I wasn't sure they could be properly classified as toys: Standard Plastics Creature-Wolfman Monster Wallet Peacock Crayons These crayons of course needed the accompaniment of colouring books. I remember admiring Shari Lewis and Deputy Dawg colouring books at the News Depot in downtown London but I can't say for sure whether these were colouring books I actually had.
  16. Here are scans of my twelve favourite Flash covers from my collection:
  17. Here are scans of three more of my Atom and Hawkman comics:
  18. Wow! That would have hit the stands in late 1961! But who wrote the "I" underneath the cover date? Oh man! And that's one of the four Aquaman issues I want to upgrade in my own collection.
  19. I guess you must! I really like it too.
  20. Here are scans of four of my Atom and Hawkman comics:
  21. Wow! A 9.6 from 1962! That's not something you see every day. But that's a hand written 63 under the issue #. Strange.... (thumbs u
  22. Here in chronological order are scans of my top twelve Aquaman covers:
