All-Star Western is one of the toughest titles of all the ones from the early Silver Age to complete.

Here then from my collection are scans of a few more of my ten cent Tales of the Unexpected comics: Bethlehem copy Bethlehem copy

Yes, early Challengers are tough in high grade. Here are scans of another tough title: Bethlehem copy

Here are scans of the ten cent Challengers of the Unknown comics from my collection:

Here they are:

I think the reason my collecting focus is so broad these days is because my attention span as a kid was so brief. I went through a whole gamut of intersts as a kid, all of which left a lasting mark on me which has persisted till the present day. Here anyway are scans of five more of my ten cent Wonder Woman comics:

Here then are scans of five more of my Eerie mags:

Not many maybe but Rocky and Batwoman covers set the standards way high for everyone else! Here are scans of five of my ten cent Wonder Woman comics:

A common affliction among many sellers. I once had an Ebay seller tell me a set of Golden Books was Mint despite the very evident wear because it wasn't missing any pages! Too many of these sellers evidently learned their craft from used car dealers.

I love Dell's Walter Lantz titles!

No, and no #38 either. Here are scans of five more of my Creepy magazines:

Wow! That's a tough one! (thumbs u

Actually I wish the boxes had been distributed as a door prize to the first 10,000 attendees at the first National Sports Collectors Convention. That way all collectors today would be able to afford Mantle and Mays rookie cards.

No, the high numbers were distributed nationally. It's just that they didn't sell worth a darn so Topps got returns, many many cases of returns. Says Topps' card designer Sy Berger: There you go. Back in 1959 nobody would buy seedy, old 1952 baseball cards of players like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays ten for a penny so Topps had to dump them all in the ocean.

Yes, true. Since we're talking post-War, I'd say that the 1952 Mickey Mantle card would be most closely equivalent to Showcase 4. The card I'd be tempted to compare to Action 1 would be the 1911 Honus Wagner Sweet Caporal card.

No, sadly no. While I'd love to have a Halloween themed room or even cabinet with items such as Beistle decorations, Collegeville and Ben Cooper masks and costumes. Gurley candles and assorted Halloween blow molds, a cat can't have everything and at present I do no more than admire the collections of others at a distance: I do, however, have a couple SPP monster wallets as well as a whole bunch of vintage Aurora monster model kits:

Here are a couple good pictures from 1952 and 1953 of five and dime store confectionery stock:

Here I am practicing my Halloween shadow terror on Scruffy the little terrier down the street:

I'd check Collier's and Harper's Bazaar next then.

Good job! Thanks! Need to find out what the mag is directly behind her. Can't make it out and it's bugging me! Want to finish that part! Anyone know what mag it is?? I'm guessing a Look magazine given its size and where it's placed by the Life and Post magazines. Have you checked Look magazines of the appropriate date?

Good job!

Is that a magazine or a trade paperback? When was it released and who was the publisher?

I agree with RedFury. I'd go with #98. Moreover the Silver Age Wonder Woman art team of Ross Andru and Mike Esposito took over the interior artwork on the title with issue #98 - and it was a very dramatic change in style since H.G. Peter's artwork looks very old-fashioned. Andru and Esposito had already been doing the covers for some time though.

The sweats have great artwork by fellows such as Norm Saunders, James Bama, Charles Fracé, Mort Kunstler and Basil Gogos. Here are a couple from my small collection: The Wildcat title generally had really good sexploitation covers. I wish I had a lot more.

Nah. What I believe is happening to you is that you are discovering Russ Heath Atlas goodness He did it in the Western genre as well but that shouldn't be enough to convince you to start buying Westerns. War, Western, Heath, Maneely, Severin, there's just so much goodness in fifties Atlas comics! (thumbs u
