Pre-hero Marvels are great! They don't get the recognition they deserve from many Marvel zombies. (thumbs u

The cover of Adventure 311: Was essentially just redone for Adventure 336:

Here then are scans of a few more of my earliest Batman comics:

Why are you slabbing them? Are you tired of them?

Sale? By whom?

Mr. Bedrock: Oh man! You're killing me with all those fabulous Little Roquefort comics!

I love those two, particularly the Jack in the Box! How long have you had it? How long have you been collecting the funny animal titles anyway?

Here are scans of some of my earliest Batman comics:

Marvel put out some really good titles in the forties! It wasn't all drek like Captain America. (thumbs u

Nice Raccoon Kids. That's a tough book. Yes, and one I really enjoyed seeing posted! (thumbs u

But he's so unfair to cats.

Wow! Talk about a long forgotten title! (thumbs u

Ahhhhh, but I am! I'd love to add more funny animal comics to my collection over time.

Cool back cover ad!

I love those comics, but why are you suddenly encasing them in plastic? Have you grown tired of them?

Wow! 1956! Just wow!

This is book is a monster now! Why do you say now? Has something happened to make Betty Kane really popular suddenly?

Here are scans of a few more of my early Mad magazines: Note from the back cover that Mad started doing product parodies over ten years before Topps launched its Wacky Packs series of cards/stickers:

I've always wondered whether the Specials are tougher or easier to find than regular issues of the same age.

Here are scans of eight more of my Little Audrey comics:

Collecting Mads is pretty economical compared to comics. New (old) collections of Mads keep surfacing all the time, so they are not difficult to get for low ("cheap") prices if you're in it for the long-term hunt. Plus you get to read them again, and it's a testament to their excellent quality control that much of the stuff holds up really well. The real trick is putting together a run of Mads all in grade. I agree! The paperbacks may be even tougher to put together in grade though than the magazines.

And here Carmine Infantino reinterprets the cover he did less than two years earlier:

Not surprising. Just about all of us Flash fans are in the same boat. Here are scans of a few more of my Daffy Duck comics: 19 20 21 22 23 24

Yes, but it was your idea! Here's a pair that's one of my ideas:

Good man! And good stuff too! (thumbs u But where have you been? Hopefully not Facebook.
