  1. Unpolished? She looks like an urban sophisticate to me.
  2. I agree. I'm a Curt Swan fan all the way! (thumbs u
  3. Beautiful copy of a book from 1959! Simply incredible for 1957! (thumbs u
  4. Yes, and for me that's a particular high nostalgia issue because it was the second Aquaman I got as a kid. I was so impressed with #11 that I immediately subscribed. The #12 arrived in my mailbox shortly thereafter. I was a bit miffed with the fact that it was folded in half though.
  5. So that's where the nice ones are! (thumbs u
  6. Here are scans of a few comics featuring another much beloved Harvey character from the Silver Age:
  7. Here are scans of three more Flash Giants:
  8. Yes. Bud Grant is the one without the helmet. Can you guess though the identity of the other fellow?
  9. I'm bewildered though as to how your comment might relate to any of the recent posts in this thread. Or are you just attempting to get the heebie-jeebies?
  10. Holy . Yes indeed. Those 9.6s from 1962-63 are magnificent!
  11. You're correct. Had I ever stumbled across a nice #18, I would have grabbed it on sight. Here are scans of three more of my House of Secrets comics:
  12. The Topps Funny Valentines cards are one of the most beloved items in my collection. They're not scarce, they're not expensive, but I remember them in the schoolyard and the Jack Davis artwork is just too cool! The first set was issued in 1959: The Funny Valentines A set was issued in 1960: The Giant Funny Valentines were issued in 1961 and then reissued in 1966. The 1961 cards have red-orange backs while the 1966 reissue has bright red backs. The 1966 reissue was also printed in both the U.S. and Canada. They're easy to differentiate because the U.S. version was printed on white card stock while the Canadian version was printed on grey card stock. The fine print on the back also tells you in which country the cards were printed. U.S.A. Canada
  13. That's alright. Little Dot didn't change between the Silver Age and the Bronze Age. Here are scans of a couple of other seldomnly mentioned Harvey titles:
  14. That's a pity. Di ck Tracy is an excellent title. Those I've posted over here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4712043&fpart=21
  15. Little Dot is another prototypical Harvey title:
  16. Love those! While DC had the best war comics in the late fifties and sixties, there's no question that Atlas/Marvel had the best westerns! (thumbs u
  17. My Favorite Martian was a cool show! (thumbs u
  18. I've now got lots of Dubble Bubble gum to work through these next few weeks:
  19. Wow! A Clarabelle Cow cover! Cool! (thumbs u Interesting is that Clarabelle was initially portrayed naked with swaying udders in the cartoons: They soon covered her up though. I suppose young kids exposed to swaying udders might grow up to be, oh, stockbrokers, bankers, bakers, engineers, doctors, lawyers, plumbers, congressmen, whatever....
  20. One thing you could never question was the courage of the Howling Commandos. Their sanity, yes, their courage, no. At least Sgt. Rock & Easy Co. were portrayed as sweating in the face of tanks but not so the Howling Commandos, no sireee!
  21. Yes, Jigsaw was a good one! But here's one of Harvey's very best: (thumbs u
  22. Go ahead. All threads are public. It's vanilla inside with icing sugar butter cream frosting! Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmm!!!
  23. the #11 w/ the black cover makes sense but why the #12? hepcat's is the nicest copy of that book i can remember seeing I seem to recall that it took me many years to find a nice #12. Since I've had it for around fifteen years, I've forgotten both where I got it and precisely how difficult it was to find.
