  1. Hey, that's a nice one! (thumbs u
  2. That's a very sharp looking 7.0. Excellent eye appeal! (thumbs u
  3. Here are scans of three more of my Detective Comics: Cleveland copy
  4. Here are scans of three cool Krypto covers:
  5. I have been amazed at what he has been able to acquire as I believe this 2nd or 3rd attempt at the collection seems to be even higher grade than the first. I don't understand the guy. Why would he sell his collection and then immediately start pecking away at the same books?
  6. I'm only working on portions of the Big Five and other DC war books. The first title I decided to peck away at was Capt. Storm quite simply because it was the only DC war comic I actively bought as a kid. I've been at it for 25 years and I still need seven of the eighteen issues. Twenty years ago I decided to pick up the All-American Men of War Battle Aces of 3 Wars books. I've picked up only four. About fifteen years ago I decided to start working on two more runs - Enemy Ace and Capt. Hunter in Our Fighting Forces. I'm within one issue of completing the run of books where Enemy Ace is the title character but I'm stalled out on the Capt. Hunter run with only four books. About eight years ago I decided to go after the dinosaur cover Star Spangled War Stories books. I'm nearly half complete. Two years ago I decided to peck away at Our Army at War/Sgt. Rock and G.I. Combat books featuring work by Joe Kubert, Russ Heath or Ross Andru since I really like the artwork of these fellows. I've only picked up a very few because my income has nosedived recently.
  7. Getting back on topic, here are scans from my collection of some seldomnly seen Warfront books: I love the cover references to Red lice! (thumbs u
  8. True. Your collection; you define the runs you want. (thumbs u
  9. I agree! But you should have added the three stooges, Assemblyman James Fitzpatrick, Senator Robert Hendrickson and psycho Fredric Wertheim, there at the side gazing in loving admiration at your collection.
  10. The first seven issues of Creepy can't be beat for cover art. Here are scans of my own:
  11. Here are scans of my run of photo cover Vampirella mags with actress Barbara Leigh in the title role:
  12. You've convinced me to open myself to offers of adoption. (thumbs u
  13. Something like that could be a lifelong journey. That's what makes it so sweet.
  14. I've always liked that cover. Flash, Spectre and a WWI fighter plane all together on the moon! I mean what's not to like?
  15. Not for $1500. Twould be alright for half the price maybe.
  16. The Bride of Frankenstein came out later than the first six kits and was advertised in DC Comics with the Witch which was the other kit issued at the same time. I have both the Bride and the Forgotten Prisoner but not the Guillotine:
  17. The flagrant rule breaking in this thread appears to be driving potential posters away in droves. I'll see if I can rectify this situation by posting these two scans of books falling squarely within the rules:
  18. Yes, all the Aurora monsters are the original long box versions. I've been pecking away at my collection of model kits for very nearly thirty years now but there are still high priority kits that have eluded me, such as Aurora Mummy's Chariot and Revell Scuz-Fink, all this time.
  19. Those Aurora kits are all vintage, unbuilt originals. The only kit in my model cabinet that's a repro is the Revell Surfite which I'm keeping as a placeholder until I get an original. I've posted many more pictures of my model kit and other collections in the Comic Room thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1623360&fpart=298
  20. That was the second Flash I ever bought as a kid and perhaps my very favourite cover of the entire run because of the composition and the colours. (thumbs u
  21. Here are some scans from my Topps Batman collection featuring Norm Saunders artwork: And here are some scans from my Topps Comic Book Foldees collection:
  22. Well then check these rims out: Nice, eh? (thumbs u
  23. I remember the magic I felt that day when I first spotted Flash 142 at the News Depot downtown. What a fabulous cover! (thumbs u
