But Kraven the Hunter preceded the Ka-Zar introduced in X-Men 10.

How so? Did you order a set? Did you become a student of Roman or ancient history in general? Are you a collector of penny flats or Marx playsets these days?

Just to have a newsstand fresh copy of many of those 1940's comics though! If you forced me to choose just one, I might end up with a Green Lantern with Harlequin or Streak on the cover.

Yes, absolutely! I still clearly recall the time I was watching a clip of the Rolling Stones playing "I'm Alright" from the T.A.M.I. Show on TV in the living room while my father was making himself a cup of coffee in the kitchen. He leaned into the living room for a quick glance and with a look of utmost disgust expostulated "Like s--- you alright!" But he also watched in complete silence with nary a comment as the Doors played "Light My Fire" (despite Jim Morrison's leather pants) and Vanilla Fudge played "Some Velvet Morning" on the Ed Sullivan Show. I think by then he had noticed there was real musicianship involved.

My experience as well. And of course those kids who did send away for any of the sets advertised in the pages of comic mags must have been bitterly disappointed with what they received, especially in comparison to the often strikingly gorgeous ads. These sets are now known as "penny flats" and have their own avid collector base.

Those Crazy comics are awesome! I'll add Crazy to my list of titles underrated by present day collectors.

Memakata liked the occasional night out on town:

A truly bent title!

Another Showcase:

Agreed!

My best Flash covers featuring Mirror Master :

My Flash covers with Green Lantern: What horrible renderings of Green Lantern and the Flash! Methinks Cartmine Infantino must have been nipping into the bourbon the day he did the above cover.

Hey! John Lennon needed no stinking sheet music! The DC comics I recognize are from late 1963 to early 1964.

When I was a kid this house ad made me pine for a copy of Mystery in Space 75: I satisfied that desire only about thirty years ago:

Here are five more of my Northland Herbie comics: NM- NM NM NM NM+

From Lorna to Leopard Girl: Love 'em both!

So do I! I wonder if any are still hanging in there?

Never too late as long as you're on this side of the grass!

The inimitable Fauntleroy Fox! Any members of the canidae family are more than welcome in this thread. We don't discriminate on the basis of race or even species in this thread.

One of my favourite Russ Heath pieces:

Another glorious cover featuring the notorious Kid Colt Outlaw:
