  1. I disagree. My vote for the lamest goes to Captain America. I'm not a fan of that jingoistic all-American shtick of his.
  2. The cover of this Flippity and Flop issue from Scrooge's collection: Clearly served as the inspiration for this Fox and the Crow cover:
  3. Hey, wow! That's a really nice Funny Stuff 4. How did you manage to score that one?
  4. Wow, Peter Panda! That's another title I've been able to admire only in house ads until now.
  5. Who are "them"? The file copies or certain individuals connected to Dell? I have some of the Random House "File" copies. But how were any of these outfits associated with Dell or Western Printing?
  6. Technically I believe Gorgo and his mother are amphibians and not reptiles.
  7. A Harvey title out of the mists of time:
  8. Dells from the early 1940's to mid-1962 nevertheless seem to be far more common than other comics from the same years.
  9. Well I certainly wouldn't pay to see any movie in which the leading ladies looked anything like the ones Jack Kirby drew: My word! Invisible Girl looks like a hippo on the lower left! That nurse looks like a hunchback! Yes, Kirby was a great storyteller. But Stan Lee should have sent him back to art school for anatomy lessons.
  10. Five more from my run: Please don't make fun of me for the above issue. I know it has a subscription crease and I need a better copy. But it's a tough issue to locate in grade. I can't exactly find a really nice copy at any of my local comic shops. The above two are super high nostalgia issues for me!
  11. Strange Worlds to Monster World: Or is posting a magazine cheating? If that's breaking the rules of this thread, I'll remove it.
  12. Five more of my Felix the Cat comics:
  13. Almost all Justice League covers to mid-1965 are gems. Here though are a couple that do nothing for me:
  14. Hey! What happened to the pictures I posted on page 18? They're still in Photobucket. Moreover my pictures in this older posts still appear: Well at least the ones in my post on page 12 appear.
  15. I'd like to know more about these Dell file copies. When did they appear out of the woodwork and do you have any idea of how many File copies there were per issue? Who unearthed them and how were they brought to market initially?
  16. What I find unacceptable is that grading companies are easier on defects displayed by Golden Age comics than on the same defect displayed by a modern comic. That easing of standards plays right into every shyster's tired mantra of "Well it's mint for its age!" You know, just like any used car salesman. But mint is mint. That standard doesn't vary with age.
  17. Flippity and Flop comics are boss! Sadly about the only way I've had to admire them is through house ads such as this one: I can also say the same for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer comics: The house ads have filled me with a craving I've not yet been able to satisfy.
