I disagree! The Fly is a very top hero in my book!

1. How about the Aurora figure kits from the 1950's and 1960's that don't quite fit into those categories such as the Confederate Raider, Knights, Gladiators, Castle Creatures, Dick Tracy, Zorro, Jesse James, etc? The Comic Scenes from the 1970's? Do you collect those as well? 2. Did you get lucky on egregiously expensive kits such as Gigantic Frankenstein, Godzilla's Go Kart, King Kong's Thronester and the Lost in Space diorama or did you end up having to pay through the nose for those? 3. How have you been able to resist other non-Aurora lines of kits such as the Hawk Weird-Ohs, Revell "Big Daddy" Roth Finks and Monogram Fred Flypoggers?

I have many more issues with date stamps that I'll be posting in the next few weeks. The only issues I still need are #3 and #4 but I'm still looking for quite a few upgrades (including #11 and #13) since Adventures of the Fly are super tough to find in high grade.

Bee-Man became B-Man: Pacific Coast copy

What on earth were they thinking?

Here then are scans of my five earliest Mystery in Space comics: Dallas Stephens copy Dallas Stephens copy

Here are a couple of shots of Supergirl riding her boyfriend:

Wow! I see Sheldon Mayer started working for DC in 1935! He did Scribbly, Popsicle Pete, Littul Snoony, Dizzy Dog, Doodles Duck, Bo Bunny, Li'l Chic-a-Dee and Three Mouseketeers stories among others in All-American Comics, Comic Cavalcade, Funny Stuff, Scribbly, Leave It to Binky, Leading Screen Comics, Hollywood Funny Folks, Movietown's Animal Antics, Peter Porkchops, Dodo and the Frog, Raccoon Kids, Nutsy Squirrel and Three Mouseketeers before Sugar and Spike 1 in early 1956. And he continued to do Dizzy Dog, Doodles Duck, Bo Bunny and Three Mouseketeers stories well into 1957!

Okay. I'll start with my earliest issues then: 1 2 5 Bethlehem copy 6 Bethlehem copy 7 Bethlehem copy

From a god from Asgard to gods from Mount Olympus:

I agree with all the points you've mentioned here. Though as a kid I preferred Aquaman, Wonder Woman and the Julius Schwartz titles to the "Superman" family titles, I certainly recognize that even the secondary Mort Weisinger titles such as Jimmy Olsen have a charm of their own. As a result, I respect what collectors such as Silver have accomplished with respect to acquiring high grade "Superman" titles going back to the 1950's including Jimmy Olsen and Superboy. Moreover despite the breadth of my own collection of DC comics, I actually envy the depth of Silver's "Superman" title collection.

Wally Wood was really good at portraying women's faces.

From the Golden Age I'm deep into Black Cat and she was very pleasingly endowed: I bought the #1 some 25 years ago but I still need #6,10, 11, 12, 14, 18 and 20 to complete the thirty issue run.

Spotlighting the Shield with the Fly:

Why not? Bondage covers are a sub-category of GGA comics.

Here are scans of my five earliest Action Comics:

Do you ever pick up issues of Fox and the Crow or any of DC's other Funny Animal comics?

I've now scanned my Strange Adventures 123 so here they are again:

Looks like the Inter-Planetary Olympics was held once every seven Earth years:

From Sgt. Fury to Nick Fury:

These two I know I've not yet posted in this thread:

I just realized that DC probably envisioned yet another benefit from Comicpacs. If Comicpacs made it easier for adults such as grandparents to pick up comics for kids, more kids would actually be introduced to comics and perhaps at an even younger age. Moreover if a kid was already buying DC comics but was sticking to tried and true "Superman" and "Batman" family titles, being exposed to comics such as these might well broaden their comic buying horizons: Northland copy Sure would have worked on me!

From Battle Ground to Warfront:

Are you saying that CGC does not penalize for Marvel chipping?
