The delectable Black Cat sure liked to mount them horsies and go riding!

A few more from my collection: ]

Super-Epic to Super Heroes:

More Martian Manhunter then:

Here's the first of two Yak Yak Four Color comics featuring fabulous Jack Davis artwork:

Yeah, that's a big one alright! Here's another:

Lizard?! I'll show you a lizard then:

Great! Here then is another cover with seahorses before I get to mammalian ones: I love those early Challengers of the Unknown comics these days although it wasn't among my favourite titles as a kid.

The first comics I can recall buying were Cicero's Cat 1 and 2 in the summer of 1959. I bought them at Ken's Variety on Wharncliffe Road in London, Ontario and I still very clearly remember my father initially telling me to take #2 back because he thought I already had a copy! Since Dell comics were still ten cents up until the issues that went on sale in December 1960, they were very popular and common on newsstands and places such as barber shops in those days. Both Tom and Jerry and the Donald Duck titles including Uncle Scrooge seemed to be particularly popular and common at the time. Here are a few scans of the latter from my present day collection:

Yes, I second the two above. But The Beguiling on College Street and Pendragon Comics are also certainly worth a visit. The latter though is somewhat past the end of the Bloor subway line.

Sub-Mariner? Why not?

Yes! Satchell Paige with the legendary St. Louis Browns is certainly a good one! I don't much like the appearance of either the 1952 or the 1953 Topps Baseball cards though. But the 1954 Topps are among my very favourites!

This was the second of three Four Color Mouse Musketeers published after the Mouse Musketeers' own title ended with the March-May 1960 issue:

Somehow the second cover always reminds me of the first one here:

Me I'd be happy to see all the specu-investors go away. Good riddance!

Now here's a question. It seems to me that I've viewed many more romance comics from the late 1940's than I have from the early 1960's. Are Silver Age romance comics actually less common than Golden Age ones?

And another wedding! (Sorry for the lousy washed-out scan.)

Will a hot blonde plus a hot brunette do in place of one hot redhead?

Tinker Belle was certainly a nymphet, but a somewhat chubby one too! Look at those thighs of hers in comparison to her torso.

Breaking open a case and substituting another comic is fraud though, simply fraud. What's not fraud though is accepting a higher evaluation/number from CGC when you believe the comic doesn't deserve such and selling the slabbed comic with the number you think it doesn't deserve. After all, nobody ever asked you to guaranty CGC's grading accuracy. You're just selling a slab with a number.

I love comics and I just say "No!" to plastic.. Even if she's cute otherwise, I wish she'd left them in their natural state.

Then of course there's the more flagrant toxicity of certain "newer" boardies....

I've posted every Green Lantern comic I've already scanned at least once, but I'm still trying to decide on my very favourite Green Lantern cover. It's among these seven: Northland copy This one gets honourable mention but it doesn't really count since it's an all reprint issue: Anyone willing to help me out with their own opinion?

Are seahorses eligible here or should I delete this post?

If we're on hot redheads though, I'll give you a pair of torrid ones:
