Indeed! In their early years the Stones used to make a point of stressing that they were actually a rhythm and blues band unlike most other British Invasion bands. Brian Jones can be heard making the statement in this LP:

Here are a couple scans of a rarely seen title that I may not have posted in this thread previously: 13 17

I love both Chilly Willy and Twinkles. So that's a winner in my book both front and back!

Rocky and Bullwinkle remain among my very favourite cartoon characters of all time! Here are scans of most of their Four Color Comics:

It was fifty years ago on the 6th of December that the infamous concert at the Altamont Speedway in California would bring the curtain down on flower power and the love generation: Compelling evidence indeed that hasty last minute planning of a free concert in California that would end up attracting 300,000 music fans and sundry LSD and amphetamine fuelled hippies, the budget driven hiring of drunken Hells Angels to provide security and a collection of rock bands including the Rolling Stones don't mix. Despite the resultant deaths including that of Meredith Hunter, things could have turned out even worse. Hunter was according to his own girlfriend enraged, irrational and "so high (on methamphetamines) that he could barely walk". Who did he intend to shoot with the revolver? Angels, Stones, or was he just going to start shooting? Nonetheless it was fitting that the Rolling Stones who had made a career out of being the "bad boys of rock" were not just present but were key players at the denouement of the Woodstock generation. December 1969 was also the month of release of the LP Let It Bleed which marked the demarcation point between the Brian Jones era of the Stones and the Mick Taylor era. Neither fellow played much on the LP. Brian Jones played autoharp on You Got the Silver and added percussion to Midnight Rambler but that was it. Mick Taylor meanwhile played guitar on Live With Me and slide guitar on Country Honk but that too was it. The LP contained several tracks still regarded as all-time classics: What's ironic is that back in their early years in 1963-64 the Stones had repeatedly insisted that they were not a rock band but a "rhythm 'n blues" band. Yet beginning with the 1966 release of Aftermath, the Stones had by December of 1969 released five LPs that had stretched the boundaries of rock music. They were of course also billing themselves as the "World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band" by this time.

Ahhhhh, #28!

Thanks for the tip! I'll be waiting for that one.

Murphy Anderson more specifically! He drew all three covers including the Hawkman 9:

So here's a very cool Charlton that's an outlier in my collection:

Wow! I'm overawed!

Ffffftttt! I prefer Joe Maneely's Atlas Westerns to just about all post-hero Marvel comics anyway! The occasional Fantastic Four or Steve Ditko Amazing Spider-Man might be just about on par but that's about it.

Cool! I have both issues in my collection but somehow I failed to notice just how similar were their covers as far as composition was concerned. Here are scans of my copies:

Here are scans of a few more of my Black Cat comics: 15

I collect local pop and half-pint and quarter-pint milk bottles as well!

So I've decided that if a series starts well before the CCA years, it's fair to post any issues from later in the 1950's before they acquire all the accoutrements of the Silver Age look. Here's one therefore cover dated early 1957: Fox and the Crow comics are among the most incredibly tough DC comics from the 1950's to find in decent grade. Incidentally, Crawford Crow is invariably very unfair to Fauntleroy Fox.

Mmmmm, Rudolph!

The D ick Tracy newspaper strip was one of my very favourites in the 1960's. It ran on the very front page of the colour comic section in the Saturday London Free Press. Here are scans from my small collection of D ick Tracy comics: The last Harvey issue of D ick Tracy was #145 cover dated April 1961. I'd like to add more issues to my collection over time.

Hmmmmm. So it seems that on the Secret Six cover Jack Sparling reprised Bob Brown's idol head from the Challengers of the Unknown cover.

Wow! Nice Strange Adventures you fellows have been posting! I'm wondering where the Atomic Age ends? Does any DC comic that looks different from Silver because of the cover indicia fit the bill? Will I be subjected to hate mail and death threats if I post a few DC's with the CCA stamp?

Does not Amazing Fantasy 15 lead all other comics when it comes to total market value of all slabbed copies? If so, that might explain why the price has "stalled". It's just too expensive a comic given the available supply.

Let me sneak this one in even though it displays more than four colours:

Here's a scan of my earliest Felix the Cat comic: 63

Do you think they all looked like this one?

Here's an outlier from my collection: I'm willing to consider more issues featuring Nemesis, but at this point the one above is my one and only.

Repairing and re-entering part of a post from 8 March 2018: One of the loveliest train journeys I've ever taken was in the mid-eighties on the Agawa Canyon Tour Train of the Algoma Central Railway.Agawa Canyon Tour TrainI picked a late September date to capture the fall foliage at its most spectacular:
