I’d have loved to have been able to ask Bill Everett why he dressed that guy in a girl’s shirt

I was surprised to see the AMFs. I think Gators are coming up soon, too. Very odd time for Centaurs

Comix4fun, you are on time here. Good work

You know how many conversations Lichtenstein had with Heath? Not one. Ever. Credit aside, what about common decency

Prices seemed a little soft, so to my surprise, I ended up with one of them . . .

There should at least be a nod in there somewhere to Russ Heath

This encapsulates it in a way that had never dawned on me. Good job, PopKulture!

Ghost 7. My favorite! But be careful: those headlights could put your eye out

Teenage Romances #9 is a gateway drug

Ok you guys have broken me down . . . My new acquisition: (but only because of the wildly inappropriate things that have been written into the text bubbles). Who the heck thought it was a good idea to unleash this on us kiddies??!!

Let’s see the scan!

I don’t disagree except for 2 major DC villains get introduced in Bat 1. No major new characters in Sup 1(all reprints except for 2 page expanded origin), and nothing in spidey 1. Joker! Catwoman!

Both are great books. Congratulations!

First of all, nice headlights. Second of all, YIKES!

No way could a publisher get away with this today . . . Read all the text. Be suspicious of the shape of the rocks, even. These guys were pushing the envelope and laughing the whole way

Water to beach

Thanks. Hearing your stories make my own mess ups a little easier. I guess there’s many here on the boards with similar scenarios

My own purchase here rectifies a mistake I made years ago when I had a chance to pick up a Bat 1 from Vincent Zurzola, and I let a thousand bucks get in the way

Not that I know of. Just here, the Boards. We PM’d quite a bit. He knew I was choosing between the Cap 1 and the Bat 1, using the Heritage auction as a litmus test. Theres a lot more discussion in the thread titled “Cap 1 vs Bats 1”

Actually I did read what you said about pressing and decided you must not be a fan of it. I was thinking to myself that’s probably an unpopular position in this forum, but its a position I agree with

I could see that

I was awaiting the outcome of the current Heritage auction to make my choice, and that's why I give the nod to Bat 1. I'm a Timely fan. My last pickup was a Cap 3. I badly wanted Cap 1 to win this fight, but it just didn't. Not in the Heritage duel between the two. Although I agree that Cap 1's cover wins by a nautical mile, I can't agree about the book content. I put them at even. Long term, I think the Batman movies have shown resiliency thru a parade of actors. It even survived Michael Keaton. Batman movies will keep coming, and new Batman fans will be generated with each new movie. The resiliency of Captain America movies is untested. Chris Evans is great, and I hope he never leaves. But he will at some point, and then the question is whether or not the next guy will meet acceptance. I'd like to think yes, because then just like Batman, we will continue to grow new enthusiasts. p.s. I just put up the emoji to Filter81's Bat 1 this morning
