I'll have to go with the first Green Lantern also. Although the Sandman book is tempting.

Today I recieved one of my top 3 all time favorite visits from Fed EX.

These two beauties came in 1 box. The #33 leaves me speechless.

I thought the "Forgot" story continued in another issue

but I may have confused it with the "Sandman" story in issue 6.

... or I read the same story twice and forgot.

Wouldn't it be great if Bozo visited the castle of this Sandman:

Thanks I think that was what actually pushed me to buy it...I really liked the ape...

 

Not the blonde?

 

Leave him alone. I want a Jumbo 99 b/c of the ape too

 

No, actually wasn't the blonde..blondes are a dime a dozen...apes are hard to come by..and that is a cool looking ape.. (thumbs u

 

Maybe I'll start an ape cover thread..I do have a few of them that happen to not be Jungle or Jumbo either...

Unless you read Silver/Bronze DCs.

But I prefer the lion on 114 to the ape of 99.

here is a shelf next to my computer in my warehouse office, picture taken 5 minutes ago via my trusty cell phone (quality stinks!):

 

We may have to get you an intervention...

I crack three slabs in the morning.

I crack three slabs at night.

I crack three slabs in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright

I crack three slabs in time of peace, and three in time of war

I crack three slabs before I crack three slabs,

And then I crack three more.

Cap. Just because.

These covers are attributed to Baker according to Alberto's article in A-E #47.

If the top one's Baker, he had a terrible inker. I'm not certain it's him. The bottom one definitely looks like Baker's work.

There are some interesting things happening on that Wild Boy cover.

 

I'm confused !?!

 

Well, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and this may be purely coincedental, but given Baker's history with such things, this was probably intentional.

 

You have way to much time on your hands, Dr. Wertham.

Recent acquisition..

 

 

Darn nice looking giant!

 

Ever notice how on virtually every hand that Baker drew, the two middle fingers are together and the other two fingers are spread out.

Fred Astaire also used that technique when he danced. He thought it made his hands look shorter. Disney always chopped one finger off. And I guess he thought that made it easier to draw. Baker used all four fingers when the characters were holding a gun.

It's easier to draw three fingers than four. Baker (and other artists) put the two middle fingers together. Disney merely dropped the fourth finger. (Probably because he could.)

While not technically a GA book, you guys will have to suffer my countdown...14 more to go:

Not a problem. But we do want to see a group shot 14 books from now.

Batman 1. I've wanted one since I was a kid.

Damn Richard you are on fire!!!!!!!

Actually I just farted

 

Your all gas Mr. Bedrock!

Fixed (thumbs u

Too much Shiner Bock and hot Texas BBQ sauce?

'Tec 38. Larson pedigree, first Robin, a story I happen to like a lot. The other book is nice, but it's mostly a pretty cover.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself (thumbs u

Thank you. Sometimes I think I'm the only person here who really likes 'Tec 38. I'd rather have that than most of the pre-Robin 'Tecs. (Except 27, of course.)

That Superboy....he's such a joker:

 

 

What's with that image on the backside of Superboy's adversary? Subliminal images? Was Wertham right?

Arrgh! Early Action v. Hitler cover!!!!

I don't collect Action or Cap, but I like WWII history, so I'll have to go with the Hitler cover.

(I'm happy to see this game is back!)

 

A-1 has an eBay store with lots of GA in it. I know he has a bunch of low to mid-grade Fox GGA, but probably not the early ones you're looking for.

 

 

A-1 has a mere fraction of their inventory in their eBay store. They had 10 times that at SD Con. (thumbs u

 

True, but A-1 is my LCS and if you guys buy up all their stock, where am I going to get my GGA GA?

 

At least you have a decent comic shop nearby like A-1 Comics.

For which I am always grateful. There's actually three or four comic stores closer to my house than A-1, but I go the extra distance because of A-1's quality, (clean, well-lit), service (they'll pull newstand books for customers that they think customers might want and don't complain when you turn it down), and selection.

Thanks. All the GGA covers for Seven Seas are tough and always go for a multiple of guide. Of them, #5 is the easiest. Heck, Metro has about four or five overpriced copies gathering dust on their website. In my opinion, I think #4 is the hardest. This #3 is a minor upgrade

(my undercopy just got posted in the FS section). Of the non-GGA covers, #2 is the easiest to find due to the lousy cover, but the insides are much better.

Someday I will complete my run. 50% there!

This arrived in the mail yesterday:

Still looking for a 1, 4, and 5, but recent financial bad news will delay purchases in the near future.

Bob, incredible haul!

 

Those are real beauties. I wish A-1 had a GA book web site. Did they have much of an early Fox selection?

god no! no parachuting clowns allowed in this room, exluding myself of course.

I believe I have found one of the few things that strikes terror into a troopers soul.
