Great book!

 

Congrats, all of them are beauties.

 

Killer book...but too bad about that writing on the cover!

I know... that pesky little Lamont!!

But... Wolverton...

I am speechless every time I dare to wander into this thread. Some of your stuff leaves the Geppi/Diamond museum left wanting.

 

 

Does anyone know your identity here? I'd assume you would have dealers knocking at your door perpetually if they knew.

 

Wonderful stuff!

 

Roy.

 

From what I recall, a few folk here know BZ's secret identity. The rest of us just call him BZ and wait for the New Year's Party invite.

Just for fun, let's have some guesses of what I paid for this low-grade but complete copy of Long Bow 9, 1952/53, final issue of the series from Fiction House.

The answer is not zero.

 

Jack

 

 

$4.99 plus $6.00 shipping.

Bonus points: It was advertised on eBay as a Fine minus, in great shape except for some minor spine wear and a small chip from the ULC.

This story appeared in what comic?

 

 

Tales for Young and Old by the Brother Grimm, 1819.

Oh, wait. You want a comic. How about "Let's Rip-off the Brothers Grimm Before Walt Beats Us to It Comics and Stories #14"?

Two new additions to my collection this week:

 

Whiz Comics 154 CGC 7.5 Off-White Pages

 

 

Captain Marvel Adventures 50 CGC 8.5 Off-White Pages

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TIMMY!!!

 

Where you been? Can't say hi anymore?

 

I'm collecting Whiz now.

 

What aren't you collecting now? You're going to have to change your name to r1970add.

I give it 3 months in your collection before you sell it.

 

You golden age guys are as fickle with your "grails" as a modern variant collector.

 

Still, a really cool and interesting book.

 

Andy,

 

very true..... though, not all GA collectors, mainly just me and my "grails"

 

this one, this one i plan to have around for much longer......... i know this because there is no other book in the world i would rather have!

 

B.

 

 

It's not just you though. I have noticed a lot of golden age collectors go nuts over a book and then sell it soon after. I am occasionally guilty of it myself...though I only ever had one book that I considered a grail, my Mask 2, and that will never be sold.

 

The one that takes the absolute cake is the guy who made a post about how he had been waiting for a 9.0 copy of ASM 13 for forever, and how this was his grail that he wanted more than anything. The book popped up in the marketplace THE SAME FREAKIN DAY. That one about knocked me out of my chair.

 

It's not the having, it's the acquiring.

Nope, it's the having.

What about the looking?

 

I remember their covers as being more of the dreaded rubber band as weapon type.

 

 

And it looks like when they are through with the rubber band and the garden tool, they are going to have a pillow fight!

Hey! You could take an eye out with one of those rubberbands.

As Mrs. Tracy always said, "It's all in good fun until someone gets a bullet through the head."

These are great posts! How about including the issue numbers?

Uh... let's see....

The Blackout and the Hooks Devlin story are from Fight Comics 28

Velvet first appeared in Jumbo Comics 65

I don't recall which Jumbo the Sheena story is in (sorry)

Sky Girl is from Jumbo Comics 110

Camilla is Jungle Comics 104

South Seas Girl is from Seven Seas 3

And one more, non-Fiction House, but also Baker:

Camilla by Baker.

From one of my favorite Sky Girl stories.

Sheena sans leopard skin. No further comment.

First appearance of Velvet in Jumbo Comics.

Peaches, from Hooks Devlin in Fight Comics. Considering the lousy way he treated her in general, as well as insulting her every story, I'm surprised she didn't dump the *spoon*.

Early Fight Comics during WWII had a feature called "Blackout" which was basically cheesecake with some morale-raising commentary for the boys in uniform. (Like they needed the commentary....)

Did anyone in the Golden Age get tied up more than Ann?

Only here could one say, "I'm admiring Miss America's centerfold" and not get in trouble with the wife.

 

here, and at the home of the guy married to miss america.

Then she'd be Mrs. America.

When you complete March, 1952 any plans to move onto April or skip back to February?

Only here could one say, "I'm admiring Miss America's centerfold" and not get in trouble with the wife.

History is so interesting. I almost feel sorry for the Germans. Lots of subs but not one complete carrier.

Don't feel sorry for the Germans. They had the V-2 which probably made up for their lack of aircraft carriers.

His wife is bananas

 

Good luck, Tom!

That is not news.

 

After five wives, I think I would hang it up.

I do wish Thomas the best of luck.

 

5?

 

I give him credit. Thankfully my second wife is my keeper. 17 years and still ticking

17? Is that her age or how long you've been married?

Not a DC collector but I recently upgraded a copy of my only DC GA run - Leading Comics #1-14 with the Seven Soldiers of Victory and thought I would post. I didn't realize how many yellow covers this run has.

 

 

very cool

 

With the exception of Green Arrow, did any of the other member make it to the DC big time?

 

yeah, d.c.'s next bid-budget movie is about the cowboy guy with the lariat. it's their answer to iron man.

Is it going to be called "The Cowboy Guy With The Lariat"?

That should go over big.

Do Warner got tired of the Dark Knight thing and decided to make Batman III based on the late-1950's Batman comics where he could be in the old west or outer space or ? If the movie poster doesn't feature a shocked Robin in the corner, I'm boycotting.

Price and condition are comparable. Which would you choose?

Boot to the head:

or Bayonet to the gut:

As much as I love Phantom Lady, I'll have to go with the 9.6 Mile High.

It's amazing how similar the Black Bat is to Batman. I wonder if there was litigation over those similarities back in the late 30s or in the 1940s like there was over Superman/his army of imitators.
