Bat 1 7.0 v. Cap 1 8.5 -- I'm a lifelong Batman fan and am contemplating a Batman 1 purchase, but given those two, I'll take the low end of high-grade Cap 1 over the high end of mid-grade Batman 1. Plus, Batman 1 is much more common. As far as Robin goes, I'll take Tec 38 over MM 9. Robin, love him or hate him, is a significant character. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if not for Robin, Batman wouldn't have made it out of the Golden Age. He needed a supporting cast, especially someone to interact with and Robin filled the void present in Tec 27-37. BUT, as I've said before, once Alfred appeared on the scene, Robin was superfluous. I'd take Alfred as a helper character over Robin any day.

I've been spending way more lately on comics than I should be, but how can you resist a blonde-in-bondage-being-kidnapped-by-a-robot cover? And I understand it was airbrushed by some popular artist.

...and deeper we go..... I sold the slabbed copy at Wonder Con you B.o.n.e.h.e.a.d , if you were as smart as you think you are, you would have figured that out. If I have legal recourse here...I hope all your friends pitch in to help you out You continue to go out on a limb even though nothing was done to you. Even if you are right ( your not however) , you have suffered no damage here? You will know soon enough, I have an email in to find out your exposure here Krypto . You have a huge mouth, I certainly hope you are ready to back it up ?

Or from reputable sellers. There's at least half a dozen GA guys on these boards (and at least one GA gal, too) from whom I'd buy a raw book based only on their representations. That said, cracking an 8.5 and then trying to sell it as a 9.2 isn't kosher. A new member of the probation list perhaps?

Might as well start thinking about selling those Tales of Suspense. GA is addictive.

Thank you. I have a 127 coming from Roy. I'm still looking for a 70. Then I'm done with Jumbo for a while unless the Gerber 9 and 10 drop into my lap.

Exactly. Keep it hush-hush because those early issues are already hard enough to find.

Cross-posted in Fiction House because it's not really a standard group shot. ************************ As many of you know, I've been working on a Sky Girl set of Jumbo Comics. That means, for a long time (years) my significant GA purchases have been Jumbos. I'm two away from the 68-130 run, but too impatient to wait to show it off. So after a few hours of scanning, here's my Jumbo Comics collection:

Since Fight has nothing rare Gerber-wise, unlike Jumbo, I plan to chase the full run. I suspect 31 will be among the last ones I find unless my LCS comes through with one in a collection. The owner knows I'm looking.

Cross posted from the cigar thread: And the splash page from the first Senorita Rio story. No animal print bikini needed here:

Today's arrival: And the splash page for the first Senorita Rio story. Can we say "hubba hubba ding ding?"

My Wondercon purchases: From House of Comics: The B&B 53 is from the Mohawk Valley Collection. Purchased from Superworld: My Harley purchase: Also from Superworld. Ted is a great guy to chat with. I have no idea who I bought this from, but it was one that the girlfriend noticed right after we arrived: And my first Fighting Yank comics. How can you resist a superhero saving a blond in a flowered bikini from being eaten by a rare shallow-water surf shark?

How common is it to see St. John books with the covers blank? Someone else here speculated they could be Canadian editions. Any further information you could provide about that situation to a St. John neophyte?

Nice 27. Glad to see you found one. It's one of my favorite Fight covers.

too damn many damn lawyers on this board. Yep. Absolutely. They're just as bad and dishonest as those comic dealers cluttering up this place. woman had a legal problem, and in the yellow pages found "boudreaux, boudreaux & boudreaux." she called, and a guy answered, "may i help you?" she said, "yes, could i talk to mr. boudreaux?" he said, "oh, he's in court right now." she asked "then can i talk to mr. boudreaux?" he said, "he's in a seminar." she said "then, in that case, can i talk to mr. boudreaux?" he replied, "speaking." A three legged dog limps into a saloon and announces "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw!" I imagine that man was a lawyer. A lawyer, a comic book dealer, a fan boy, and a woman dressed as Harley Quinn walk into a bar. The bartender says "What is this? Some kind of joke?"

Had Superboy read comics instead of being such a goody-goody type who only stuck to textbooks and literature, he'd know that Sky Girl is Ginger Maguire

You can travel to Sacramento without worrying about fisticuffs. I've been through all of Brian's FH boxes multiple times. They're pretty much cherry-picked unless he got a new collection I haven't seen. (And the last collection he got in with FH, I cherry-picked the Planet 29! So yeah, I'm fortunate in that respect.) And speaking of fisticuffs, have you seen this:

That's a nice copy. How about a trade for those New Frontiers? You already have a bright copy, doofus But mine is more orangey than red.

That's how I got mine...

Nice book, but no red dress. It appears she's taking off (putting on?) a green dress. I recommend you send the book to Louise immediately so you don't contaminate your collection.

I got distracted by something shiny. Actually, I got distracted by a redhead. She's still distracting me.

Cheap shot, but... is that French bottled water in the background?
