I'd be curious to see who voted in each age group. I'll be 50 in November, for the record.

I feel like a regular ol' whippersnapper.

Here's a new addition to the X-Men collection. 

Very nice!  I've always loved that cover.  It feels ahead of its time.

As an aside, if the Detective's name is Flake Cantina and he only agrees to take the case if you video chat with him, there is nothing to be suspicious about! 

Just email his business associate who shares the same email address for references. 

You could do worse than Flake Cantina for a name if you're impersonating a 70's TV detective.

Love this Bernie cover..  It’s like DC lost its mind with the banner full of text and floating heads in a few titles of the early 70s.  The Adams covers on Justice League in 70 and 71 and then Detective in 72.  Not sure what they were thinking?

Yes, such an odd design choice. I've often wondered how the artists felt having their art not displayed to its fullest.

Like KCOComics said, we'd really need to see the full book, but with a split of that size I think you would really struggle to get anything above Good.

Pretty sure that's fake and I'm grading the finger nail 0.5 

The thing I hate about when characters go into public domain is that it seems that everyone's bright idea is to simply create horror movies based around the character. Maybe that will be less so with characters who have had all genre of story written about them including Elseworlds that were often radical departures, but I'd still put my money on the first PD movie being Supes and Bats vs. a slasher.

Remember this ad back in the 70s? As a kid in the 70s, comic books is like a box of chocolates,  You'll never know what you're going to get.

Wonder who were the target readers...and who was crazy enough .....

Okay today was one hell of a mailcall.

Great haul!

A hugely unappreciated artist. May he rest in peace.

Destroying covers/books to fleece people out of money.  Sounds like a great chap.

Roy Thomas editing a magazine with ego in the title has always been a little too on the nose for me.

Are they owned by the same people as Dynamite or are they related to each other in some way?
