my favorite Batman cover- congrats! looks great

Ciorac- watching your collection grow has been one of the board's highlights over the past months. Thanks for sharing! astounding stuff.

Recent pickup from October (thanks!) This is the 'not Nic Cage reader copy', which I can honestly say is my favorite GA purchase of the last 6 months! Looking forward to starting a run of Planets, now, hopefully some with spines this time.

recent eBay win

"In Fine Condition. Slight Browning of pages, Small spine tears, centerfold page unattatched, otherwise, no restoration, fully readable, and in good condition compared to other copies of the same issue. "

we'll see what's it condition it is REALLY in when I get it in my grubby hands.... I bid on it as if it were a G+ book. So did every other bidder, apparently!

yup- gross = mind boggling good

agro, that collection kicks arse!

here's my $.02. My GA DC collection! Going for a full Action run up to 66, in theory, plus some Superman covers I like...

that's just gross.

is there a story to how you got it?

Thanks. Yeah, his scan was pretty poor. It's definitely rougher than it looks in my scan, though. Regardless, I cannot complain at $170. 'Good' is what it is.

I bought it because outside of the glaring rips and tears on the spine it does show pretty well and wasn't too expensive.

awesome cover! very solid pickup

that is a Quality comic, indeed. Sweet!

I recently sold off a few low-graders that I had

yeah, I saw that thread pop up and considered making an offer for the lot of 'em. That was a very cool run of books.

re: #2, it's possible. My copy isn't accessible right now, so I can't check. I'd also HIGHLY recommend checking out the entire Pacific Comics horror and sci-fi line of anthology books, as they are all of equally high quality. Off the top of my head:

Alien Worlds

Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones

Berni Wrightson, Master of the Macabre

House of Usher 1-shot

then from when Eclipse picked up the rights, Tales of Terror and Elien Encounters- though those are a bit hit and miss. Also Time Warp from DC is an awesome 5-book giant size anthology from early 80s.

awesome collection you have there, by the way. Do you keep unslabbed reading copies as well?

I know this series is borderline copper age, but I have a quick question: Is the cover for #2 (which features a great Wrightson cover) qualitatively different from the other issues? I ask because someone told me that there were considerable more defects on #2 because of the quality of the stock-and I am trying to get the entire 10 issue series in 9.8.

I recall them all being on the same stock until the book switched over to Eclipse with issue 8 or 9. Awesome series, by the way!
