Haven't posted this one in a long time.

Nice. Dare I say.... Watcher prototype?

Gorgeous copy with bright colors! That one has always been tough for me, and I finally bought a lower grade copy with nice eye appeal just as a hole-filler until an elusive higher grade copy came along. I'd love a copy like yours!
Tell me about it! It seems nearly impossible to find this thing in anything but low-grade.

However, I do think its important to the comic book historian to be able to link these pre-hero "precursors" to the later Marvel characters that would draw inspiration from them. These stories are a great insight to the early days of Marvel.
I have always been a fan of the very early Silver Age Marvel stories and just when I thought I had read all of them, I discovered that there were earlier stories that were drawn by the same artists and written in the same style. When I sought these books out, I realized that there were more to these stories than just fantasy tales - they were a springboard of ideas that would be recycled and refined into some of Marvels most popular characters.

Agreed. It's nice to think that all these big robots share a common lineage.

Awesome books I'd say 6.0 on the 16.
Actually, sold to me as a 7.5 by namisgr. By my estimation, more like a 6.5-7.0.

Acquired this one from the last VCC:
And this puppy just arrived in time for Christmas, courtesy of eBay:

I think these are great books, they just get overlooked by a lot of collectors. But they are as legitimately "pre-hero" as the other 6.

On that, I am in complete agreement.

I actually had forgotten I had placed a bid on this book. I ended up winning it for well under GPA, so I'm happy

Luscious!

Now how about some Stone Men from Saturn prototypes?

Let's give some love for Hagg:

Nice Cabinet, my former Avengers #11 has found a good home
Thanks! It's pining away for more company, though...say for a CGC 8.0 #6,8 or 10?

While I don't have enough of a collection to justify a dedicated room, I do have a "comic cabinet" as part of my media room :
On the opposite wall is the home theater set-up:

Looks like a beauty. Congratulations!
