Straw-Man

Paul, are you collecting this guy yet? just went up on group shot, and he swam over here for love as well. To get that photo were you doing that ceiling hanging trick your brother Peter taught you? Nice run Parker! nah, the only thing he taught me was that thing with the liquid webbing.

Subby for me all the way. He is my favorite Timely character well, in that case, i offer you this, and i trust he's your favorite Atlas character as well:

here's another complete run, but not all slabbed. it's that water-guy.

I'd choose the Marvel Mystery without a moments hesitation. What a fantastic cover! true BZ, but did you see all those question marks and that amazing little wire contraption on the detective? want to reconsider?

great stuff!!

and i just love this funny book.

Damn you all - I don't need another title to start collecting know the feeling; i decided i liked the painted covers on some ziff-davis titles, and these two came in today. gotta have the whole, short run now.

steve, looks like i've contracted it as well; going after the first 12 mystery men now, since mrbedrock put me on to my second one the other day. Ahhh, congrat's Billy - I thought it was a real beauty and was sorely tempted to get it myself (but then I'd be back in the Greedy SOB thread with two pedigree copies of the same book, and we can't have that!). STEVE steve, one of mine is an allentown, and the other is of course the nova scotia of which you speak--since you know this area well, what are the chances i could find recognized p'grees of the other 10? i guess the 1 would require a third mortgage on the house [second was for the marvel 1, natch].

the rare white pages crippen; well done, sir.

that fonky staple sure isn't hurting anything with it in a slab, now is it? about the best looking 6.0 on record.

what a beaut!

great eye!

That's the same way Billy Parker started out. So look at his collection and see yourself in ten years! A broke, surly, bitter old man with one incredible assortment of comics! you may be right; and don't call me Surly!

here's a little group i put over on the gerber 7 thread a little while ago; in keeping with the 'got it from bedrock' theme, i do believe that 2 came from you, sir.

and ryan, put this bad boy over on the new gerber 7 or rarer thread while you're at it.

just too cool ryan.

one-too-many-zeroes typo on the cap 10? or did you really try to slide a silver age book by us?

that's cool!

here's a nice MM requested by my friend Fazybones.

you better like them, since a good 15 or more came thru bedrock city over the years! oh, and thank ciorac [who no doubt is thumbing up books right next to you as you read this] for putting a good dozen or more in the picture as well.

MARVEL-ous, Mike!...Simply MARVEL-ous! GE a few more of these; just stuck this over on timely thread, but it's a fit here as well.

you've inspired me to go to the bank MrB---1 + 91= [/img] pardon the quality of the group pic; i tried, repeatedly, to make it better. i need ciorac over here. Pons, if you can improve it remotely like you did once before, be my guest.

very pretty copy.
