This thread needs a

 

I'm finally in the club!

 

It was in my price range and it's got the right eye appeal I'm looking for so I went for it. It does have a crack in the slab, but the book is ok. It's complete, no resto, no tape, no missing chunks, no writing, etc... none of my pet peeves.

 

For a CGC 1.8, I think it looks great.

 

Nice copy and welcome!!

Time for some Easter Island mayhem!

 

....start a pile..... GOD BLESS.....

In case you and Jimbo fail to make a deal,

Time for my re-entry into the Hulk 1 club. This is my third copy of this wonderful purple cover book, and by far the nicest copy I've ever owned.

 

So I have in my hands an Original Owner books of which I am the official second owner. Of course CGC has had it in their hands for a little bit of time, and it's been in a few other peoples hands too during the transaction, but none of those folks officially owned the book. Well I guess the inheriter did?

 

This Hulk 1 comes from a large group of comics out of Hawaii that made it's way to the mainland in Florida. It's my understanding that the owners Aunt brought comics home from where she worked at a pharmacy to the tune of 30 long boxes. When she passed, the relatives received the comics and out of all the books, most 70's-90's. Only a few gems were found including a Hulk 1 and 181 (CGC 9.2).

 

I was lucky enough to get a text from my good buddy Mark1 who came across this Hulk 1 and was going to help sell it on the boards. I asked how much, and then immediately said "I'll take it". Mark1 was a bit surprised as I'm mainly a GA GGA collector and pre-hero TOS completionist, but was happy to help me make the deal. The owner wanted cash and cash only, so I proceeded to send Mark a check, he went to the bank, cashed it and met up to do the deal for me with lots of 100's.

 

I went off to Fairbanks for a hockey tournament and then off to Houston for work. Upon my return there was a wonderfully packed box sitting in my closet waiting for me to open it. After a few days when I finally had a spare moment, I opened the package to find the book had safely arrived and now will sit with my other SA Marvel keys in the collection.

 

The book is unpressed, is extremely bright colored, and most of the defects are non color breaking. To say it has "potential" is probably an understatement, but it's going to sit in this slab next to my TOS 39 for a bit to see if he settles in.

 

I'd like to give a big shout out to Mark1 for the efforts he made to help me in this deal. Lots of money exchanged hands on a word and trust and everything went smooth as silk.Now sadly my scanner isn't too great, but here is my new to me Hulk 1 from 1962.

 

Hey Comicdey! Thanks for the shout out and it was awesome to be involved in the deal for you. I think it's a special copy and haven't seen many copies that look this nice in 5.5. Not one bit of Marvel chipping and the edges are crisp.

 

Now, i'm posting some of my pics of YOUR Hulk 1 because your scanner blows.

 

Enjoy it bro! I almost couldn't pack it up and ship it off to you...it is really sweet

your photo makes the top edge look immaculate, while my image makes it look like it's been chewed on by a dog. In reality, it has general non color breaking bends of the overflash along the entire top edge.

 

Beautiful copy, congrats. That's a great story of its history also, well done.

 

Happy for you Collin! And Happy Thanksgiving to you and all others reading this post!

 

Thanks...I fell off the pre hero and GGA bandwagon for just a moment.

You can always get back on! Terrific copy, congrats!! (thumbs u

Blip! wishes you all a shockingly great Thanksgiving!!!!!!!

It sure does. I have a 9.0 that was the first really nice PH I ever bought (thanks Korvac). That's the book that got me hooked!

Nice monkey for your back!

You have been warned.

I did start going through this thread from the beginning!! Its like you're in my mind!!!

Highest graded. Awesome weirdo cover.

 

Love it!

Purchased a few weeks back, but just slabbed tough black cover, OW pages:

 

 

Sweet copy! Congrats!

 

Speaking of heads...just recently grabbed this in the FS section.

Love this cover! Just finished reading it and the last story "Ted's Head" was a bit disappointing.

However the third story "Who Shall Judge" about a corrupt judge who gets what's coming to him, sports a nasty suicide gunshot to the head panel!

 

 

Great cover by an underrated artist. Love that book.

Look what happens when I start collecting a new genre, I get to see all the books that I never knew existed and are taking a fast liking to!! :cloud9:Great book, BTW!

Wow... amazing books guys John can I be in the will ?

I *am* in the line! To be in his will AND yours!

 

Can I call you papa?

 

 

 

 

 

Wow... amazing books guys John can I be in the will ?

Get in line!!

After years of searching for ANY copy of this book, I'm ecstatic to find this reader copy! And I actually read it!

 

 

Great cover Korvac Saga.

 

Here's my favorite Perfect Crime cover.

 

 

Don't mess with "Little Sister" Lippy!

Great covers on both these books!

Thanks guys, just love this book!! Sweet PC #30, Vault Keeper! I'd love to find another #18 in anything close to that grade! (thumbs u

One I've had sitting around for a few years. I should probably get this slabbed, but I'm too lazy!

 

 

I like the Ditko sig on the fuel can on the back of the Jeep.

 

Ditko!

 

Somebody should do a parody of that parody!!

Great books all, BTW!!

The cover alone is a great read!

The cover's what got me "hooked"!

After years of searching for ANY copy of this book, I'm ecstatic to find this reader copy! And I actually read it!

Here is my copy.

It is a beauty, but has a small area of paper loss on the back cover preventing a real high grade.

 

 

 

Incredible copy!!

Just picked this up.

 

 

Thats a lovely book Chris

 

 

TTA 27 is a tough book to find with nice eye appeal. This book has tremendous eye appeal. A great copy. Congrats !

 

+1000

Wow, very sharp copy!!! Best 7.0 I've seen of this great issue!!! (thumbs u

 

 

 

AGEED! Beautiful.

Strange Tales #158 - 1st Living Tribunal (Full)

 

Great book! My favorite of the post #135 covers.

Great stuff, KirbyJack. Pretty amazing.

 

When Ghost Town calls a pic amazing that's a good compliment !

I felt a surge of pride.

(thumbs u

On this cover Kirby also utilizes human facial features to create a much more compelling and scary creature than if he had just drawn a big beetle. Don't know if anyone ever asked him about this approach, clearly it works.

awesome!

 

+1 Incredible Run. I am totally envious. Congrats !

+2 So many great books, thanks for sharing!!

My run of TTA, The CGC's are all pedigree books except issue 34.

Terrific group shot!!! Australia in da house!!!!!!!!!!

OK, maybe not technically pre-hero since Dr. Droom is in it, but I think it fits here.

 

Amazing Adventures 1

 

Prehero all the way and a sharp copy too!! (thumbs u
