Thanks Bro!
I just got my comics back from CGC. Pretty happy with the grades of the two Pre Hero's that I sent.
Fantastic Frankie!! TTA #1 is such a tough book, did it grade out about what you expected? Thanks bro! The TTA I bought raw from Bob Storms. He graded it a fine. He is a spot on grader!

This thread was at the bottom of page 3.
A huge thanks to Adam/Filter. A big upgrade from my overgraded 9.0.
Awesome copy, you gotta love those early Ant-Man TTAs!!!!
-
Here's my baby! I absolutely love the cover of this book. The white letters on the brown and the old school double circling of the bubbles. Awesome! I got it signed at the Calgary Expo.
Great copy!! You see that "double circling" alot on the preheros.
-
Finally in hand, I hope you guys will indulge me a little longer with this book. It's just nice to still be able to find these books every now and then. Not sure if Dale got this out of Gary's collection or not (my suspicion is that it was), but either way I couldn't be happier with it.
Great looking 8.0!
Sweet, love that book!!!
-
Finally joining the club...
Very nice! By the looks of your sig. line,you are in quite a few clubs here.
+1 And always great to see more international collectors!

Recent buys, 2 from the MoonDog PH collection.
Yeah, what a PH junkie! MUST have more.
Hoarder!
Seriously...nice pair of trifectas!
Gorgeous and smoking books!!!
Guess that trip to Chicago didn't turn out so bad after all?

This just arrived in the mail. Needless to say I am really happy to get a copy of this comic.
Strange Tales #1
:Nice pickup, that's a good looking copy!
+1 Super looking book!! 2.0, what's it have, no back cover?
What's up Bro? Thanks guys! I thought the same thing about the back cover...and the seller did not post a picture of the back cover so I figured it had to be a mess. But it's all there.

Book presents great for a 2.0 IMO.

Frankie, gotta be the sharpest 2.0 ever!! A "not completely broken" Hoboken 2.0!!

At long last here is the first batch of pics of my haul. These are all photos off my phone, so bear with them. These three are all at CGC so scans will be provided when I get them back in 3-4 weeks. I scanned my other four books this morning, but don't have time to edit/post them right now and will put them up later on.
Here is the TOS #32 from Dale. I kept this one a bit larger as it is really that pretty. The upper spine corner is the only issue, and it is a major upgrade for a copy I've had for at least 20 years.
Just got my grade on this one, 8.0 OW-W. I'm definitely pleased!
Congrats, one of my favorites!!

One of my favorite JIM covers.
This is a great cover for the following discussion...re the final artwork which is a collaboration.
Ditko or Kirby does the pencils...the "art".
They or others do the inking...most always others. Think assembly line...
Someone else presumably does the colors.
Who decides the colors...did the original artist do a colored "pencil" and they dictated the colors or was there some other formula and handled by someone else? Was Lee involved?
The colorist decides. Most of the coloring in those days was done by Stan Goldberg. He also designed the color schemes of many of the superheros we know and love. Marie Severin and George Roussos were also colorists, but Stan preceded both IIRC.
Stan is also an artist (Millie, Archie et. al.) and is still around and working.
Good info. And great sketch!
Yes, thanks for shedding some light on the subject. (thumbs u The color schemes are so important and so overlooked.

Some sweet STs I just picked up. In general, I've had great difficulty picking up STs in this grade due to all the usual reasons. Very pleased with these:
-
Solid looking raw copy you got there.
+1

I happened to see him speaking about the preheros in one of those history of Marvel shows. He seemed to be a lttlle disdainful about the period, thinking the names of the creatures were all pretty redundant and over the top. Shocking, I know.
He seemed to have a little more self esteem about the Amazing Adult Fantasy stuff he did with Ditko, signing both their names to it. He seemed proud about those books.
-
..... you should see it in person. GOD BLESS...
-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
Send it to me.

That's pretty cool!

That one is mine:
Nice, very solid copy!!

Great books Art, TOS#32 is definitely a favorite of mine! (thumbs u

I've been reading alot of Phillip K. recently. I had started with "Man in the High Castle" a few months ago, which I liked except for the ending. I went on to read a short story collection which contained "The Variable Man", "The Second Variety", "The Hanging Man", all of which I loved. Finally got read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" and was very impressed. A story I hadn't previously heard of, "Ubik", is probably my favorite of the bunch. I'm just blown away by PKD's talent in general, he's even better than the accolades.
PKD was a genius, even if he did repeat himself on occasion. In addition to the ones you mentioned, "A Scanner Darkly" and "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer" are great.
And "Valis" actually changed my life.
Just finishing "A Scanner Darkly" and have heard good things about the other 2 you mentioned. Will definitely check them out! (thumbs u

My latest pickup, in my favorite grade for pre-hero:
A very cool and underrated issue. Nice.
Nice copy!! 7.5 is definitely a great value in terms of eye appeal relative to price.
Can I officially join this club now please?
