Superman Comics #14 cover

Superman #14 is a great cover for sure! My personal favorite is #17, just because of the political climate of the day. Nothing as much fun as seeing Hitler and Hideki Tojo being "rounded" up by Supes! See following for both covers as attachments:

The "now non-collectors" can click on the link that reads "CGC >> Gold Comics". If people cannot even decide a general genre to pick to collect, how are they ever going to decide upon a publisher or title or favorite character? The Golden Age will never be forgotten, my friend. Someone new collecting walks into a comic book shop out of curiousity. "What's the most valuable comic of all time"..."Action Comics #1, from 1938." Also, if they hop into this forum, what's generally the thread pushed to the top? "Have a Cigar". Not so in the general forum, I'm afraid. Actually, you bring up another good point. I absolutely want new collectors collecting books, but after flipping through some "moderns" I'm not sure I want those types of books to be continually published. So ad ridden, 2-3 dollars a book, very little actual content. The complete commercialization of comic has long since occured, and if that "new collector" wants to buy a comic, why not pick up a nice back issue from around 1985 or earlier? Do not read this as I want the new comics to NOT be published; I'd just like to see a concerted effort getting back to full-length stories and characters, incorporate fewer ads, lower the price (aren't most of them on 100% recycled paper?), stop the "hologram variant cover edition / "First Issue" (actually the 5th recycled first issue) garbage.

Well, I, for one, am glad to see my favorite genre of books (1930-1955) all in the same room. Love the Daredevil! Was that before or after the Superman cover with a similiar scene? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what does a Crowley Daredevil go for in those grades on average?

Those Zip Dicky stories are phenominal; albeit extremely racist. The artwork is quite crude, but the adventure side of the stories are so fun to read! Great stuff!

Got this in today! Don't even ask; I'm "deflowering it" as we speak! Free the slabs! Free the slabs!

Does that 60+ year-old CGC 4.0 say "Off-White Pages"? Yeah! And so does my Pep #1 !!!!!!!!!

What, no Archie Andrews here in 50 years?! GASP....!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to send you a link (offline) to my MLJ marketing information; this will totally help you understand what these items have fetched on EBAY.... Check your PM...and don't give what I send you out to anyone...

I would say if you can find them, Pep Comics 22-49 in high grade always go way over guide, and is pure Americana. Same goes for the first 10 issues of Archie, if you can find them!

Let's use this area to showoff our new recent Golden Age books! Of course you'll see MLJ mostly from me, and early Archie stuff. Got this in the mail today, graded as a VG+. Book looks nicer, but there is a "spot" on the back cover that lowers the grade. My favorite type of defect; high grade with one flaw keeping it lower.... First story is great; it features Captain Flag rescuing an American journalist on 'Devil's Island'. I did some research while reading the story, and in fact, the Nazi's had used this island for a prison during the war. Great stuff!

The only thing funnier than Bug's statement is the fact that the starter of this thread was " ***DONOTDELETE** "...who, of course, had his account deleted. Oh, the irony.
