Hepcat,

Excellent collection of sportscards. I had quite a few of the 61-63 Post Cereal baseball cards, but sold them on E-bay 2 or 3 years ago.

Did you get a copy of Street Survivors album before they pulled the original cover?

I'm a Rolling Stones fan also. (thumbs u

Twas a very sad day when the Lynrd Skynard plane crashed.

I concur. Those rocky covers are just amazing. Thanks for posting them hepcat.

 

If you have time, check out some of the threads in the Silver Age. Hepcat has an abundance of high quality books.

I believe it's time to fire up this thread.

One of the "cooler" panels in the story.

Finally arrived from the great white north...

 

 

There was no back cover scan when I bought this, so this was a nice surprise on the back:

 

Very cool book and in great condition.

Here's a scan of a good Xmas cover:

 

 

Very nice. (thumbs u I have another Frosty FC book. A snowman of many sports.

It's too quiet around here. A couple of Sgt Fury annuals could shake things up.

Posted in another thread not too long ago, but I'm partial to this cover.

I'm not really heavy into crime books. Found this one at the LCS maybe a couple of years back. My lone issue of this title.

# 7 April 49

Here are scans of some Harvey western comics:

 

 

 

 

 

Sweet Those are NICE.

My last Lone Ranger, for the time being.

#58

Back cover scan, no extra charge.

Having just read through a couple of other threads around here, I think I'd rather hang out in a place where someone (correctly) thinks that a Lassie #20 is a great find.

 

And I know there's (now) a SF thread, but these are just the epitome of Atom Age, so I'll post it in its spiritual home.

 

 

I'm no exobiologist, but I really have to wonder how useful flippers are in that enviroment...

AJD,

The flippers must double as fans to keep cool.

Neat book by the way, thus far I have only a few of the early 90's reprints for Weird Science.

Thanks for the Hartman info Scrooge. I like the Lassie also. I'll have to get some of those.

Here are a couple of my Hartman's I recently cracked out of holders but haven't read yet.

 

 

 

Good stuff! I like to hear stories of collectors who MANUP and crack 'em open so that they can actually flip through their treasures.

 

Great comics too!

 

(thumbs u

 

Excellent copies of those two Lone Ranger's damonwad.

Not too mention the information provided on Harman by Scrooge. It's always interesting to get more in depth information on the creative talent behind the comics. (thumbs u

I have a story to relate on Clayton Moore, who played the Lone Ranger in the 50's TV Show. I did not know it at the time, but he lived in Golden Valley MN from 1965 to the early 70's if I recall correctly. See the link below on how Clayton assisted after a robbery occurred at the Golden Valley shopping center. I lived in G.V. from 1959 to 1971, but never did get to meet Clayton Moore.

Another link to Clayton Moore, who also appeared in movie serials featuring The The Perils of Nyokia, "Richard" or "D" Tracy Returns, and Zorro before starring in the Lone Ranger TV show.

Scrooge,

Sweet copy. (thumbs u I took a quick spin through the GCD site and found the artist is either Gollub or "?" through the first 20 issues. Do you have a preference?

Congrats on being just one issue from completion!

damonwad,

Thanks.

I also have #52, even though it's marked #57.

I like the back cover of this issue also.

Hi Andy,

 

I was just re-reading the War report in the 2010 OPG, and noticed you were given a nice mention (pg. 141) on the annual poll for the best War comic cover. (thumbs u I had a thought for something slightly different next year. How about a poll for the best single page out of a DC war book. Just a thought.

 

D.W.

 

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

 

Yeah, it sure was cool to be mentioned in the OSPG. It was a true honour.

 

I love doing the polls/contests, but they're time consuming, and lately I haven't had a lot of extra time.

 

There are a few things that I'm thinking of doing, one of which would be a "best non-greytone DC war" contest. This one makes sense, as it does always turn into the greytones taking over the contest, hands down. It'd be cool to see what prevails without them.

 

Perhaps I'll gear that one up for a February launch.

 

The interior page contest would be neat. I wouldn't consider it to be rude if you wanted to run that one. (thumbs u

 

Happy New Year!

 

Andy

Thanks Andy,

I will see if I can pull off the interior page contest before winter is over.

Nice LR Scrooge, (thumbs u

That reminds me I have this LR ready to post.

I love Mad. Interest in them does seem to be declining though. That's OK. More Mad for me!

I agree. I have not pursued Mad on E-bay very often recently, but when I have the prices for books from the early 60's seem very reasonable, compared to what I remember from about 10 years back.

Back cover of issue # 208

Kubert & Maurer at their best.

 

 

It's another fabulous Kubert cover, that's for sure!

 

(thumbs u

 

Greate cover, plus it's a preview of Kuberts later work on Tarzan in the early 70's.

I love Tor! Seeing yours above reminded of this one, that I got Kubert to sign a little while ago. He was really psyched to see it.

 

Congratulations on owing a signed copy from Kubert. Did you get to meet him in person?

Post the others :thumbsup:

Lone Ranger #14. I have a few more of this series, but this is my favorite despite the obvious flaws.

 

I see no flaws. Just a comic that somebody loved so much they read it a couple dozen times (thumbs u

Thanks!

I've often wondered how the Lone Ranger's sleeve stays so dry, not to mention his six gun on this cover.

I don't know, but for whatever reason I like these photocovers:

Agreed, I think I had nearly forgotten how pretty she was.

My lone example of this title to date.

# 55 - April of 55

As much as I like the painted Lone Ranger covers, I particularly like the line-drawn Gollub (?) covers in the early part of the run (1 - 31).

 

The Lone Ranger 4's stories end on the back cover but by 13, Dell had started to run a back cover pin-up in the same fashion they were for the Tarzan run.

 

Nice examples of the early Lone Ranger. (thumbs u I will have to take a look, as I know I have one earlier issue that has an Indian chief on the back cover.

I stopped in the LCS today, and found they also had issue #1 of Thrill-O-Rama.

The man called Fate looks a bit like the Nightcrawler.
