Gold Key had quite a few series I'm learning..

In 1962 Western Publishing dropped it's partnership with Dell Comics & launched

Gold Key as it's own brand of comics.

The Beagle Boys had their own title for 47 issues. This series ran from 1964 to 1979. This was followed by a second stint of 12 issues in 1979 and 1980, also by Gold Key.

I did eventually "win" LG copies of Spaceman #1 and #2.

The splash page from #2.

It would be a greater addition to my collection!

Silver .. aw shucks, I thought you had em all.

I have been trying to track down a decent issue of this book for years, but w/o any luck. I did bid slightly over double the OPG guide on one about a year ago, but was out bid.

Awesome

One of my favorite Superman covers....usually found in beat beyond recognition condition....or occasionally (very) in 2X Mortgage High Grade. It's a hundred bucks in OSPG VG......I found this one at the Richmond show from Wes Hagan(?) as a VG due to a moisture stain right corner....colors really pop....my kinda book.He had some of the prettiest 50's D.C.'s I'd seen in a while....real nice 6.5 to 8.0 stuff. GOD BLESS...

Cool book and great addition to your collection.

Yeah, it was. I enjoyed the first 2 seasons, but lost interest by the 3rd. The 3rd season wasn't that funny, and what humor there was seemed forced.

I also remember enjoying My Favorite Martain. The TV show that really faded fast for me was "Land of the Giants".

On the other hand they pulled the plug too quickly on "The Time Tunnel".

Got these at the Richmond show this weekend, from Guy Rose. The Fight has 2 Kamen stories and 2 Baker stories according to OSPG. The Planets are always cool, but this 53 is neat....an SOTI book with stories by Whitman, Evans, Baker, and a couple others I don't recognize. It missed having an Ingles story by a couple months. The 72 is missing a bean sized chunk from the back cover spine all the way to the centerfold where a Mylar tradgedy occured...otherwise a 9.0. Unlike most of Guy's books, this one was pricey even with the flaw....but it seems to be hard to find above fine. His other books are usually priced very fairly....cheap in many cases. GOD BLESS....

Awesome books Jimjum. I was fortunate enough to snag a copy of Planet # 53 last year. Issue 72 isnt anyting to sneeze at either. (thumbs u

I have a couple of the splash pages from #53 to share.

Thanks guys,

Scored this one in a non local comic book shop, back in 99 or so. GGA was in full swing at this point in the Wings series.

Here are scans of my next two Aquaman issues:

 

 

 

Hepcat, I just checked on this thread today. Awesome run of Aquaman books you have.

About 10 years ago a local LCs had a #5 in about VF, I'm still kicking myself for not picking up that book.

It appears the 3 Nazi soldiers next to the tank have not spotted Sgt Fury and company.

I was surprised to find a book in this condition at a LCS, and quickly snapped it up.

I thought I would work in a Halloween cover? Tis another rag-tag survivor of the comics I've owned since I was a youth.

 

 

Cool! I never even realized that title had survived to the Silver Age! I'm more a fan of Nancy's aunt Fritzi Ritz though than I am of Nancy:

 

 

If you like the Rocky Gold Keys, you might like these as well:

 

 

 

 

I can see why you might be a fan of Nancy aunt Fritzi Ritz. If I recall, Nancy and Sluggo # 190 is about 2nd or 3rd from the end of the entire run. I have one issue of the Sparkler, an early example of the Nancy & Sluggo phenomenon. I will have to post in a G.A. thread at some point.

Great Terry Toons books, epecially the "Summer cruise" issue.

Brainiac bottled these folks up in City of Kandor but Superman takes the heat.

What is the highest graded copy of this book?

A check of the CGC census shows 2 issues at 9.0 and 1 restored to 9.0.

There is 1 issue at VF+ and 5 at VF.

of the comics I've owned since I was a youth.

Any Star Wars/Mad magazine enthusiasts out there?

Fabulous pickup Hawkman. Congrats on landing such an outstanding copy.

I traded a long box full of comics from the 80's and 90's for this book and From Beyond the Unknown #3, about 8 or 10 years ago.

I agree. Here are more:

My hats off to you, wonderful copies.

Fantastic copies. I was impressed by those Captain Ventures also. I had not heard of that title before.

A couple more Space Family Robinsons.

# 20

Non Space Ranger "book end" covers, just before and after issues 40-82.

Cool! The #20 is one of the ones I don't have.

 

Here are a few more:

 

 

 

Northland copy

 

 

Beautiful copies, especially the 23.

I gave my copy of #23 to a cousin a few years ago. He was about 13 at the time. I do recall asking my uncle if his grandson ever shared the comics I donated. He replied that they were well tucked away for safekeeping.

Some observations about the covers I posted:

 

Have you ever seen a pink room before on a comic?

 

Why is Pa Kent still wearing a tie?

 

If the box of marshmallows are full, where did the one come from on the skewer? For that matter, who eats roasted marshmallows in their living room?

 

Murphy Anderson can draw women....baby got back

 

Would you really leave your non super powered young son sitting on a fence while you just flew off with his super powered brother?

 

Just some of the thoughts of a silver age DC collector...

 

Ahh the powers of observation.

In Superman #89, one wonders why Superman had to lift up the corner of the building, when he was noted for digging at super speed.

I watched a show on the making of Animal House recently. They assembled the cast and let them party on campus for a few days to get into the right frame of mind for the movie.

The front and back covers of Mad # 207. June 1979

Tarzans first GK is a good cover too.

 

 

Excellent run of GK Tarzans. (thumbs u
