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.

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. #11 # 20

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

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.

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

Excellent run of GK Tarzans. (thumbs u # 9 # 5

Here then are a few more of my Dr. Solar comics: 8 9 10 11 12 Suberb run of Dr. Solars.

I love all three of those titles, but sadly I have too few Little Dots and no Blondies or Stumbos at all! That's a character flaw I'd like to work on over time. I fondly recall reading those Stumbos as a kid, but do not have any in my collection now. I will have to check and see what I have in the way of Harvey's that would be worth posting.

Great pickups. (thumbs u Keep em rolling.

Ditto on the Dr. Solars. # 1 January 1964 Pencils: Morris Gollub (painting) # 2 February 1963

Wow, this thread's growing exponentially. Terry and the Pirates, excellent books.

This thread needs a bump. I seem recall being a bit hesitant to buy these comics as a kid. They were not Marvel, nor DC, and the dialouge seemed to be typewritten and oversized. However those painted covers really stood out. #33 April 1969 #16 March 1967

Amazing copy, that book looks to be as fresh as the day it was printed. (thumbs u He has many more in that kind of shape. He's like that you know. A co-worker? Where do you work, a comic shop? I don't believe I'd get any bids to purchase were I to display my comics at my office. I dont work at a comic book shop. I have brought books in to work a few times over the years, but only once did someone express interest in buying books. The man in question had a excellent collection of Morgan Silver dollars. In fact he had several albums full of them, so he was a collector at heart. I wound up selling 3 or 4 S.A. books to him. Even he was taken by surprise at how quickly the cost of the books mounted up, as he originally wanted to buy every book I had brought into work. I have noticed Steelcity has some fantastic books, along with Hepcat, and a few others. (thumbs u

Hepcat, Thanks. Now if I could only drop my golfing hobby, I could pick up better quality books. I recall a co-worker talked me into selling him this issue a few years ago. I had sellers remorse and found another copy quickly.

Amazing copy, that book looks to be as fresh as the day it was printed. (thumbs u

Somehow I had missed Action #282. DC beat the Terminator to the punch by over 20 years (skin over steel) Not sure what Superman is thinking here. It looks to be a pretty crowded flight.

Completely true. Especially if you like to read the books, then you can buy mid-grade copies on the cheap and go to town. (thumbs u Agreed, sometimes Wings books are priced very reasonably in autions. I paid under $20 for this book last year. The book does have a light 2 1/2 inch crease in the lower right hand corner, otherwise it would have been around VF-.

I dont believe this cover has been posted recently. #20

Hepcat, Those are some stunning copies you have. I am amazed at the great covers of this run. I had not paid too much attention to this title until recently... thanks to your posts. I briefly checked the GCD site and found Kirby did two covers, 11 # 12.

Back to DC for GIC 190 Cover by Luis Dominguez. Haunted tank story art by Glanzman.

It is amazing how much Charlton was able to improve overall on it's covers from the mid S.A. to the B.A. (thumbs u
