    Just listed more books, to include a National Comics #18

     

    http://www.ebay.com/sch/paratrooper54/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

     

    sold the National #18...that was fast!

     

    listed tons more though

    Just received it and wished to thank Vaughn (is there a thread for kudos?).

    Good, exactly as described, but in hand it was so fragile I had to apply a little archival tape to avoid damaging it while reading.

     

    Only problem is it leaves me wishing a better grade copy… :(

     

    no need to leave me kudos, everyone knows I'm freaking awesome already! :D

    Our very own Superman.

    1st of a genre

    in Golden Age Comic Books

    Posted

    I wouldn't mind knowing what folks consider the 1st of a genre is. And if there is debate, all the better.

     

    1st Comic:Famous Funnies 1 (?) 1933

    1st Superhero: Action 1 1938

    1st female lead character?: Wonder Woman in All Star 8?

    1st Horror: Eerie 1 (?) 1947

    1st Western: Crackajack Funnies #9 (?) 1939 - 1st cover and app of Red Ryder? or is it Hi Yo Silver w Lone Ranger? or something else.

    1st Sci Fi: Strange Adventures 1? I doubt it, isn't one of the LB Cole classics earlier than 1950?

    1st Cheesecake? (what's the first real headlights, or female suggestive cover? Phantom Lady? Junior?, a Fiction House?)

    1st Romance: Venus 1 (?)

    1st or earliest classic gruesome cover? Bullet hole in the head, acid to face etc.

     

    And any other of the major categories that folks collect.

     

    1st Paratrooper cover: Action 2?

     

    A couple others that aren't as collected as they once were.

     

    1st photo cover:

    1st TV comic:

    1st Funny Animal cover/story: Is it still Famous Funnies 1.

    1st WWII cover? - this might be tough to nail down

    1st Hitler cover?

     

    Here's a few other oddballs that might be fun to search for.

     

    1st Motorcycle cover

    1st Statue of Liberty cover

    1st cover with a television on it

    1st cover with Vampire (or Dracula), Werewolf, Mummy, Frankenstein (Classics?) Zombie, Alien

     

     

    Nope, earliest comic paratrooper I've found was in Famous Funnies Series 1 #1 (1934)

    Post Your ONE-OF-A-KIND CGC SS books, or lone top census CGC SS books!

    These two won't stay alone on census for long, at least till Harmon gets his back.

     

    Buckbiggins Satterfield....what was the print run on these again?

    I have 2 of the Expo #1 covers SSd by Bellman, they were done the year of the show...

     

    :baiting:

     

    Only 55 of the Delbo program covers exist. It was a perk for VIP ticket holders. I think only 3 or 4 went to CGC.

     

    The cover art Jose provided appeared to be a lost Wonder Woman cover from 1978. Amazing that he penciled and inked the thing last spring. For those in the Tri-State area the background is King's Island amusement park and they are on the old Bat Rollercoaster that was torn down.

     

     

     

     

    they left off the best part of that cover :o
