He was so popular even his friends had comics.

For sure.

Yea for sure it will take some serious luck to find even coverless copys of some of them like Reform School girl, Clue, and Adventure 37 and even still cost a small fortune. I'm having fun with the cheaper ones like these right now though.

The great part is he kept them all in a yellow envelope which seems to have been ideal because for the most part they stayed very bright and white in the colors. Been trying to find coverless and very low grade copys to match and marry with a little success. Posted those in one of the married book threads here also.

Found these covers in my friends dad's house after he passed away. I'd say at least half of them were Avon/Realistic covers and can see why he kept them all those years. Really cool stuff.

Suprise pick up from the LCS today. Small spine split but presents nice.

Busy weekend. Playing catch up again.

Had and interesting conversation with a gentleman who said he was the nephew of Flessel a few months back and wanted to buy my cover of Adventure 37. He was thinking it was one of his Uncles covers but I said that I thought it was a Flanagan. However after doing more research I found there were lots of sources that said one or the other and told him I couldn't be sure. He then came back and said he found out for certain it was indeed a Flanagan and had a brief discussion on how similar their styles were and how there was probably some cross-influencing going on there. Anyway heres a pic of my Adventure 37 cover and if anyone know where I could find a coverless copy please DM me.

I'd take the middle one. If a book has those deep colors, it is more important to me than small defects and even centering to a point.

Oh yea your right. It looked like part of the thing but now that you point it out i totally see it.

Now that's a nice copy!! Possibly Medusa is hanging from a helicopter but the real question is how is the Thing putting his hands through the closed window without breaking it.

Nice! Those were the days. Wish I had bought more back then.

I'm envious of those 41 and 42. They look real nice and I still need to pick up the pair. I do have a decent copy of 38 though.

I did pick up this one about a month ago actually. Still need the Paste Pot Pete issue.

Also some full storyline pics. Ive got some of the others also but still need to find, dig them out and take pics of them.

Have a very early memory (probably around 6 years old) of reading an FF story in some bronze age book and thinking the F4 were doomed for sure. The Frightful Four were just too vicious and tricky to ever be defeated then Mr. Fantastic found a way to reverse those levitating disks or something and won the day. Super happy to finally get the first appearance of those truely Frightful to a 6 year old characters. Hopefully someday I'll be able to afford to upgrade it but this one presents pretty decent at least.

What about Reform School Girls. I know it's designated as a Classic Photo cover but probably deserves to be on any Classic cover list. "Not mine, photo taken from the web"

Just got this in the mail and very pleased on how nice this one presents The original appears to possibly be a remandered copy with the top front cover torn off? I toyed with putting my extra front cover behind it but i couldnt line up the ropes and the extra cover is so much more white that I decided to just lay it on top. In the bag this way it presents very nicely i think.

⅝Picked up this low grade copy of Two Fisted Tales 30 last week for a song and lay my much nicer cover on top. Result was a pretty decent presentation of one of my favorite war covers ever.
