That's a very odd cover

I'm waiting for the Trade paperback to come out. Looks sweet though!

That's a classic. Nice copy too!

I now have the highest-graded War Birds #1 to go with my highest-graded Jet Aces #1. I can rest now.

Thanks - I've had it since it came out. Even though it's lost almost all its value (those once went for $500!), I still love it. Definately a classic (modern) cover.

I got this back from CGC today. I thought it would come back with a higher grade (don't we all). Still, it's the 3rd highest grade to date:

I also got this off Ebay for a great price. Highest graded copy:

I just got my first CGC submission back - a modern & a gold:

I also received this today - highest graded copy:

Thnx - good to see you again too (I always enjoy chatting with fellow Board members).

 

Picking up two scarce books like the Jumbo 12 and Zip 29 helped ease my pain of not locating a single Centaur at the show <sigh>

 

STEVE

Steve - what show was it? I might have gone if I knew about it. Let me know if there's anything in the area coming up.

Welcome! I just turned 33, so it's not just the "old guys" that collect GA.

I'm glad you were able to verify that with him. Thanks for the info - great work!

Love those really early DC comics.

I totally agree!

More evidence of my obsessive-compulsive relationship with New Adventure Comics

I finally get to cross this extremely hard-to-find book off my want list. It's the highest (and only) graded copy & comes from the Northern Lights collection. Unfortunately I'm broke now & won't be buying anything for a while. Oh well, it's worth it just for the creepy guy in the bottom right-hand corner.

Hey I've been looking for that one.

The latest of my number 1's, with my surfing covers, and Flash Comics just because.

 

Sell me that New Adventure!

Man i love that 29 cover.

That was one of my nominees in the cover contest. Hey, speaking of which, shouldn't we be voting soon?

 

Work has been a bear. I will bump the nominating thread soon and give a little more time for nomination before we start the actual voting. Thanks every one for their patience.

 

That's cool - just wondering. I think it would be great to allow some more time for nominations, since we seem to have gotten a couple of new posters in the last week or so.

Nice nomination! I think so many of those pre-hero/non-hero covers get overlooked. Glad to know someone else appreciates them.

That's a great cover: it's got Batman, the Bat-plane, the Bat-mobile & the Bat-signal, all on one cover!

We'll see. I like the New Adventures & non-hero Adventures more than any of the New Comics, so I probably won't go after any of them until I've acquired a good chunk of the later books. Another consideration is $$$ - I'm broke-as-a-joke after those latest three books. I'll probably be slowing way down as far as buying for a while.

Sorry that it's belated, but congrats on your big purchase!

Three more New Adventures arrived today:

 

#16: Not a very "adventurous" cover, but it's the highest-graded copy & used to belong to Ghost Rider himself!

 

#19: With a nice Flessel cover.

 

#29: Another great Flessel cover. The colors are wonderful in person (my scanner does a horrible job).

 

Outstanding!

 

So how many do you have now? Are you going to do the entire run?

I only have 8 issues so far. I just posted a pic in the Group Shot thread. I'd love to have the run, but it's almost impossible. I'm just picking up a book here & there when I can.

It's sure hard to follow some of these fantastic postings, but I'll contribute what I can. I've been on an Adventure binge lately & I don't have a large set, but here's what I have so far:

I've posted all these ashcans at one time or another, but I've never put together a full group shot before, so here it is:

Thanks. It's funny because I've never really been a DC guy, but those early covers are just calling me!

Yes I did.
