I can't decide whether this cover is terrible or awesome. What do y'all think?

Tiny Tot Comics was a very early E.C. title.

"Your First Comic Book".

This was about as close as it came back in the early days of SDCC. And, frankly, I was a little intimidated...

Fellow in the picture is the artist closely associated with Red Sonja, Frank Thorne.

Terry Stroud and Stephen Stroud told me this Easter 1971 flyer was 1 of the first comicons they sold at in Anaheim, not San Diego.

 

Great guest line up, but who on earth is "Carmen Infantino"?

Same user name.

Is there any way to recover content posted? I've tried the usual suspects, but still nada.

Always thought "Baby Weems" was the inspiration for "Baby Herman" in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

That aside, very nice book.

I can only tell you what I was told, from someone who knows the owner well, and that is, that he has a history with CGC (working with them, a positive one). I can't remember his name though, this was years ago, they've been operating for some time now.Their cases are very good. Very high quality. 

Grant Adey.

No longer involved with Halo but still has a comic shop in Brisbane (last I heard).

2022 was awesome for selling, one of the best years ever, but was butt for collecting. Maybe 2023 will be better. 

Here are few things I managed to add. 

Wait a minute here - stay in your lane please!

Kidding.

Great books, Marvel Mystery 41 is a stand out and this Silver Flash is in astonishingly good condition.

I have never seen this comic. I think you're right regarding rebound remaindered copies - no indicia and the fact VERY few comics here were printed in colour - except for Disneys.

"I Aim at the Stars",  Werner von Braun's biopic, quite accurately had a tag added during production as "But sometimes I hit London"

What a lot of GREAT junk. Looks like a fun outing.

Book's a Golden Records Reprint too.

Used and am still using these to keep track:

Still, this thread is about the imagination stage of the hunt. An ASM129 like the one shown is an absolute grail for me. (First Swamp Thing & Ghost Rider would be amazing too) I remember someone on the boards describing the incredible quiet moment when you are digging through a bin and find a dream book. The adrenaline rush would be off the charts  

The thing is, southern cross's books came to him, at the LCS. Unexamined/unsorted.

What's the likelihood that a store's stock is similarly unchecked?

I'm about to take an interstate holiday to a isolated regional area over here known as Tasmania. The small city we are staying in has a shop which sells back issues. Fingers crossed I find some gold 

Good Luck!

My guess? Scores of British Commando Comics, Battle Picture Library and War Picture Library.

"Pop's Vacation" appeared in The Kilroys #25.

Where did you get #27 from?

Oh, and GCD does not show that that story has  been reprinted anywhere.

I am leaning towards your book being rebound "leftovers". The Hopalong Cassidy book had a Canadian version.

This "hobby" has now reached peak stupid.

Told a lie. Last seen in 2019 at Sydney Supanova.

Happy 60th, Harley. 

Anyone know if he ever went to a con in Australia? Would have been over a decade ago, probably approaching 2.

Harley has been attending Australian conventions since 1992. The last time I saw him was 2014 at Supanova in Sydney - the Stan Lee appearance.

Thank you for sharing those Rich. I try not to covet the wonderful acquisitions that other people make, and just be happy for them, but I'll admit I'm struggling with this one! Some of the MMW copies I own are among my favourite collection items, and having those early ones in really nice condition and in a format that makes handling easy... OK, I'm jealous.

Here are my two favourites, which fit in nicely with other patriotic Disney covers I own. Your volume 2 would contain the first of these.

 

I've been looking at this cover for a while. Every character overjoyed that VE day is here at last.

Except for Minnie Mouse. She looks pie-eyed by comparison.

Mickey is displaying the standard Churchill "V for Victory" signs via his fingers. Minnie is too - on her right hand. Her left hand seems to be an early version of "hang loose".

I think Minnie's been drinking. Maybe Mickey will get lucky . . .

A few of my new WDC&S issues.

 

 

 

Lovely books, AJD, and this cover is a fine example of the conundrum  that the Ducks only ever wear pants when they are swimming.

At all other times they are buck naked below the waist.
