Thank you! I agree and dig this cover quite a bit too. They got a bit more experimental at the end of the sixties with different techniques. Steranko did quite a bit as well. Btw, your Rocky Mountain copy is sweet!!!

Thank you so much! It's still quite the work in progress …..

Thanks Ameri Sweet copy of 38!!! It's a very colorful cover and so finely detailed. Please keep me in mind should you come across any for sale.

Thank you for not pushing the price higher It's a great book! I sold a blue label 2.0 to a friend around 5 years ago. He had me crack it out for him, which gave me the opportunity to thumb it up. One of the best adventure themed More Fun covers in my opinion. 42-48 are all very solid but I suppose I'd eventually like to have 42-51. 51 is a great Moldoff cover. 49 looks like Guardineer to me but I don't see a signature on it.

Happy to win this gem last night!!! Shocked I was able to win both Flanagan More Funs in one weeks space of time. Now I suppose I better start looking for Adventure 36-39

I was happy to win this last night!

I DID see them both in Clink. The New Adventure is really tough to find. The More Fun 48 I've seen several of lately. If you have the time, a New Adventure 26 in 5.0 universal ended on eBay today for $7600. It's worth checking out! VERY tough Flessel cover book!!!

Thank you! These are kinda tougher to find, but most Silver Age Marvel issues were printed by La Prensa for distribution in Mexico. I am slowly building a set to match my Marvels.

An upgrade copy with blazing colors!

A new addition to the collection!

My only copy of one of the records. These are findable and fun!

For those who also love these books, here's something a little …. different. It's actually a Mexican Edition of Doctor Strange #1. Same cover as Doctor Strange #169 with a Spidey signal face thrown in for good measure.

THIS arrived yesterday and it's one Flanagan off my list now! Quite an uncommon book too, in that there are only 4 universal copies and 2 restored copies on the census!

THIS showed up yesterday and it's one that I've been looking for!

Snagged this copy from Metro on Friday! Can't wait to get it!

I took the opportunity to look at Metro's weekend sale list …. didn't find anything there, but it occasioned me to look the site over to see if this weekends complimentary shipping would be of some advantage and lo and behold, there was THIS little gem sparkling among it's much more expensive collection mates! This checks a LOT of boxes for me: Early Golden Age, period correct police officer in pursuit of wrong doer, from the collection of Jon Berk (an awesome fella), Lamont Larson copy (with Lamont's name on the cover), certified nice grade, straight WHITE pages and a price that was just too sweet to resist!!! Are ya ready for this (in my best Regis Philbin impression)? This beauty only set me back $180!!!! As stated earlier, shipping is free this weekend at Metropolis, so it's worth a peek I'm glad that I looked!

I agree. That's why I thought to pose the question to the gang here, to see what others were thinking about it. I'd forgotten that there was a thread just for Flanagan. I will check that out. His style is very appealing and it's a welcome companion to the Flessel, O'Mealia and Guardineer offerings. Flessel just breezes through humor, light-hearted adventure, serious adventure and detective genres with such skill. Something for everyone in his portfolio.

I may be alone on this, but sometimes I buy books that are well below the grade range I want them in, just to get ANY copy. As a testament to Flessel's fantastic cover, it seems as though someone really wanted to either keep or do something with the cover of my copy! Oddly, the back cover is fully attached at the staples and the book is in really nice condition, beyond missing most of the front cover that is. The repro helps me remember what the cover is supposed to look like. It's only a reader ….

RHG, I've been wondering if this cover had been confirmed as a Flessel? No copy I've seen appears to be signed (the signatures DO get cut off sometimes). With the discovery of John Richard Flannagan as a previously unknown cover artist who didn't sign his work, do you think this might also be one of his? Anyone else with an opinion on this, please feel free to chime in.

A favorite cover and an all around awesome book! Not the best pic but I'm still half asleep so

This threads needs a bump! I've posted this elsewhere, but it fits here too.

Option #1

As crazy as it seems, I remember thumbing up that Spidey 59 when it was raw! Proof that you CAN look at a high grade book without damaging it (if you're careful )!!!

I'll give this a bump in case someone missed it. 4 books still available.
