There's a geek! That's a 4 of a kind that is certainly "a peach of a hand!!"

Well that's not exactly the Dakotas, but it may be slightly more northern than Florida. 😉

Ok, because Marvel Mystery is awesome, here's another pretty copy

I'm not sure I trust someone who claims to have never fancied himself Anyway, that's an awesome copy West!!!! P.S. Florida is "kinda" south …

Thanks very much!!! Yours is a stunner as well 😁 They're a tough pair to beat!! I know a couple of southern Geeks that could make it a devastating 4 of a kind

That Stowe Book Shop got some great books!!! Grabbed this copy a few years ago.

A fairly recent purchase. I owned this exact copy over a dozen years ago and I am SO happy to have it back!!! Unrestored 7.5, off white pages.

A fairly recent pick up.

It IS in Spanish and as I recall, they don't list credits for anyone. This pic is the inside front cover & partial first page of the Mexican edition of F.F. 45. From what little it shown, I don't see the credit list they usually have.

Ok, ok a "regular" copy

Another Mexican edition, this one being the F.F. 40 with the D..D. crossover.

Mexican edition of D.D. #13, which actually has the same numbering! Kinda neat

Thanks for the props on the Mexican editions! I really DO feel looking thru them is like being in an old, familiar house and discovering a room you didn't know existed, what with all of the different house ads and some different stories. I admit that I too initially thought it kinda harsh to question the worth of a book someone just posted, but I don't know this boardie and kinda chalked it up to the same way a text message might read "other than intended" due to lack of vocal inflections as when the same thing is said to you in person. I see that he has responded to clarify that he meant no insult and in fact is interested in the book. So no harm, no foul, but I DO thank you for having my back on it!

Thanks! I am having a LOT of fun!

It was such a grand slam! Ditko's style was a perfect match!

Oh and I recently picked up this Mexican edition of this iconic book

According to Parker Procedure, it's time for #14, one of the biggest Spidey books of all time!!! I have since had this one graded (need to snap a pic of it in it's spiffy new slab) and it came back blue 5.0 ow/w pages.

I can't speak for anyone else, but this book has value to me, that's why I bought it. I paid far less than what an American edition of this book in this condition would cost (this is a Mexican edition, but it IS real). I'm glad my posting this book showed you something new, that was my intention, to share it! I'm not sure where you want to look it up, but if you search the title on GPA, it's there (even though they erroneously entered it as a 4.5) and you can even see how much it cost me (less shipping of course). I am very happy to have it.

That's what I mean about the "discovering a room you didn't know existed" feeling. I have a Mexican edition on F.F. 45 which has an awesome D.D. #1 ad inside the front cover.

Indeed it does!!! I don't have a pic of it handy, but it's in there!! It's actually only a one page story, but it's pretty cool

It's an odd observation, I know, but Marvel Science Stories & Dynamic Science Stories are very much a mirror image forerunner to Marvel Mystery Comics & Daring Mystery Comics. Marvel Science Stories #1 debuted in November of 1938. It's third issue was cover dated February 1939, as was Dynamic Science Stories #1. Marvel Comics debuted with a small print run in October 1939, with a larger second printing in November 1939. It's third issue (now Marvel Mystery Comics) was cover dated January 1940, as was Daring Mystery #1. That coincidence always struck me as cool.

Almost forgot about THIS gem.

A GREAT Everett cover, showing that he should have drawn more cover duties on the Subby run!

Goodman started issue #1 off right!
