+1 Another winner!

 

Thanks David!! It's good to know that SOMEONE appreciates my sarcasm at 2:15 A.M. (thumbs u

It gives one pause to consider if that cover image of Robin being surrounded by a bullseye is an accident ....

first of all, fantastic books everybody. I mean no disrespect, they are just beautiful. But, I can't help but note that bondage covers work better with damsels in distress IMO than with cowering sidekicks. I'm just sayin'.

 

Your mileage may vary

I know Billbo. The dyed in the wool DC man that you are MUCH prefers Robins ability to get to the "bottom" of things, as on the cover of Batman #7

I agree Bronty. I can only guess that Schomburg was attempting to mix it up a bit. I HAVE heard collectors complain that his covers became too "similar" after a while. Either way, at least we were spared seeing Toro's face thrust between some bad guys butt cheeks ala Batman #7 (thumbs u

mm 7, 7.5.

 

That's a beauty and always a personal favorite

I picked this up a few weeks ago, so I'm broke now, but who cares

 

 

My friends scanner sorta gives it a washed-out look. It's much nicer in person

 

love it jimmy!

Thanks Billy boy!! Let me say that your run of Marvel Mystery Comics has been a joy to see on these here boards!! It's a RARE treat indeed to see the entire run in the collection of one person. I'd guess not many collectors have accomplished that goal

It's ok I guess... If you are into those sort of books. Hehe

Thanks Gator, but me thinks you've been on one too many road trips with Parker.

Can I play?

 

WOW!! This is awesome for a variety of reasons

Can anyone explain why the label DOESN'T read 10/39??

Whatever happens, don't use Billy's scanner.

 

I'm pretty sure I just pee'd a little

Thanks to one of my favorite geeks, this will be in my greedy hands after the holidays.

 

 

Here is how it looked in the comic

 

 

I've had this beauty in my collection for a long time Billbo. I'm happy that it'll be staying in the family!! Enjoy it my friend (thumbs u (thumbs u

It will definitely see print. Steve and I are constantly discussing it, but we just have not had the time to finish it. Business and personal lives suck up every available minute right now.

 

What is left to do is write the last stories listed on the pedigree site. Easier said than done, because each one requires several phone calls, data crunching, drafts, picture layout, etc. After the stories are done, then I can write the front and back part of the book, which is basically the overview, compare and contrast of all the pedigrees.

 

I scheduled work to resume on my end right after the NY show in October, but here we are two months later, and work has not slowed down at all. December may as well be July. Which I'm thankful for, but it's preventing me from putting time in to get the book done.

 

I'm now pinning my hopes on January to March to devote to the book. One of my biggest pet peeves is not finishing something I start, so this will be done, come hell or high water. I had no idea writing this kind of book would be such a massive undertaking.

 

Hang in there everyone, it will see print.

YAY!!!! Thanks for the update Matty!!! I've been looking forward to this book from the very first mention of it. I will buy several copies!!!

 

 

lovely. only kirby cover in the run, for those that don't know all things timely.

 

the tall geek loves kirby, adores the angel, and is flat-out enraptured by little green men----in other words, he likes this issue.

As for the little green men, if Ricky won an award for prettiest Marvel 12, he'd no doubt thank "the little people"!!

here was the mmc1-9 I had been working on the past 2 years...fell short with no 6 (though I did secure a nice one at one point) and sold off the 10 before I even scanned it

 

start with my 9 Larson copy

 

I LOVED seeing this one in Dallas Gator!!

Marvel Mystery Comics #18 CGC 9.2 San Francisco Copy.

 

The colors are crazy!!!

mm 19, 7.5.

 

Aww, the Stowe Book Shop!!! I had a nice Marvel from there, #16 I think

Marvel Mystery Comics #19 CGC 9.4 San Francisco Copy.

 

BOOOOOM!!!!! (The sound of me hitting the floor) (worship)

Marvel Mystery Comics #20 CGC 8.5 San Francisco Copy.

 

Man that's nice!! Reilly stamp on the back cover??

Was just about to head home when I saw this, Timely file copy, very purdy.

WOW ..... that's a BLAZER Surfer!!! I'd never noticed before that Cap appears to be driving that guys throat into that wheel spindle thingy!!! OUCH!!!

new upgrade. thanks geek.

 

My pleasure to put you into it at my cost Billy boy. It's what buddies do .... when they can (thumbs u

new lost valley rep. very pleased to have this one, as i think there were only 4 timely's in the whole hoard. the first criteria for my ped buying was to try to find a book that would fit a timely s/h run, and this was a hard one.

 

I'm very happy to put you into it at my cost and keep it in the family Billy boy (thumbs u I'm far from a pedigree expert, but I believe that there were only 3 Lost Valley Timely books in the batch.

Marvel Mystery Comics #23 CGC 9.4

 

HOLY MOLY!!! Oops, wrong publisher ....
