I bid on this too, but only half-heartedly. Glad it's in the family Billy (thumbs u

Nice up grade Billy Boy!! Will this be at Matty's??

Here is a Catman that I bought last night. Obviously, I don't have it yet, but it looks cool and I can't wait to get an in-hand look at it (thumbs u

 

 

Interesting - that one is a later reprint of the first Australian reprint. The 12c cover price means it was published after 1966 (decimal currency introduced). The one I linked to has the pre-decimal 1/- (one shilling) cover price.

Very interesting indeed!! All of this is new information to me, which makes it even more fun. I also have issues 20 & 21 which have a cover price spelled out as "12 cents" rather than this issues "12 c". Once again, I'm not really sure what that means as far as age. Those were the ones I bought from Ricky in Chicago and I don't have scans of them yet.

These are awfully fun to read. I do especially like the WWII related stories and "cameos" by the artists.

 

WHOA!! Another Church Timely!! If these become "for sale", consider me interested!! VERY nice books Sir (thumbs u

A few loose ones ....

I love this title

Me too West!! Post 'em if ya got 'em (thumbs u

What a GREAT group of Timely funny animal books!!! I have quite a few, but most aren't scanned. I'll post the ones that are.

Love this Church Timely!!! VERY NICE

i don't have many, but i like this one very much.

 

LOVE IT Geek (thumbs u

Me too West!! Post 'em if ya got 'em (thumbs u

Wonderful Moldoff geek!

IT'S RUSS!!!!

not a d.c. collector, but could not say "no" to riding this trolley.

 

Well done Billy boy!!! I don't own many D.C.'s either, but that's one I'd find room in a box for

This is a shot of the Catman 22 interior.

Here is the back cover to the Catman 22.

I may have posted this before, but since I've just reacquired some of my scans from Billy's photobucket. I'll post it anyway.

Marvel Mystery Comics #48 CGC 9.2

 

WOW, that's a killer copy

Superman #5

 

VERY very cool West Do you collect EVERYTHING??

LOVE this one!!! Cheetah your collection is unbelievable

I found a number of Aussie Fiction House reprints on ebay a couple of years ago. Decent shape, all B&W with the stories starting on the inside front cover and continuing to the back cover on all but one. Published by John Edwards Company. Not dated but has to be the 1950s at least.

 

Nice pick up Cheetah

Here's a Batman 72 that I was able to pick up at the same time I got the Superman 58. It doesn't list a date on the CGC label, but I'm gonna say it's safe to post it here in the Golden Age area.

 

 

As good as it ever gets, condition-wise!

 

Thanks Alanna!!! Once again, thanks for keeping this thread alive!! I was VERY happy to see this thread this morning (thumbs u

 

I have become interested in comics from all over the world in the past few years. I have some that I need to get scanned or photographed that I can add to this thread and probably start some others. It comes to mind that I purchased a few Australian Catman comics from my good friend Ricky at Bedrock City this past year in Chicago. I'll post pics when I get them taken.

 

This website is a pretty handy guide to Oz reprints.

 

The Batman #72 would seem to have been (re) printed in May 1956.

 

If you like John Dixon's "Catman", keep a lookout for Paul Wheelahan's "Panther" - a very similar flavour, and like Dixon's Catman an original strip - not a reprint.

 

Thanks Duffman, for both the website info and the Panther heads up. (thumbs u

This might be the worst Subby cover in the golden age. It's either this or Marvel Mystery 77 imo. This is a lil' low grader that I grabbed and might be seeing a crack party soon.

 

 

Giant-Man prototype?

YES!!! Now there's a pal putting a positive spin on a less-than-great cover (thumbs u

 

I can't imagine this book would get a lot of love from my geeks

 

9.8, white pages, pedigreed. yep, nobody around here cares about those things

 

are you saying i didn't show enuff love for the last 9.8 you showed me? shame on you for holding out on us.

 

I figured you to only look once at it Billy. Ricky'd like the condition and Pons woudn't like that he couldn't leaf through it

 

The man knows his geeks

 

Indeed I do Billbo!! I'm gonna be seeing them in 3 weeks

 

Enough of this geek love-fest! Back on the short bus!

 

A nice, clean copy of this oddball giveaway -- except for the tack holes.

Hey, this book came from MY area.
