I only have pictures of a few and they aren't the best pics, but ….. 

Almost forgot about THIS gem. 

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

Technically, Subby IS underwater 

A longtime favorite!

I know that I've posted this 7.0 American edition here before, but it's the Mexican edition that I recently purchased which has me posting it again for comparison. I am also posting inside front & back cover pics plus the centerfold pic. Looking through copies from other countries is like being in an old, familiar house …. and discovering a room you didn't know about!! 

Mexican edition of F.F. 44      P.S. folded those down too  

I've been picking up some Avengers lately …. 

Very cool book!  Love the Rhino cover, one of my favorites from Romita
 

Thanks. They are from a collection I picked up last August that I posted about here (halfway down page 47). 
 
 
This is the rest of the ASM run:
 

 

There it is!! Such a beauty!! Thanks for posting it Tall Geek!!

A fairly recent pick up.

My latest.  Syd Shores ain't Schomburg, but he turned out a number of kewl covers with hot bad girls for Timely...  

  

Schomburg's skill at drawing anything mechanical had him illustrating electronic equipment for the Gernsback pulp Radio Craft.  Later on for Ned Pines as well with these schematic illustrations for astrological charts at his regular monthly gig at Better Pub's Everyday Astrology.

Another recent grab! I owned this exact copy over a dozen years ago! SO happy to have it back in the box!!!! Unrestored 7.5, off white pages. 

The Rhino is pretty cool. I picked up a Dutch edition of the 43 recently too. Having fun with other nation editions lately!

I also submit this for an overlooked issue. It's a great cover and being the first MJ inside ain't too shabby. 

I'm a tiny bit late to the Spidey 32 party, but I actually DO have a nice copy.

You are spot on about it being tough finding a nice copy, so perhaps it does get more love than I was aware of. I got VERY lucky when I initially bought it in the mid 90s. I sold it to a pal when I got divorced, but with "first rights of refusal" should it be sold by him. I got it back about 10 years ago. I briefly saw a 7.0 conserved for sale for about $3k, but it disappeared quickly. Ricky has the nicest one I've ever seen (never saw John's Church copy) which is a 9.0 Pennsylvania copy. Maybe he'll see this & post it. It's gorgeous. The census shows two copies in 8.0 after his 9.0, then this lone 7.0, so it IS tough I guess. 

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 cool, largely forgotten Red Circle title.
