add 'double action comics #2' to the list.

 

All they needed to add to the ad was 'Buy two. They'll be worth MILLIONS one day!'

Random Group Shot #1

- Action Comics #61 and #108 (2 of my favorite covers of the title).

- Wonder Woman #6 (1st Cheetah)

- Green Lantern #30 (1st Streak the Wonder Dog) + (one i have never seen posted on the boards before).

Ben.

i am very pleased with this recent pick up

 

 

 

 

Ben!!

 

Was that DTA's copy, I can't recall?

yes it was. good eye sir!

i am very pleased with this recent pick up

 

 

 

Beautiful copy of a tough book. Looks better than a 6.0.

 

If I recall correctly, the back cover is an ad for Detective #1.

thanks Peter.

I picked up an unrestored #9 I'll see if I can post in the next few days.

i am very pleased with this recent pick up

pm me if you have a back cover of batman 1 please

I like the cover to Action #18. I feel it's popularity will grow in time.

 

I think the early DC "adventure" type covers remain, unfairly, left in the shadows of their Superhero counterparts. Many times I actually prefer them. O'Mealia's early Action and Detective work are obvious examples, but Flessel and Guardineer also did some of the best work to ever grace a funnybook front.

 

I mean, lets get real, does cover art get much better than Detective 18, Action 2 or Action 8 (despite the obvious swipe of a superior illustrator)? I say no, no it does not!

 

Yes, and thanks to Roy for selling me the Action. We both looked at it a few years ago at Harley's table, but he was quicker on the draw!

 

Love these books, and they are just a fraction of the cost.

 

 

well said andy.

i couldnt agree more!

Ben

from what i have seen in the market place over the past couple of years "3" is the rarest action comic. IMO...

Here is my attempt of a WW run from 1 to 25. Only need two more issues, 4 & 6.

 

 

One and a half years later, I finally got my run completed from 1 to 25.

 

:applause:

and where is paulie these days?

I saw that book in person when I was in Oregon. It was on display at a local museum where they had an exhibit on comic books and original art in October, 2009. It has a much discussed history, but I can say that is shockingly nice in real life. The scans don't do it justice. Paulie had some photos posted on here at one time of the comic that better represented the book. It really looked newsstand fresh from front and back (I stepped behind the showcase to see the back cover, much to the disapproval of the security guard).

 

It's a killer looking copy.

 

(thumbs u

no doubt (thumbs u

but how much restoration has been done to it?

we will only know if it is "professionally" graded/checked.

 

This copy looks familiar...

 

Can someone refresh my memory?

 

 

Owned by a colletor in Oregon. Has minor resto. Seller wanted a million for it a couple of years ago on ebay.

minor PGX resto is like CGC extensive

wow!

a 9.8 1942 copy

picked this up from a boardie recently.

thankyou fuelman!!!

finally landed a low grade copy for keeps

 

 

 

Has nice eye appeal for a low grader. Congrats!

 

I finally landed one too....good that you weren't bidding or anyone else for that matter.....Under $200 shipped Low res scans...looks a lot better in hand, crisp and nice bright colors. Only some minor spine wear, bottom chipping and a right bottom corner crease....generally nice mid grade.

nice one colin!
