Socratic Wonder

Rick stop doing this to me!!!

I only have so much money to spend on comics and every time you post new books I want them. You just spawned a wonder woman collector! Thanks for basically bankrupting a friend

Nice WW collection Gator!!!!

the reason for my selling off my under tec 29 copies...

rick

Ill trade you a 5.5 slight resto for that one

Nice unrestored copy Rick! (thumbs u

Nice Two-Face covers!!!!

Great pick ups!!!

The seller told me he found it in an old house he had bought and was renovating. It was within the basement stairs in a shoe shelf. The theory is that when the house was being renovated in 1939, whoever was installing the panelling, put it there to show when the work was done. Apparently it was a fairly comon practice done with old newspapers.

Of all the July 1939 comics to choose from, he sure picked a doozy!

He sure did!

courtesy of showcase-4...thanks steve....

 

just a little "diddy"...

Nice Rick!!!!

Preach Brother Preach!

Can I get an Amen!?!?!?!

Well said my friend! One thing I always due when I pick up a new GA book is think about the kid who saved up his pennies all week so he could buy his favorite new issue from the corner store. Certainly an era that lives only vaguely in our new age high tec mids.

Yep. 9.0

why did we sell it , again?

 

Either stupidity or we wanted 27's?

hello all...

here is my copy

gator

I will just have to live vicariously through win and bz and jb...(and ryan, too)

.... That sure is one white cover!!!

A Huge Thanks to Rick for getting this graded for me!!!!!!!!

 

its not easy to get stuff graded when you live 'down under'.....

 

 

 

:cloud9:

 

And once again I follow a stunning acquisition (beautiful book Surfer) with something a little lower on the GA scale...

 

Carson City copy

Nice! (thumbs u

I came so close to bidding on that one!!!

...did I ever tell you all that sacentaur is a codename for glossinator? gator

 

 

 

Well, take THIS then !!:

 

My eyes my eyes!!!!!!

I think I am blind from the glare!!!

Many props to Mr. Bedrock for allowing me to acquire this grail of mine.

Awwwww hence the 5.5 for sale.

Well done SS

Sweet books JB and Peter!!!

I have never seen most of those!

one of my first GA purchases was this hard to find copy of New Adventure #23.

 

i love this cover

 

its like he ran out of bullets so he just starts swinging.....

 

Thanks to Buttock and Tyler Pokrass.

 

B.

 

 

 

Ok wow I am so happy for you!!!!

Now that I got the praise out of the way...... you!!!

Once I am getting towards the end of my pre hero adventure Flessel run, and if I don't have that book (and I wont), you MUST sell it to me!!!!!

Well done B

Love the Jumbo #9

Nice grouping on short order, Scrooge...

 

nice indeed scrooge.

remember the doublemint gum commerical from way back?

here are "three runs, three runs, three runs in one!"

just closed two of them in c'town; literally from A to Z.

 

you all have to remember, that a 5 book run is about as high as LSU grads can generally count...2 book runs are a little easier, but still occasionally offer a challenge!

gator

I have a Detective Comics #36 3.0 Blue Label in the selling forum!

Thanks for looking!!

Wow what a killer book!!!!!!!

The early Wonder Womans and Sensations were drawn by her creator, HG Peters. Later other artists like Irwin Hasen, Irv Novick, and Ross Andru were brought in. The WW95 is by Andru who drew most of the covers from that point through the next 10 years.

 

I was reading recently in the 365 Days of DC flip book that, at some point, Peters got behind and some other artist (can't recall the name) stepped in for at least one issue to give a breather to Peters and give him time to assemble a team of assistants. Anyone remember the artist's name?

 

I can't recall the artist either, but (as noted in the Guide) some early Sensations had WW stories not by Peter: 8, 17 thru 19, and 21.

 

Here's the 18:

 

WOW! That is one glossy Sensation!!!

Just picked this one up on ebay!

My most recent pick ups! The others are at CGC

Finally have enough GA's to do a decent group shot!!!!

hello all...

I went "in search" of centaurs at the chicago con...had I of been inclined (reading between the lines, if I had any money), I could have picked up 47 diff books from the publisher...as it was, I managed only an Aman #8 and a KDF, v2/#3....there was a sweet kdf v2/#7 there, but I couldn't muster the 4x guide price (3x guide after negotiations, and I still passed, but know where it is!)...many Stars and Stripes, I saw 2 diff copies of Wham 1, several Science and Movie bits and pieces, and lots of low grade AMFs, Funny pages and Amans....but, I think that the prices being paid out there are indicative that the guide is "irrelevant" when it comes to collecting Centaurs...having seen Win's entire (OMG!) collection of Centaurs, I can say that Gustavson, Biro, Ryan, etc etc were, as JB said, the forerunners of the really good GA work....while I will likely never be able to complete the publisher, as JB and Win have done or are very close to doing, it will be one heck of a ride!
