Just picked up a gorgeous copy of Gem Comics #1 (1945) Been wanting one of these in nice shape for years and this one was a steal.
Nice looking copy!!! What is the grade on this beauty, hard to tell from the pic???

here's a "w" rockford.
That's a sweet book.
Always wanted a copy of this one. The cover is one of my favs in the Sparkler run.
Congrats on this and other recent postings Billy...

This reminds me, I was watching an old edisode of "Car 54 Were Are You" last night on ME and there was a copy of Fox & the Crow that was being looked at during one scene.
Do you happen to recall the title of last night's Car 54 episode?
There were two episodes on that night. The first one was THE WHITE ELEPHANT, followed by BENNY THE BOOKIES LAST CHANCE
I think it was Benny the Bookies Last Chance...thanks!!!

Sorry, I don't but maybe ME has a online schedule that could be checked.
I'll see if I can find it???

Great BZ!!! Thanks for the link (thumbs u

I don't know what issue it was, but I believe it's from 1962 because I do remember the cover featured the "square, 12 cent price box" on the cover.
Too bad they were scraped from the Roger Rabbit movie. That movie is amazing.

Bought a bunch of books from CLINK tonight, but these three stood out to me from among my winnings:
I can't recall ever having seen this book before. Very cool
I've seen it before, and it's a real gem!!! I was tempted myself when I saw it for sale!!!
Congrats!!! (thumbs u

Talk about a tough book. It took me four years to find a Good copy. Now after another four I've finally been able to upgrade. Thanks Adam!
Looks like Central America is toast. Ay carumba.
Thats a great looking copy (thumbs u

Thanks to Ed R. at the Long Beach Con. Beautiful colors on this Eisner cover, with insides sporting a screwy Fletcher Hanks Big Red story that defy societal convention. And as with all Fight Comics everybody gets hit in the jaw at least once. The feel and smell of this book makes you sigh. Thx again to Ed.
Now that's a book you don't see very often.
great pick-up!!!
-
Here are some of my favorite Larson copy covers....jb
That goes double for the MM3.
Goes triple for the FR 4/1
Oh yeah, I like the Tip Top too...

I'm hoping some FF guys can answer this. Why is Fantastic Four 1 so much more expensive than X-men 1? It's not much older and X-men is far more popular.
FF started the Marvel SA. FF intoduced many big characters and had
almost all the new Marvel characters crossed into the title.
FF4 Submariner
FF5 Dr Doom
FF12 Hulk
FF16 Antman
FF 25-26 Avengers
FF27 Dr Strange
FF28 Xmen
Xmen 1 is a great book but the orignal Xmen weren't that popular. If Xmen 1
featured the modern Xmen it would probably be close to AF15 in value.
Good answer torch... (thumbs u
but also the FF was Marvel's flagship title.
Stan & Jack cared much more about the FF than ANY other Marvel title, and it showed both in the writing, and in the artwork.
Also back in the early 60's the FF was way more popular than the X-men, which was only a bi-monthly comic until issue #14.
So in the early days the X-Men was NOT that popular a title. Even the Avengers which 1st issue was at the same time as the X-Men, was also a bi-monthly when first published but became a monthly with issue # 6. So the X-men was way behind, and one of Marvel's poorest selling titles.
In summuary...the FF was KING...the X-Men was barely hanging in there, and the FF was THE book which started the marvel re-birth...so historically it is the MOST IMPORTANT SA Marvel book period, even more historically important than AF #15. Without FF #1 ...none of the others would have existed including X-Men #1.
That's why it goes for more money than X-men #1.

Nice answer Gator!!!!
Hard to argue with that!!!
-
Wow, that's an understatement..........I would have giggled and me-thinks I prob-ley my pants right there on the spot too!!!
-
I know this is not the "Ask Gator" thread,
but how long would it take you now to finish the Catman run...if you started anew. -
here is my catman 1-33 and crash 4,5
Seems like you finished this run very fast.
It really pays to be able to see so much great material as you have the pleasure of doing.
Quite a feat on such a difficult run...
-
Congrats GAtorman!!!! Awfully pretty!!!
Wow! For you 6 yrs. must have felt like a lifetime...
after 6 long years of collecting, I did finally finish my World's Finest 40-80 run...whew!
? 
Top title by Publisher? You choose...
in Golden Age Comic Books

I'd agree with everything except Centaur.
I know why Richard picked (AMF), over other Centaur titles, mainly Funny Pages (I think it's more super-hero oriented, and more sci-fi...Bill Everett...etc),
However, I would pick Funny Pages for the same reasons you picked Detective for DC, Marvel Mystery for Timely, Mystery men for Fox, Whiz for Fawcett, Pep for MLJ,...etc....etc....many would also chose Jumbo over Planet, but i can understand why Planet trumps Jumbo....good idea and great list. Also agree with FF #1.
