Well I bit the bullet and went for it on these 2 in that recent Ebay sale. I presume some other of the Pep run ended up in the hands of boardies? I looked these over and feel pretty good overall. The 26 had a little more staining on the front than I had envisioned but the 36 is brilliant and clean. Bummer the cover is detached. Anyhow, here ya go.

Was able to dig up a scan of the #4. Not as nice as Bedrocks - but I realize that's kind of a rule of thumb around here.

Wow, that is such a beautiful book. I absolutely love the AA #4, it really is one of the coolest covers to me. I do not have it, but do have the AA #1, and it probably is my favorite. (Sorry for the bad picture ... all I have right now).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the ones my dad picked up originally. Bummer he didn't grab #2...

Nice book Jimbo!

This one arrived recently. I just couldn't help myself when I saw it pop up for sale. So pretty.

Don't think I've ever posted mine. Picked it up last December.

All of the ones mentioned seem to trade at a premium. I wouldn't mind seeing a Church Atlas? Haven't been looking that long but really can't recall seeing any.

Apologies if it's been discussed previously, but amongst the many Atlas experts here on the boards - what are the best/most desirable atlas pedigrees? Maybe there isn't a consensus but curious as to people's favorites.

From another boardie.....arrived yesterday.

Also, a 4.5 sold for 86k on CC IIRC.

 

So for the 6.0, I would say no problem.

and I just sold my 5.0 for far north of that, so the 6.0 should be juicier

 

wow, going to be interesting to watch.

 

I would like to see what a comparable TEC 29 goes for.

 

That Tec 31 is beautiful, but Tec 29 is my pet book. Given a choice, I'd rather drop 100k+ on a Tec 29 7.0 or higher.

 

Probably a good idea now that TEC 29's are half off - compared to TEC31's.

 

Speaking of...I was at the bank yesterday so I pulled this little gem out of storage and took a pic as I realize I hadn't posted it. This is the one from Clink back in Feb.

 

 

Very nice 29 dannyboy. I wondered who had owned that 29 from Clink. I see your 29 in 2.5 and raise you a 31 in 2.5

 

While most of the world would agree with you, I think its just a call.

Here's the stamp from the 4. I'm in California but not the guy who got it originally. Would love to know where the 3 and 5 are now? I actually just picked up a nice #5 that I'll post when it's in hand.

Posted this in the Atlas thread but thought it could use some love here as well. Very excited about this beautiful book.

Oh boy...I'm super excited about this one. Arrived today. Bethlehem copy.

Another Mystic arrived today. Advertised on ol' ebay as a 6.0 and it's definitely better than that. Absolutely tight and glossy little copy. Wow. What a cover.

Arrived today...

Is that true? I know you can't sell 'em...but not even a pic?

I picked these up so far this year. The most remarkable thing? All of them have the covers attached. Although one of the 4's is probably only because of the tape...

Great books! You're on a roll!

You have no idea...

Only picked up one book each from the recent CLink and CConnect auctions. But I'm really happy with my choices. The Astonishing, to me, is such a brilliant cover. The use of shadows on Marvel Boy and the damsel really bring the cover to life. There's nothing flat or two dimensional about it. I like it more each time I look at it - just really jumps out at me.

Wish my scanner was better...but here ya go.

Just picked up the #1 to complete the run.

 

Awesome. All look like great presenting copies in grade too.

Thanks all. I do love the run but am bummed that someone trimmed the 5. It is a sharp copy regardless that just didn't need to happen.

Some lovely ladies picked up this year...

 

 

Nice! I see you've replaced your Dad's Ghost 2 also!

 

Ha! You don't miss much. I even got one in similar condition.

 

Well you sold it to me, it's still one of my favorite books in my collection! (thumbs u

I think that's one that I had in an "alternate" holder, correct? Have you busted it out?

Well, a few months ago I decided to go after the 6 Atlas Marvel Boy issues and I'm halfway there. I notice the 2 Marvel Boys were published under Marvel Comics and then the Astonishing 3 is labeled Atlas. First Atlas comic - or at least the first month they published under their own brand?
