no love for Showcase?

[Aman619]

I really like the threads focussed on one title with lots of scans of great copies. And I just realized, I dont recall ever a Showcase thread! Which is surprising and telling, maybe. Surprising of course because it has many of DCs most valuable books in its long run....and telling maybe as th etitle USED to be (with B&B) the hottest most sought after run years ago.

 

Or should I just search for the one that already esisted and run its course?

I think they have definitely been in a down cycle. Recent ebay prices have Showcase & B&B at really low ending prices. Not sure why, perceived too expensive? People focusing on runs instead like Action & Batman?

I'll post the only two I have on my flickr account:

nice! I have been thinking about picking up a 23 lately, I really love that cover.

I only have a couple of Showcases but have always been intrigued by it. I don't know why it's never been high on the list to collect though. Brave & The Bold is starting to creep up on my list.

You're channeling Chico Marx?

 

I think it has to be Lois Lane's crotch to be really famous.

Maybe that's her in the suit. She'll be on the cover just 6 issues later.

Agreed. That is gorgeous.

One of my favorite covers of all time. Heath.

 

 

Now if only I could find a nice upgrade for the right price.

I'd love to be able to show off a Showcase #34 (one of my all time favorite covers). Alas, I'll never own a copy of tht book. I'm too poor to even consider a copy.

Still waiting to see some samples from the fabled Aman collection.
