JohnT Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 You guys are blowing me away with these high grade copies! It's a real treat to get to see them. Thanks, John. But most of my DC stuff is only FN/VF to VF. I'm far too much of a tight- to swim in the deep end of the pool. That's high grade to me for 10 cent DC's, especially when you get back into the 50's!

I agree with that statement 100% (thumbs u DCs from the 1950s are quite rare above VF. I am always tickled when I get a nice solid FN/VF DC book from that era.

JohnT Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Three beauties! You know, Moriera always reminds me of Kubert, and these are three great examples of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Another trio of early MGA... Cant go wong with a diving suit with a pink background! I'm glad each of these villians has a name tag... Another SA GGA cover...nice Egyptian theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Superlative books Bill. The MGA title is my favorite of the big 4 DC mystery titles. However, I also find them hard to find in nice grades, especially the middle issues in the # 20s' through # 40s'. Here are some of mine. This Bernard Bailey cover is always one of my favorites. He is always imaginative in rendering weird creatures. Look at some of his 50's horror stuff which rate as some of the best horror covers ever.

AtlasFan Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Wow Rick, those are really nice books. I often thought that some of the MGA's in the in the 30s-60s range were trying to compete with the Atlas monster books -- as nearly every one of those issues has a wacky DC monster on the cover. Here are a few more MGAs! Space Ranger prototype: One of my favorite Robot covers: Love the colors on this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Leave it to Kirby to recycle 11 years later... Actually, Kirby recycled it only 4 years later: Although, interestingly enough the WCR cover looks closer in proportion to the HOM cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 It is interesting how much the Atlas monsters differ from the DC monsters. In the case of a prominent DC monster, such as K'RA (above), the DC monster is always the misunderstood party, while 99% of the time, the Atlas monster is a menace.

RICK STARR Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Very sweet books!! I have been a faithful fan since childhood of the Space Ranger.

JohnT Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Great books! I'm never seen any of those. 10-cent TOUs seem to far less common that Mystery in Space issues with Adam Strange, which seem to have an endless supply. I'm always on the lookout for these on Ebay and they just don't come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Killer blue on that Showcase #16. Word has it that our very own johnenock has some seriously beautiful big box 12-centers. Maybe if we ask nicely, he'll share 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
