I love the Big Hand covers. Anyone have a Strange Adventures 110 to display ?

Thanks. Probably my absolute favorite cover of all time. The trouble is I have never owned a copy.

 

That guy must have a 3 stage fogger ( nitrous ) system on that car. Those tires are really smoking.

Here are my copies of SA 110 and MGA 32.

The SA is just a sharp fresh copy I picked up at a Sotheby's auction many years ago. The SA lot was from Murphy Anderson's personal collection.

The MGA is nicer than I thought. Can't remember where I got it.

And ,of course, everyone's favorite the classic giant P-cover. Well as they say a picture tells a thousand words.

I suspect the smoke is a way for Gil to avoid having to show where exactly the giant hand is coming from...

 

Here's my copy. Come to think about it, I don't remember the story, or what the deal with the hand is.

Thanks for sharing your copy of MGA 32. In terms of color, my copy looks like that outside the slab. That makes a total of two that I've seen--mine and yours. I would love to see more.

Again, those high grade books are stunning.

I have a pic of my 110 in my set. I love the book.

 

If I remember the giant hand comes and saves this guy over and over during his life, I don't remember why the aliens felt obligated to help him - bug I remember it was an obligation for something they were the cause of when he was a youth...maybe.

I realize that this House of Mystery 202 is a Bronze Age book but there are SA collectors that don't venture into the Bronze Age so I thought I would post it here. It is my only book that ever came back a CGC 9.8 and with White Pages. It is the only 9.8 in the census. Hoping it remains that way but who knows. Kaluta has always been a favorite of mine.
