Gold Key

Great! What a way to learn to read with such stilted title and tagline:

 

"Queen La directs savage vengeance against Tarzan as he is trapped in the secret vaults of Opar"

 

even though I'll concede that it sounds like a bang-up story.

Why do you think in a mysterious and wondrous tongue speak I now?

 

Actually, the grammar seems okay to me. (shrug)

 

Grammatically correct and pleasant to the ear are two different concepts. (thumbs u

 

Why do I suspect that you prefer, "POUNDING HOOFS! LETHAL HORNS! HONKER STAMPEDE!"?

(especially the part about the honkers)

Great stuff! I am working on a Munsters run, but low grade.

 

Here is a link to 1961

 

Where Turok is outselling Detective, Flash, JLA etc.

And Tarzan is even higher. That's really amazing stuff, I genuinely had no idea that the Dell/GK titles were such big sellers.

I am guessing out of the gate Dr. Solar & magnus were not big sellers, as the early issues can really be a bit trickier to find.

Never thought the early issues of Dr. Solar were hard to find, even in grade. Early issues of Magnus are tough, even if grade is not an issue, except for #2.

Not to digress, but I found it interesting that Stan was able to hold off on providing circulation figues on ASM, FF, DD, and Avengers until 1966. It was also interesting how Batman DOUBLED in 1966 with the show out. We watched it twice a week when I was a kid :cloud9: GOD BLESS...

This thread needs a bump. I seem recall being a bit hesitant to buy these comics as a kid.

They were not Marvel, nor DC, and the dialouge seemed to be typewritten and oversized. hm

 

However those painted covers really stood out. :grin:

I thought I had completed my run of Doctor Solar comics in VF/NM condition or better until I took out my stack a few months ago and discovered a white paint smear on the bottom left of issue #3 that I must have overlooked previously thinking it was just part of the swirl of colours in the background!
