MisterX Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 My faves are probably Karloff and Turok, but they’re all fun reads. If you’re the type of person who thinks SA Marvels are unreadable and prefer Moderns, you may find them a bit creaky. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. The truth is, the older I get the more tedious Moderns become with their grittiness, faux-realism and slavish devotion to continuity. I want to escape with my comics! Enough with the thinly-veiled parables to our modern, gritty, faux-realistic problems and their slavish devotion to continuity! I jest. Some moderns are OK.

MisterX Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey, Shiver--- Neat-looking comics. I saw these in your "latest obsession" thread and tried to search for some copies for myself. All I can say is....hold on to them! They are impossible to find! (As I'm sure you know.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 yes, there are those 3 issues in the run, and in the 70's 1 reprint in Walt Disney Showcase, but that is much easier to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is....hold on to them! They are impossible to find! (As I'm sure you know.) They are tough, but do pop up from time to time. Diamond Just auctioned a VF#2 on ebay last week, and I had to fight not to buy that copy as well! There is a VGish #3 on ebay now, & it is certainly the toughest in the run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterX Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Shiver, you're a big Toth fan, right? Do you have Frogmen #5 by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yes! I love toth! Never saw Frogman #5 though. It's a winner I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterX Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I don't have one either, but there's a pretty good Toth checklist in Comic Book Artist #11 (Twomorrows pub) that sez Frogmen #5 (Dell, 6/63) has a 27 pg Toth story with a 4 pg follow-up. I used to lurk on the Toth fans boards and people there seemed to think it was up there with his best. I've seen a picture of the cover on the Mile High website, but never a copy "in the flesh." I try to never buy from them, but their database is handy for research. And I've been meaning to go after those that Twilight Zone and Boris Karloff #5 as well...I have a nice file copy of Four Color 882 (Toth's first Zorro) in about a VF/VF+. In hindsight, I think I paid too much though. Someday I'll get a scanner, so I can show it off here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I just picked up the Karloff #5 too, but I have never had any of the zorros. I'll look for a Frogman, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I still have my original collection of Dr. Solar and Magnus. Somehow they survived my little brother and all of the notorious dealers that went through my collection in Toledo and Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so agree with you and I am sick of comics being third rate versions influenced by Dark Knight and Watchmen.Those were great series in the 1980`s but do all comic books have to be in that style? doom n gloom or dark n gritty?
