So that's why Tom Reilly couldn't find any Nedors. They were all in the Philipines! Really cool pictures. I'll have to take a look at the Life archive.

Wow, this thread is phenomenal!! Makes you wish you could hop in a time machine and see it all for real.

 

Y'all are a fount of knowledge, I really enjoy lurking on your threads!

[Dark Knight]

Wow, I wonder where in the Philippines that took place... My dad used to collect comics, but he told me they were thrown out by his mother!?!?! It would be a trip if he was in that pic

[Frederic9494]

BTW anybody noticed the giant Homer Simpson head on that pic!

[VintageComics]

Probably not as cool as a Marvel Comics #1.

 

 

Roy, I assume you've seen this one. Second row back, on the far right...

 

Yup. I have. It makes me cry every time.

I'm going to the Phillipines next month searching for a couple of grails.

 

I hope there are in better condition than those books in that picture were though.
