That's most likely what she meant!!! Nice find! When it comes to comics I'm 90% superhero related so I am weak on those others.

 

Wow, are those books worth anything? I guessing not that much.

I swiped that scan from the Heritage Gallery. That book sold just over a year ago for $89.63. It's the Crippen Copy.

[Bat-Man]

interesting

I was watching an episode of Adventures of Superman - Mystery in Wax and thought this was a fun scene with the comics in the back. I don't think this was the only episode where DC comics were displayed but thought I would share. Sorry for the fuzzy pic. It was the best I could do with screen capture of WMP.

 

A copy of Superman #72 which is is displayed on the rack was one of the first GA books I ever bought.

 

[Bat-Man]

Awesome!

[nearmint]

I see Batman #66 there, too, with the Joker totem pole cover.
