I need the CF for All-American Comics #61.

 

Looks great but missing that CF. I only paid $25 for this comic but wish I could have the CF to go with it.

:takeit:

If you decide to sell, I'll buy it just for the cover.

I can't sell this comic. When I was a little kid first getting into comics (circa 1969) my father would often tell me about a comic he had as a child (he collected comics during the 40s). He said it was the Golden Age Green Lantern with a swamp-type monster rising out of the swamps. He said it was his favorite comic book as a child. Well, at that time I had no idea about fandom and had no reference books of any kind except Steranko's History Of Comics and Jules Pfeiffe's The Great Comic Book Heroes. So I could only imagine what this comic was.

 

Obviously years later I found out it was All-American Comics #61. And about 10 years ago I'm at a convention and some guy (not a professional dealer, just trying to unload some old comics) has this comic for sell and I'm able to get it for $25 even though it's missing the CF (affecting the Atom & Dr. Mid-Nite stories). Well, I give the All-American Comics #61 to my dad for Father's Day. He was so... I don't have the words... happy and in awe. It was like he was reunited with a treasured memento. The comic itself was in fine condition and the Green Lantern/Solomon Grundy story complete. That was enough for him. It's probably his favorite comic of all time.

 

My dad got me into comics back in the late 60s. Though his collection from the 40s was given away to his cousins back in the 50s when he went into the army, he wanted me to enjoy collecting and reading comics like he did. He's 77 and still reads comics. His favorites being Ed Brubaker's Captain America and Jonah Hex.

 

I have this great picture from Father's Day a couple of years ago my mom took of my dad holding his All-American Comics #61, me next to him holding my Avengers #4, and my son next to me holding his Deadpool #1. 3 generations of comic book collectors!

Could use a More Fun #61 cover only, if anyone has. :)

 

I have one like this that needs an interior and More Fun 79 and 89 that need covers. MF 68 is not my copy but belongs to someone else. I think my copy is a little better. Not as tan at the edges. I also changed the coat to white.

 

I always wanted a Johnny Quick cover to fit in with the Green Arrows. Anyone got an extra?

For years I have looked here and there for the centerfold to Detective 59, anyone got one in nice shape? Would really like to complete this book.

I have a centerfold (Cliff Crosby pgs 2-5) that is a little tan and has a few nicks but is flat and clean. What do you have for trade?

People are asking for the picture of my father with All-American Comics #61. I would love too but I'm going to have get someone to show me how. The picture is just a regular 35mm print and as much as I try shoving the picture into the hard drive I just can't get it show up on this screen.

Scan the photo and load it up on photobucket or Flickr. Or take a photo with a lens that can magnify.

A cheap scanner works pretty good for old photos.

Here is one of my son and I in Duckburg hanging out with Sheriff Donald.

This is from an old picture that was scanned last year I think. DD was touched up with Photoshop.

I nee a couple of inner wraps for a Batman 20 (or a coverless copy) & a centerfold for an Action 63.

 

Those are two of my favorite covers. I searched for the Batman 20 cover for a while but ended up buying a facsimile cover from Fedoraman.

Maybe this is your copy. Not sure where I got the scan.

I still need

 

Archie 1 interior

New York Worlds Fair 1940 interior

Captain America 61 front cover (or full comic with missing pages or back cover problems.

 

I have

 

Namora 3 interior missing cover and outer wraps (basically it has a centerfold)

Marvel Mystery 87 interior missing cover and outer wraps (basically it has a centerfold)

Low grade Action 103 missing a centerfold

 

As an aside, my opinion on trying to trade for specific parts and pieces is likely impossible. I guess it could happen but the odds would have to be just incredibly small.
