I always thought they made Jack R. look like the paramedic on the old medical show "Emergency". But just on that one cover. 

Congrats on the win! That cover has a sort of early bronze DC feel to it. Of course Neal Adams right

I don't understand why Jack on the cover VS in the book look nothing alike....

It may be because neal Adam's only worked on the cover and not the insides...

My third copy of this comic. This looks pretty good. Might give my 9.4 a run for it's money....

Queued for 3 hours with my grandma to watch this movie in 1977

Went to the latest HA auction intending to buy a few golden age comics, ended up shifting gears and rather only winning this amazing issue (Been wanting a high grade copy of this cover for awhile, and it being a black pedigree just fits so well with the aesthetic). I think I've decided that other than keeping an eye out for specific golden age grails (as always), my 2020 year will focus on getting high grade bronze issues I've always loved but only ever bought reader copies of as a kid.

Well, that didn't take long. As I just mentioned my previous post, my goal of 2020 was to be finding bronze keys in higher grade...well, figured I would look and ended up buying this after I posted here since it was a good deal.

So, yeah...my 2020 goal is technically complete as this was my MAIN Bronze key I wanted graded (I own a low grade raw already, as I do with all my favourite books: One graded to display like art, and another raw copy I can give to people to read if they are interested and want to experience the original comic). I didn't want to go higher grade than this as the prices are just crazy (When I buy most key comics I like purchase issues that are no lower in grade than the 'threshold' grade, a term I think I coined. I define a 'threshold grade' as that is which grade point has the MOST comics in that bracket - in this case 361 copies in 7.0, so I don't go below that ever (often trying to at least get a .5 point above it if financially possible, in this case I didn't).
