not a bronze collector by nature, not a d.c. collector by nature, but a classic cover is a classic cover.

A Bronze Age classic indeed! Jeff Jones could draw bondage covers as good as any done in the Golden Age! You need issue 200 to go along with this one.

on it...

Nice copy....the white specs must be scanner artifacts because pretty nice book

I picked these up recently, I forgot, good to have friends that are like minded.

Apparently, great minds think alike.

That period of Adventure comics was great!

Jim Aparo was at his peak!

There was a 1st silver age app of spectre at the LCS for $45 then tax, but  I couldn't even scrape that up in cash. Back burner stuff is coming round and I'm still going to miss out 

Time is on my side though I hope.

It might have been a raw 3.5 or 4.0. It looked like a nice grab, but they turned down my trade

Idk, it's been so hectic, you'd think I'd want to slow down.

Another book for my Superboy run. Crazy to think that this is NOT a Neal Adams cover even though CGC labels it that. It is not credited in the registry and Neal's checklist does not list it as a cover he did. I am going to keep it safe, regardless.

Trying to finish my dollar books run. Laaaate bronze...

The label says "Irv Novick & Neal Adams cover" ... is it possible he did just the inks, or just finishes on the pencils?

It is possible but I have a checklist that is quite extensive in what Adams did on every cover and interior and this book is not listed in any way.

Not in perfect shape by any means 😉

Nice. Who cares if it's not perfect?

I got this real beater yesterday. $3 and I probably overpaid. But now I have Warlord's first appearance and that's cool.

I did that today too, traded in some Vg doubles to the LCS, and came away with the full list in this week in collection, in comics general

Filled with this bronze a few copper and modern! It's nice to go after stories that are mostly looked for, by me, perhaps in the dollar bin, but after finding other stuff, it's nice to trade them for stuff you hoped you'd find ... If that makes sense or is relatable  I'll park up this evening and give them some reads and flip through

Warlord is fun, I'm glad we're both able to come away with goods that fit our collecting, as I find mine changes ALL the time 😂

I received the Superman books last week, I've had the other 2 for a couple of months. The Supes 252 is my 3rd copy of that issue.

Upgrade from a 7.5.

I posted this in the "Flea Market/Antique Store finds" thread, but I'm posting it here too; looking for thoughts/help on potential value of the below (and there's a story because I like stories).

-----------------------------------------

My wife and I took a short weekend getaway, and we went to a resale shop yesterday - a lot of vases, wreaths, signs that look hand-painted but aren't, that kind of thing. My wife bought a few things, and as she was checking out, on a whim I asked the woman who owned the shop if they had any comic books. She said, "I do have a box of comics but all the fronts are missing. They've been here forever and I can't get rid of them. If you promise to take the whole box, you can have it for $5." I don't need more clutter, but I also can't say no to a possible deal, so I said sure. She grabbed the box - a printer paper box with two stacks of comics laid flat, maybe 80 books -  and the books on top were a couple of what looked like ASM (turned out to be Marvel Tales) remaindered copies - I can explain what remaindered copies are or you can find out more on Google. I figured at least I'd have some reading material.

She finished slowly ringing my wife up because they were chatting, and it came out to about $75 - and then she said, "You know what? Just take the books, I'm just glad to be rid of them." Even better!

I went through the box when we got back, and there's plenty of good reading, but I was pretty excited (and a little sick to my stomach honestly) to find these in there:

 

The rest were stuff like Defenders, Marvel Two-In-One, Marvel Tales, etc. Aside from the two above, this was the next-best thing in there:

 

I know about remaindered copies from a historical standpoint, but if anyone has any idea or thoughts about the potential value of these, I'd appreciate it!
