Great set of 37s :applause:

 

Some of mine. I also have Airboy 37 but I'll have to scan it later -

 

I have a copy of that scan in my "elements" folder -- I wonder if it's yours. It cracks me up when them dang rustlers run off with a shoebox full of uranium.

Great funny animal cover, especially the mean rabbit!

I'm surprised at how many 37s I have scanned.

 

Mighty Mouse 37. Not much of a copy, but I really like the cartooning and the genre-mixing: superhero funny animal played as a western melodrama. Too bad it wasn't in outer space.

Abbott and Costello -- a weakened remake of an earlier cover.

Aquaman 37. Someone beat me to it with a nicer copy.

Kid Colt Outlaw 37. Unusual cover with the Kid in a carriage. Dark and crowded, but interesting.

All American Men of War 37, another of those unusual perspective covers. Nicer than BTH.

Showcase 37 -- Metal Men are one of Silver Age favorites. Origin and first appearance! I'm pretty sure this is my own copy, which unfortunately lacks a back cover.

Here they are yakkin' away about their physical properties. Could comic books get more pedantic? But I love 'em anyway.

Not shocking that they are one of your favorites. I guess every single Metal Men comic is an element cover!

 

I always liked that each character has a unique personality tied to the characteristics of their metal, and the resulting banter between them. Most DC characters of the SA were pretty flat personality wise, but not the Metal Men.

 

I also loved the strange romance between Platinum and Doc Manus.

 

A side note: could it be a coincidence that Doc Magnus created the Metal Men, and a year later Gold Key came out with a character called Magnus Robot Fighter? hm

Certainly Doc Magnus, but maybe both from Albertus Magnus, the alchemist.

 

Albertus Magnus

 

Magnus is a pretty common Swedish first name, isn't it?

Is this from the "Hi, I'm Jack and I am a closet Western collector" collection? :baiting:

 

I agree it's an unusual cover and the dark background helps it. (thumbs u
