OK - so I promissed to make up for yesterday when I finally got to 67:

 

 

 

OK so this is where it gets odd - I suppose by now everyone knows my current collecting focus is on the checkerboard DC books of '66 & '67 - but I realized I have three number 67s. So I changed how my want list was assembled to see if that was the most I could have of a single # from different DC checkerboard books and not only is 3 not an unusual number it isn't even close to the most I could have. But, it is all the 67s on my want list.

 

1st: The Brave & the Bold - Bruce & Barry:

2nd: Showcase! - Bwana Beast - I still think there should be a DC/Marvel crossover like the Spiderman/Superman books with Bwana Beast & Black Panther. Yeah - I'd buy that.

3rd: Lois (she's sooo sexy) Lane:

day 67 is pretty darn cool in my book.

Lee

 

There's a lot of Go Go checked books Lee. I have most of them myself. Still need probably some War & Romance issues to complete them. Figure any DC title that ran in that '66 to '67 era had at least 6 or 7 Go Go covers and as many as 12 for the monthlys. I used to notate the Go Go's on my checklist as I entered them among other notable interest points. If I had mine updated I could pull a querey and list them all.

 

Cool format to collect Lee. Hope you get them all.

 

 

 

I think my list is fairly complete - yes all books from early 66 to middle 67. I don't know the exact numbers for Sugar & Spike, Swing with Scooter, or Blackhawk. The first two because of how scarce the info on them is and the latter because I can't find any images uploaded. I know swing starts with #1, but I'm not certain where it ends, the Sugar I'm sure of is 65, and Blackhawk run is from about 217 to about 228. It'll take me forever - but it'll be fun and keeps me focussed.

Nice books, guys. :applause:

I always get a laugh out of this cover -- the idea of a "Science Fans Masquerade Party", wondering how they thought the Martian managed the three-fingered hands, and the blonde Science Fan giving the Martian the eye.

 

In fact, this title probably had more science-oriented stories, many by Gardner Fox, than any other DC title. My new #17 is even better than I expected -- I should pick up some more.
