Thanks JohnT, I guess you now realize I am not too bright.

I think you have the better looking copy. My copies are not that great looking, but I have had them for 50 years.

This will likely be the ugliest copy of this one posted today.

 

 

I do like the French/Canadian version that uses the full cover for the Joker and cards image from this cover:

I like that version. Here's my copy of #260.

Collectors often don't appreciate how irritatingly expensive this issue is, as it appears to be just another in a long run. However, Adventure Comics #260 is a tough book.

 

Very impressed to read that your books are original copies, Charlie. I don't think many here have owned a book over fifty years, though Silver intends to!

By issue #260 Detective Comics was steadily going weirder, creating a strange combination of issues from the great to the totally ridiculous.

This is what I call a fun cover:

I'm not sure how many Adventure #260s I have owned. I do remember my first copy, that I got from a comic book store in the 1980s. It had a huge crease right across the title logo and eventually I traded it for a slightly nicer copy.

 

I bought a copy from Metro once and even bought a copy claiming to be a file copy, with a strange pencil code on the splash page.

 

I looked at the Mohawk Valley copy in 1995 but it was far too expensive. It is for sale on Comiclink.

 

Ironically, I came across and bought two nice copies almost back to back, one on its own and another in a small group of what were called original owner books. My intention was to sell one and I will. They are about as identical as two books can be.

 

Here is one of them:

This issue seems pretty popular today.

[Ant-Man]

The last of my Thor run (1st Simonson issue).

I actually like the Cardy Superman covers- and I think that's one of the better ones. (thumbs u

Very sweet! Too bad Aquaman isn't on the cover because his origin is in the issue!

Aquaman had to get less respect than any significant character. He first appeared in 1941 in More Fun #73 and never showed up on a cover until Brave and the Bold #28 in 1960 with four other superheroes. I can't imagine any other character spent their first 19 years without appearing on a cover.

I only have about half of my original purchases. During a move about 30 years ago the other half didn't make it to the new house. I didn't even realize it until 10 years later.

Interesting tidbit that I didn't know. Hard to believe he wasn't on a cover before then.

 

I'm a member of the club! I bought this back in the late 70's precisely because it had Aquaman's origin. There wasn't a premium on it back then. Definitely could use an upgrade at some point.
