Church Runs (or lack thereof)

[Transplant]

See my sig line for the run I'm trying to put back together, Dell Wyatt Earp. I only have 1 at the moment. And, as I mentioned to some folks last weekend, every day that goes means less and less interest in putting it back together.

 

My sigs are turned on and I see other people's, but I do not see yours

I just noticed Dena did not put my sig back after my hiatus. Oh well. I'll get around to it.

I believe that Steve F. has a complete run of Planet Comics if I am not mistaken. I know a boardie who owns many of the Mile High copies of Blue Beetle from issue #48 onward. One day I hope those to be mine

 

Not if I get to them first

 

 

If you do, then we both know that I will end up with them eventually.

 

Only if you trade me a Batman 1

 

Are you sure you wouldn't want a Tec27 instead Bill?

 

I love comic books

I know bunky brian has a large chunk of church AMF's....

I am going to slowly try and put the Church Silver Streak run back together. Only have 2 so far but I imagine the 1, 6, and 7 may not see the open market for a LONG time. Probably couldn't afford the 1 or 6 anyway

 

As soon as RHG finishes his Church 1-26 run I will be robbing his house so I might have that in the future as well

Steve F. had the whole run of Church Thrillings on the Metro site about a year ago. My understanding is that he was trying to sell them as a set. They're not on the site anymore, but I don't know if he sold them or just pulled them from the site.

 

Mark Wilson had the Excitings, but broke them up back in his World's Finest days. I bought the #17 and #31 from him. I sold the #17 many years ago, but still have the #31.

 

I had a number of the Excitings from Mark... 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 10,11, 12, 13 and couple more but sold them off for art and other stuff...

 

had the Nationals thru 26 (helped to pay for the Planet 1 cover), Cracks thru 25, Smashes 11-27....gone with the wind....

I have been trying for years to reassemble the Church run of Detective 1-26, but so far only have acquired a little over a third of those copies.

 

If you combined Mark Zaid's and my More Fun Collections, you would have most of the Church copies after #56.

 

use to have the 5 (used to buy a great page from Spider-Man 6. I have the Church 'tec 6 (about F/F+)

I think RHG has the 5 now if my memory serves me right

[jbcomicbox]

You have the complete Church runs of those Fox titles??

 

 

It took me about twelve years to put the Wonderworlds back together again...jon

 

Jon, how can you make a statement like that, and not post the complete run??!! For 12 years of dedication, at least show off the goods

 

Here is a start---unfortunately, scanning does not do them justice....Church are the rare books that look better outside the mylar than in it...

[jeffb]

Those Wonderworld Comics blow me away, WOW

[Gone Phishin']

There we go!! Thanks for the eye candy! Any interesting stories in tracking down the last couple issues?

Having seen these books in person I fully agree. Magnificent comics!

I am going to slowly try and put the Church Silver Streak run back together.

Good luck with that Ro. A collector friend has most of the run from 7-17 and says they will be the last comics he parts with. (I got dibs ) The two he is missing are on Metro's site.

I have a friend who has a large chunk of the Justice Traps the Guilty run. He got them from Verzyl, who wouldn't break them up because he was afraid the non Kirby issues wouldn't sell. GOD BLESS...

I know we talked about it

 

You have dibs..........but only so you can keep the 7 and sell the rest to me right?

[Flash105]

Has anyone tried putting and Air Fighters or Airboy run together? The one thing that tells me these are held for long periods of time is that there are sizable numbers that have not been slabbed.

No. But a bit of a story on WW3 which I got in 1993. I got it from Ron Pussel. Sent my money out to Ron on the West Coast and he sent in UPS Air express for next day delivery.

 

Except it did not arrive the next day.....nor the next day....

 

UPS could not find it in their system (Ron had all the paper work)....

 

Finally five days overdue, it arrived. Altho scanned in for air delivery, the sent it by land and it simply did not reflect in its system.

 

I was afraid I was going to be one of those horror stories.

 

Jon

[jbcomicbox]

oh, and here is the last WW. Note that these probably were slated to be books in the short-lived US Jones title

 

[jbcomicbox]

a couple more

[jbcomicbox]

but enough of these....any knowledge of other runs still out there...Any feelings about them being broken up.....?
