I agree, this book has always been high on my "would like to own some day" list.

Here's one of the 'little brothers' to Rick's copy. Mine's restored, but still a looker!

I agree...that copy looks every bit as nice as mine, probably for much less cost... a wise purchase (thumbs u

 

I sometimes loose site of why I like restored books!

ronaldo, sometimes a book may not seem the best of the run, but then along can come such a pristine, magnificent, dare i say virtual paragon example of said issue that suddenly it can bedazzle one into thinking it is indeed the best comic in a title. i present just such a case, and in fact the VERY LAST book i needed to fill my global run some time ago. i've been approached by the timely mile highs owner about a swap, but my momma never raised no fool.

 

the tape serves no purpose whatsoever [and would be better described as "insignificant"], and it's just a scanning anomaly that makes the bottom left corner appear as if it has been burned off by the incinerator on the opposite side. the "42" in the logo is NOT on the book per se, but is written on the slab itself. there's a typo in the label [not "lable" gator]; the paper is actually "white to off-white." i'd send it in to get reslabbed, but can't trust the mails to get it there and back; if gator's detectives were found desirable by some compensated carrier, imagine the temptation this book would stir.

 

any takers?

going to post a few with labels (sometimes I type too fast, cuz, unlike a few select folks, I have to work for a living, and don't have time to type carefully )

first is billy's former nemesis turned mistress

followed by the enlightened proclaimed "toughest " issue

[G.A.tor]

and since #10 I have posted, might as well start at # 1.... rest will have to wait for the group shot

[TheEyeSees]

Geez ... those are some pretty Timely's Rick!!! Amazing score!! Love that #4!!

 

Are you done the run officially?

I love that cover! I especially like Richie's copy of that book.

 

Maybe if I go back and re-read the Action # 1 thread again, I can glean a few pointers on how to best defraud Mr. Evans out of his copy and rationalize the whole sordid affair away with a clear conscience. (thumbs u

[Straw-Man]

way to go gator; some wonderful mystics. see you changed your mind on the 1, eh?
