Show me your Timely's and I'll show you mine. Have a Cigar... 30 30

I love that cover of Cap #34... its actually one of my favorites... though whats up with the Dutch maiden tied up? Why a Dutch girl?

 

It's a McGuffin isn't it? The fact that she is dutch is what makes the cover memorable.

 

McGuffin? It isn't a Hitchcock movie. Unless it's Foreign Correspondent with the windmill scene.

 

Hitchcock has no copyright on its usage - it's in common parlance!

 

He made it famous- at least on this side of the ocean.

is stan lee going to continue signings? I did not see that he would at the NYC Con in October.Two USA #15's both are undergraded.

 

I always wanted a Cap cover where he was riding an Indian motorcycle. The price is probably a little high due to the rarity of the later USA comics.but it is still worth a try.

Absolutely Dan! As in the unforgettable long take down the staircase that ends up focused on the key in Ingrid Bergman's hand in "Notorious."

Fixed that.

Sorry Ron!! Please pardon my nominal aphasia! Dan is of course my other pal buttock.

 

When Alec Guinness wrote his autobiography he called it "My name escapes me". I can relate!

A lucky find...

[sartre]

Thats one hard book to find.... Question? What are the most scarce of all Timely's out there, in grade or out of grade?

Not a terribly hard book to find... But Subby's head is one strange triangle..

I don't mean to derail a comic thread with film talk, but here goes. In Notorious another example of a MacGufffin is the the wine bottles filled with uranium. Important to the movie characters, but not necessarily to the audience, it is there to to motivate them into action. It has no real importance outside of that. It is a MacGuffin.

I would say Daring, Daring mystery is a pretty scarce series. Gay, USA and Young Allies comics are also scarce timely series.When it comes to ultra rare I would say the Marvel Mystery and Captain America 132 pagers are up there near the top.

 

 

 

 

[sartre]

But what specific issues would be considered the most rare?

[Electron]

Here's a pair of difficult Timelys to find. Some say they are the toughest of each run.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[mrchocholat]

The 132 pagers of marvel mystery and captain america are both single issues.

 

The marvel mystery 92 is actually one of the rarer ones being the last. Great book!

[sartre]

Awesome Daring #3... Not seeing many Daring's like I used too..especially the later issues..

[mrchocholat]

I know fewer and fewer ones seem to be in circulation... Maybe modern day hoarders?!

[Badger]

 

 

 

oh man, these boards really need a drool icon.

[sartre]

I think this one is pretty tough to find

[BB-Gun]

I added a few Timely issues recently. I think one of these is new.
