That's an AWESOME run you've got there!!! Having them raw is a GREAT way to enjoy this ever-changing line up of short-lived, early characters!

Here’s my lousy Mystic group 😝

Just grabbed this out of storage! I got it from John Verzyl MANY years ago (if you saw him at shows, you likely saw these) and never displayed it. It's canvas stretched over a wood frame, but I don't remember the process used to apply to image to the canvas. He told me but I forgot. He also told me that he didn't really sell these except to the person who bought the corresponding book. These are large at 20x30! I'm glad he let me buy two of them.

That is seriously cool!

My only 3 Mystics. Still, very happy to have these!

Nice! The 2nd series #1 has always eluded me but I got the rest 

[Primetime]

Here’s a close up of my #3. Schomburg’s superior detail with machinery (gauges, hoses, dials, and switches) is on display here while the mask of death is being lowered 😳

Blue Blaze’s full length swimming speedo always kills me 😛

Goodman’s trademark sidebar is in full effect 😎

I LOVE the sidebar, always have, always will!!! Interesting note on the sidebars; Marvel Mystery #7 was the first Timely to feature the character sidebar, with the Mystic #3 being the only other (non-Marvel Mystery) early Timely to have one on the cover. They're both the only ones that have the cover featured character in the sidebar alongside the other characters inside the comic! I had thought of trying to assemble a sub-set of just the Timely issues with the character sidebar (8 in total), but that would be a very expensive endeavor these days!!! I guess I could start, but I've only got one currently.

I have half the represented Timely's; ...if I had any more sidebars it would look like a NYC courtroom!

Love those Schomburg sidebars. Something I posted last year. I think those are all of them

That's very cool ... and it caught one that I somehow missed!!!  There are 9 total character sidebars!

Thanks! Btw, this is the other one I got from him. Not a Timely, so please excuse the different publisher in the Timely thread.

This is cool and I remember when you first created it. I think we should include the 9 (text sidebar) even though there are no characters in it 😀

Wasn’t there a “rat chew” thread on the boards?  This would be a candidate!
