Yes indeedy, PhotoJournals are important.

 

I kept every Overstreet from #4, eventually added #3 and #2, just for research materials, I was always thumbing through to look at pictures or try to ID a coverless book.

 

Between the Gerbers and the Grand Comic Database most of those painstaking searches are a piece of cake!

 

Hooray for Gerber Guides! Hooray for GCD!

7. CGC opens for business

8. The Gerber Photo Guide to comics is published

9. World War 2 paper drives wipe out a huge amount of GA comic books.
