What is your favorite All-Star Comics issue?

What is your favorite All-Star Comics issue? I'm hoping to pick up a Golden Age All Star ASAP. What is a good one to get? Cost will play a factor, of course.

33 is my favorite. Quite possibly one of my all time favorite covers period.

 

My grail was 12. Picked that up in the fall, awesome cover! And there are a handful of others including #3.

Tough to argue with 3, but since I don't have one, I'll vote #4. The JSA's 1st adventure, and a template for team comics for decades!

No question that # 3 is historic and significant. But I just love the cover of # 33 with the menacing Solomon Grundy. Plus it was the first All Star I ever owned, so it holds a warm spot in my heart.

The 27 is one of my all time favorite GA covers and I just picked up this copy.

 

 

I also love #12

35, but only because it is the only issue I own!!

 

Future plans include an earlier issue, great covers on 8-16; so one of those next.

33 is my second favorite...followed by the space 50's and then 3, 8, 12, etc

If cost is a factor (meaning no #3) this is the one for me. The soldier standing in front of a great cast of heroes summons up so much of what I love about the golden age - great superheroes, World War II and American pride.

My fav!

I like 33 and 36 about the same. But I prefer that you look for an issue 33 since I already have one. I still need a 36. Nice story though too.

Reading the only issue I have, issue 13, for the first time was an exciting experience. Every ten pages or so there was a new artist and writer showing their signature characters battling evil on each planet of our solar system. Spectre, Wonder Woman, Hawkman... simply the best, craziest story I've read, and as involving as the books of the late 60's/early 70's.

#7 because it is the only issue I own. I picked it up in August at the Chicago Comic-Con.

 

Hopefully it will be the first of many All Stars that I will own someday.

38 - Black Canary appearances begin.

Why does Wonder Woman look line Ant-Man in #27?

[shrunkenhead]

Wow, such a tough call. I think most of my faves have already been named. The 33 has that super-amazing, oft-swiped cover. #38 has the famous "death" story, which was definitely something of a new trick in those days. The #27 has that great historic cover.

 

I'd also suggest some of the overlooked issues in the 40's and early 50's, if you can find 'em. The 51 is a personal favorite. Great science-fictiony stuff.

57. I own a reprint of it. Cool black cover. Fun (and educational) story. Last appearance of several GA superheroes. And it's an Eiffel Tower cover.
