JohnT Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I couldn't find a thread focused on this book, so I thought it would be fun to start one... ...especially since I joined the club today with this Ebay arrival... Coverdeath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've coveted this book since I was a kid. For me, it was always the Silver Age grail. Over the years I've learned the history of the period, and I would now place Showcase 4 above it in importance and desirability, but there's still something that takes my breath away about the first appearance of the Justice League that I don't feel for SC 4. I bet this comic struck kids the same way when they saw it on the newstands back in the winter of 1960. Coverdeath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a much stronger emotional attachment to the JLA than to Flash, and thus to B&B 28 over Showcase 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrTech Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Had one really liked it. But was the catalyst for selling off the collection. Got a pretty penny for it too.

Hey finally made it to 200 posts. :banana: (thumbs u Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey finally made it to 200 posts. :banana: (thumbs u Andrew One of the reasons I've been trying a little harder to get a copy is that even low grade copies seem to be getting pricey.
