HemiGTX Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Love the Church copy of Kid Colt 2 (first series) on the Worldwide site. Not that I'm willing to pay that kind of money for it! That book sold on C-Link last winter for around $1,800....... Could have purchased it then but I'll stick with the Vancouver copy. I think the wrap is much better and the corners are sharper.

Dr. Love Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yeh baby. This Vancouver is fantastic. Your Kid Colt run is just out of this world. 30 years in the making, I can believe it. Was that a pic of you reading the #3 from 1949? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonwad Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Booyah pards. Have yourself a giddyap New Years Great looking book. I really liked the Heath art in AK #2 so I'm glad to see adamstrange give his approval on the Heath art in this one. Moves it up higher on my want list.

HemiGTX Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yeh baby. This Vancouver is fantastic. Your Kid Colt run is just out of this world. 30 years in the making, I can believe it. Was that a pic of you reading the #3 from 1949? Thank you for the kind comments sir I wish that was me in the photo. I would have gently read through the stories, lovingly tucked it away in between the pages of an encyclopedia, stored it in a cool dry place, and squirreled it away for the next 65 years. Unfortunately I'm a Gen X'er and was born in 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Unfortunately I'm a Gen X'er and was born in 1969. Yeh but you collect like a Baby Boomer - determined, with drive and focus! No slacking. So let's call it a late arrival to the party, and make you an Honorary Boomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I totally agree with you jimbo on the early Atlas westerns. There are many under appreciated covers, interiors, and stories!!! The Vancouver books are breathtaking. The KC #2 has always been entombed since I purchased it. But I've seen some raw books and usually all of them have blindingly white pages that feel like they were just printed. I guess the colder you can keep your books the better (not in the fridge or freezer please) Here's one of my favorite earlier Kid Colt's. This cover seems to have it all. And a Maneely to boot................................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's call it a late arrival to the party, and make you an Honorary Boomer. That sounds great to me. I'll gladly take that honor and daydream of the kind of world my Dad grew up in. If we could combine the greatest things about today's technology with the simplicity, integrity, and morals of the Golden Age, wow what a great world that would be to live in... My first "big purchase" Kid Colt comic. Age: 10 (circa 1980) Place: Comic City in uptown Minneapolis (still there) Cost: $12 Some how I kept it from age 10 until age 38, and it still graded out an (8.5).

That's the only one I have. It's one my favorite goofy GA covers. You are right, though, it does make you think that they were right on deadline and had no cover, so the guy in the mailroom was pressed into service to draw something.
