Nope, none of those LSH Giants. But you're definitely raising my curiosity factor.

From 1956 Adventure comics 223. I always liked the Greek Mythology motif in the Superman Family of comics.

nice haul!

[steelcity]

What a great selection of pretty books and I bet they were reasonably priced. The #353 is perhaps the greatest single Legion issue. It is not often seen with no white at all on the spine and looking so clean as yours.

Here is a recent buy, from a more whimsical era of Adventure Comics.

The story is not so fantastical as the cover suggests. The Rip Van Winkle character has not magiacally been asleep for twenty years but rather been in a coma.

Element Lad rarely gets the cover spotlight but here are a few of his more prominent cover appearances:

 

 

There was a dealer I once knew who loved this cover so much he actually painted a copy for himself and displayed it at shows. I don't know if he ever sold it!

I like the Adventure Comics that have a real '50s feel to them and a mystery cover rather than a perilous one.

NIce buy. Love the colors especially the DC yellows!

[steelcity]

Another quaint issue from a bygone age!

You're sure right. They just don't draw covers like that anymore on DC or Marvel comics!

Is that a Win Mortimer cover? I like his stuff. Nice books Ian, those are rarely seen.

Yes, both the #203 and #205 are the distictive style of J Winslow. He was pencilling some great covers in the early '50s, especially, in my opinion, the Batman titles.

Here's a mid-1950s Adventure. It holds a special meaning for me. I bought it at the Shrine show here in Los Angeles, Calif. from Alan and Gary's Comics. Unfortutunaley, Gary passed away from cancer at a young age. He always gave me fair prices. This book looks real nice in the new mylar which I bought at Wonder Con from E. Gerber Products.

Still working on my legion run. Here's a bunch I picked up in a recent Heritage auction. A few upgrades, but mostly filling holes in my run.

My understanding is that he inked his own covers. I do agree that he did especially well with the Batman titles.
