Gator...I noticed you posted in CG that you have had the opportunity to see the new CGC cases. I am assuming they got your stamp of approval along with some of the other BIG Dawgs in the hobby. Im actually excited about these if the cases are clearer. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being SUPER DUPER COOL how would you rate these new cases? Are we talking like almost mylar-esque type of clear? Thanks buddy

 

hm

 

10 on a sliding scale.

What's the current market prices for Amazing Man #26?

Centaurs ? whats that

 

A mythical creature with the head, arms and torso of a man combined with equestrian legs and body.

 

Since it's mythical, it's gotta be rare. gw.gif

G.A. tor,

 

For someone looking to learn more about the Golden Age of comics, what resources do you recommend? I'm not necessarily talking about purchasing books, but every time I look, there's a new title I've never heard about.

 

Thanks!

The Gerber Photo-Journals are an excellent resource for covers, not so much to learn about the history, such as which books are important and why (except from a financial and theoretical scarcity perspective, and that info. is pretty outdated now). I know this has been covered in other threads, but here are some of the best materials to search for on the comics and their creators (esp., if obtained for a reasonable price through Amazon or other vendors):

 

Steranko's History of Comics Vol. I & II (oversized softcovers Supergraphics; reprinted)

 

All In Color For a Dime (Richard Lupoff; great articles collected about the GA of comics and passion for collecting them, new & used, HC or SC)

 

My Life in Comics (Joe Simon autobiography; lots of inside stories on the comics, publishers)

 

Add these to the Photo-Journal volumes and you'll be well on your way to GA nerd-dom! (thumbs u

 

the ga Gerbers are wonderful!

 

Agreed! :headbang:

What is the profit margin for a newsstand selling a 10c cover comic in 1930s compared to early 1960s?

 

from what I've read, 2-3c was profit in both eras

How can I get in touch with two comic book artists ?

 

The first one is Steve Santi, author of "Collecting little golden books". I have a question for him and wrote to info(at)thesantis.com, but the mail keeps coming back.

 

Second one is a colorist named Greg Theakston. Same here, mails to teasemag(at)mindspring.com keep coming back.

 

Do you have an idea how I can get my questions to the artists ? If somebody has their mail addresses, then I can forward my mails to him and he can forward it further.

 

Or write to me at dc-archiv(at)gmx.net

 

Or any other way ...

 

Bye,

 

Archi
