Justice League of America #146: Fine-. LOVED these 60-cent late '70s Giant books as a kid...but at .60 each, DC might as well have charged 20 bucks for 'em. Or that's at least how my parents saw it!!

 

$1

 

SOLD!!!

Justice League of America #159: VG+. Another over-sized issue (from DC's 44-page experiment in 1978), with a very cool JLA-JSA team-up story, featuring a bunch of oddball and unexpected characters as well.

 

$1

 

SOLD!!!

Famous First Edition C-30 - Sensation Comics #1 Hardbound w/dustjacket (1974): Not super easy to find in any grade, these hardcover editions of DC's Bronze Age "Famous First Edition" treasuries--sort of like an early attempt at "upscale" "Masterworks"/"Archives" type releases--were co-published by DC Comics and Lyle Stuart (a book publisher in New Jersey), and sold in bookstores (as opposed to newsstands, convenience stores, etc.) back in the mid/late 1970s.

 

This is an EXACT (oversized) reprint of Sensation Comics #1 (the first full Wonder Woman story after All-Star Comics #8, complete with interior glossy front and back covers and all the original ads).

 

The dustjacket on this copy has some tape repairs and tears, etc., and there's an original "Waldenbooks" price sticker on the front flap of the DJ, but the interior book, binding, and pages are VF/NM or better. Overall, a VERY nice copy of this hard-to-find BA treasury.

 

$50

Famous First Edition F-6 - Wonder Woman #1 Hardbound w/dustjacket (1975): Same series as the DC/Lyle Stuart Sensation #1 listed above. Not easy to find in ANY grade these days!!!

 

This is an EXACT (oversized) reprint of Wonder Woman #1: the first full Wonder Woman stories in her own title, complete with all the original ads, but excluding the interior glossy front and back covers which were part of the earlier releases in this series (I guess DC got cheap! Note that the original back cover is printed on the back of the dust jacket.)

 

The dustjacket on this copy has some general wear and small tears, etc. (but NO tape). There's also an original "Waldenbooks" price sticker on the front flap of the DJ; one interior page is creased; and another is slightly "crinkled" (probably from bad storage). But otherwise the interior book, binding, and pages are VF/NM or better. Overall, a VERY nice copy of this hard-to-find hardbound BA treasury.

 

$40

Page 1:

Action Comics #486: F/VF $1

Action Comics #487: Fine. 44-page issue with a top-shelf Garcia-Lopez cover! $1

Action Comics #490: Fine+. First 40-cent issue. $1

Action Comics #491: Fine. Hawkman crossover + Brainiac. Cool story, too! $1

 

Page 2:

DC Special Series #10: VG+. Cool 60-cent "origins" Giant from '78 with interior art by the vastly under-rated Don Newton, and yet another stellar cover by Garcia-Lopez. What a great era!! $3

DC Special Series #11 - Flash Spectacular: VG. Cool '78 "Dollar Comic" with (yep) yet another era-defining cover by Garcia-Lopez. And Gorilla Grodd, too!!!! $3

Mister Miracle #24: VF. Michael Golden (pencils) and Russ Heath (inks!) deliver some of THE best DC artwork of this period in a VERY strong story scripted by well-known oddball Marvelite Steve Gerber. A true winner! $2

Sgt. Rock #302: VG-. First "Sgt. Rock" titled issue (formerly "Our Army at War"), a killer cover by Kubert, plus a lead story by Kanigher-Kubert-Springer. Pretty cool! $2

Showcase #104: F/VF. More cool, offbeat war stories scripted by Kanigher, and another great cover by Joe Kubert. $2

Teen Titans #42: Good. Cover and art by the justifiably legendary Nick Cardy. 'Nuff said!!! $1

 

Page 4:

Adventure Comics #431: VG-. Very cool (and often very violent by BA standards!) Spectre series by Michael Fleisher and Jim Aparo begins. Classic! $3

Adventure Comics #432: G/VG. More Spectre weirdness! $2

Adventure Comics #433: VG. Aparo! Spectre! And a cool seance cover, too! $2

Adventure Comics #434: VG+. Spectre! Killer cover! $2

Page 5:

Adventure Comics #438: VF+. Angry gorillas!!!! Nice copy! $7

Adventure Comics #439: Fine-. $3

Adventure Comics #440: VG. Last Spectre issue. $2

Batman #238 (DC 100-Page Super Spectacular #8): Classic wraparound all-hero cover by Neal Adams from early 1972! Would be VG+ or so, but the front cover only is separated from the spine 1.5" or so from the bottom lhc up. Still a presentable copy of an always in-demand book!! $12

Batman #256: Good-. The classic Giant Penny story alone is worth the price of admission! $2

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #233: Fair/Good. Great interiors by Sherman and Nasser (on the backup story). Not sure why this title, from this period, never really caught fire with collectors -- very strong material (art and stories) for the era.

 

FREE w/any Superboy/Legion purchase!
