Bronze-Age key list

[COI]

I know that there are a lot of Bronze Age collectors on this board, so I was wondering if anyone had a compiled list of major and 2nd tier keys(to me, Neal Adams covers are keys) of the bronze age(Marvel and DC) up to and including 1975. I need help particularly on the DC end, especially with all those horror books running around. Any help would be great, especially if it'll save me some time from straining my eyes and the spine of my HC Overstreet.

Holy MOS!

 

Getting a full Neal Adams cover list was one of my priorities, and not only is there a list, but full images and un-used covers as well.

 

Thanks Bro!

By the way MOS, if you're into modern books, you should check out the current Batman run, starting from #608 w/Jim Lee, if you haven't already. Good stuff.

I agree with you, I should because not only am I interested in Batman as a character, but Jim Lee is one of my favorite modern artists. Where do you think I could get the best deal? Maybe I should pay a visit to the local paperback exchange/comic shop? Ya know what's funny? I havn't visited a comic shop more than 3 times in the past 9 years! I could probably get a discount on new stuff, but the cover prices are still too high IMO. Although, I've been thinking about making regular visits if for no other reason than to meet other collectors in my area. I dunno, I'm still tossing around the idea.

I just ran by 2 comic stores today, one to make a CGC submission, and the other to pick up money owed to me, and in both places the first issue of the run(608) was marked up above cover. Alternatively, because of demand the book is already in a second printing, so I'm guessing you could grab one of those for cover. I would check in your area though. Either way, it will be worth it, especially if you like his art. Jim Lee, and Batman go well together.
