Post the Nicest book(s) you own nobody else care?

Here's another title that draws widespread disinterest:

 

 

 

 

 

Hepcat,

 

That yellow 80 pager is immaculate. Cool books. (thumbs u

Here's another sure fire yawn inducer.

 

# 6

While comic fans as a whole would probably be unimpressed, that one could be popular with fans of the TV series.

 

[frozentundraguy]

Here's a character who has a limited following. I have wondered if Mr. Tomorrow might have done better with a less alliterative name.

 

[Hepcat]

Hah! I was going to scan my own Tommy Tomorrow covers for this thread but you beat me to it! And that one may be my favourite in the run.

 

Tommy Tomorrow was like Aquaman in a way, meaning he was an existing backup feature before he got his own tryouts as the title character in Showcase. He had a lengthy run in Action Comics from #127-251 and then moved over to World's Finest from #102-124. Unlike Aquaman though, Tommy Tomorrow sadly didn't graduate to his own ongoing title. Philistines!

I only have one more Tommy Tomorrow, and it's in very average shape.

I just love the Lee Elias artwork on the Showcase appearances of Tommy Tomorrow!

I dont have many House of Mystery books, but the LCS had a sale a couple of days back. This book has something in common with Thrill-O-Rama #3, as both were published in December of 66.

Great Book. I, for one, am a huge Nemesis fan. The best covers of the silver age came from ACG IMHO.

I think I saw 9 of the first 10 Herbies in here but not #1, so;

Found a much more obscure title that I've never seen mentioned before;

 

John Steele Secret Agent #1 from Gold Key;

Holy mackeral! I have never seen a Herbie #1 in person. Always wanted a copy and being a high grade snob, this book is just unbelievably beautiful.

 

Thanks for posting it!

You bet... (thumbs u

 

Actually, I don't think Herbies necessarily belong in this thread, but since there were 9 others, i figured what the heck. I only purchased the first three as I gave up collecting in 1964, but there all as nice as this one...

[scooter99]

Oh, the Herbie's definitely belong here! I saw issues 4-10 at a shop in Santa Cruz in the late 70's, but never a #1. I always wanted a copy. The best part of this forum is to see scarce books like this.

Well, what I mean is, I actually think there are collectors out there who do care about Herbie in Forbidden Worlds and in his own book. Most of the other more obscure titles seem to belong here...

[Hepcat]

While the Herbie title is outside the mainstream (meaning something other than SA Marvel or DC) , I think there's a small but dedicated group of Herbie collectors out there.

 

Hmmmm, maybe, maybe, a new thread?

Here are scans of my Showcase comics featuring that most intrepid of explorers, Cave Carson:

Incredible condition and colors on those books, & well worth the wait.

 

The blue on #42 and green on #44 are mind bogglingly terrific.
