Top 11 GA Acquisitions of 2011. Post 'em if you got 'em.

424 posts in this topic

I've bought 8 books so far in 2011. My goal is to hit 9 before the end of the year.

 

This is my favorite new addition. Particularly important for me since my Mickey Mouse Magazine run is substantially nicer than my Walt Disney's Comics and Stories. This fills the most difficult remaining high grade gap in my combined run.

I don't know if I have 11, but the books below really stick out for me as books I truely sought out to find, some I have been looking for for several years. I am very lucky to have found these.

Great books guys - full of admiration. Mine has been a chaotic year in which for every book I have bought, I must've sold a dozen. I find scans dont really tell me the story - I need to have the book in my hands. Now there are books in my collection that I never tire of looking at, but others I thought I'd regard as keepers that simply fell from my hands. So out of all the books I bought and sold this year, here are 11 keepers. I was actually going to start a similar thread as I had done so last year. I only mention it because I'd thought I'd ask for a top 20! Getting this down to 11 is hard.

 

I guess the biggest thing that happened this year was the rivet run in mid- grade or higher. Still not quite there, and sold a few to buy others, but I'm very happy with the ones I've kept, thse two perhaps most of all:

In terms of new interests, I have to confess that Straw Man's epic quest to complete the Fawcett Raboy covers forced me to acknowledge that I had long admired them but never done anything about it. This year - in moderation - I did so. Here are a couple of the best:

At the beginning of the year I took a lot of Hit Comics from Straw Man thinking that would be the title I stuck with. I still think that some of the Hit covers are among the greatest things in comics - and I remain in awe of Lou Fine's consummate artistry. But in the end I let go of the Hits, though later in the year did manage to find a couple of Fox covers by Fine that seem to suit me better:
