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

But if the rivet run was the biggest event, GAtor's Catmans ran them a strong second and - I dont know - considering just how downright rare some of the issues are, maybe I have them and the Planets in the wrong order?

 

Here are the three I was recklessly willing to take the entire run to make sure I got!

 

 

 

[Straw-Man]

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:

 

 

 

 

great googly moogly!!!!

[Straw-Man]

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:

 

 

 

 

great balls of fire!!

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:

Well thank goodness you dont need copies of those numbers - what language might you have used then?!

Picked this up. Love the black cover WWII issue. But this was the first year in about 5 that I didn't add to my cartoon first appearances collection.

Some really fantastic stuff.... One of my favorites is that Jungle Comics #11... Dinosaurs are cool.

I'm going to keep these two in mind for the next time you want to pry a book outta me.

Those - and a crowbar - should do it!

For cover and interior, Raboy doesn't get any better than this!

I have been heartened by the continued expansion of GA books in the Sales Forum.

 

There were three notably pleasing copies that I was able to obtain, amongst which was this Central Valley jewel from Inaflash.

 

 

A magnificently red giant of Mighty Mouse from alanna

 

 

Inside the rather tame cover is the cartoon biography of a cruelly corrupt soul, courtesy Pokerkid.

Think I found 11 books this year that are list worthy, the best one is on the way soon but not in hand yet

 

 

This makes me cry
