Here's another rare example of that same issue. This time a Swedish Edition! One of the reasons that I love these foreign editions is that they frequently make artistic changes which make them a bit more unique. In THIS case, Two-Face kind of becomes One-Face as they redraw the damaged part of his face!!! Larryw7 and Drgoldage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, they made some changes and added a base at the bottom area of the totem pole and eliminated the shadow from the pole. Kinda cool. I really dig the Joker covers!!!

Make no mistake RM, I'm VERY happy with what I got and hope I didn't come off as being ungrateful for the additions to my collection, as I was conveying the details of the story. I was just trying to paint the full picture and the part that was missed out on was a big part of that story. Wow, YOU got the "Paul" collection??? I had no idea, but I HAVE seen several of the books, posted here and around the hobby! You're spot on about us needing to stay quiet about collections as they are unveiling themselves to us, unless we want to get weaseled out of the mix! With one exception for me, is my buddy of almost 30 years! I do my best to include him in on the fun, unless I can't, like I'm somewhere and it's going down right then and there, and he isn't around. It's more fun when everyone gets some books! The first one on the “Paul” collection was actually Ed Robertson out of AZ. He got most of the All Star, Detective and Batman (including a low grade #1) and a bunch of non key PCH. I met Joe and Bonnie (the buyers of the collection), at a local toy show. He had two magazine boxes of GA and tons of other later comics, fanzines, sci fi books ect on their table. I went through them and probably bought almost a box full. I then told my friend Jim Malley, the show promoter and he bought a ton of stuff as well. Very little competition since most people were toy people. It took a month or so to get to see more until they felt comfortable with me. They felt that Ed had taken advantage of them so they cut him off. They finally came to me with about 4 more boxes. I remember buying a bunch of MLJ, Centaurs and Nedors including a very nice Exciting 39. Eventually, he had me over to his place after he pulled out about 4 boxes of GA out of Paul’s jumbled boxes. This went on for about 6 months. Jim bought mostly DC and Fawcett and I went for the rest. Sadly, Joe passed away a couple years ago. He was a great guy and we became good friends. I really miss those trips and the suprises that turned up in those boxes. One of the best collections I have ever seen turn up in the LA area. And a very well kept secret… gumption, Dark Knight, Drgoldage and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised it didn't get more applause. Maybe people are out celebrating the 4th already and are away from their electronics. Truly a group shot worthy of major league attention!!!
