felt the need to post a g.a. "cool" book, and remembered this one. extremely cool imo.

 

 

Indeed, this is way cool. Unheard of in high grade and perhaps one of the rarest Timley's [if not the rarest?] in 7.0 grade and higher.

Some nice ones have come up at auction the last couple of months, they will be back. I saw theres a Mile High # 3.

prize 1-3 are undeniably cool;

Prize 4 ain't too shabby either...

[sacentaur]

...and how about Prize 5 (San Fran/Tom Reilly copy)?

 

 

In my experience, Prize 1 (a very cool book) is the most common amongst the early issues - I've seen a half-dozen different copies for sale in the last year alone.

this has become a "post your prize comics in ascending order" thread. and thru 5, it's one heckuva cool run.

In comics, I think that creative innovation has very often followed shortly after business disruption. You see these brilliant, raw creative bursts within a couple years after the dawn of each comic era as the creators see that the rules have changed and start to figure out what they can do with that.

 

In the golden age, I think of Supes 1-10 (or so) as the definition of cool. They'd started to figure out what gives a cover punch, but it is still raw and unrefined. I always think of that initial run as the magic that defines the golden age.

Ajax/Farrell titles are usually hum-drum, post-code yawners, but I just found this at an estate auction for $7.50.

 

I don't think I've ever seen this book before (Midnight 4), but it just screamed cool when I saw it.

 

[Hepcat]

This one defines cool with both its subject matter and the, actually very hot, colours:

 

 

[VintageComics]

I love books that have a retro feel to them, so for me this counts as cool. Just picked it up.

 

What do you guys think?
