THE PARK AVENUE COLLECTION 4 4

[originalisbest]

Very nice and a wide variety of books, Marty! Thanks for sharing them -- it's very interesting to hear what you thought about them at the time, and when certain ones were much anticipated but hard to get (Superboy #1)!

[Marty Mann]

Thank you...little did I know that when I was buying comic books off

the newsstand and from the corner store in the 40's that I would be

sharing electronic scans of them some 70 years later.

In going through my books to find FEATURE BOOK #41 "THE KATZENJAMMER

KIDS", I also found these other FEATURE BOOKS.

Sunday was always the day my Father and I would go to the train

station, he would pick up a Philadelphia paper and I would get to

choose a comic book...one's that I didn't see at my local newsstand.

There right next to a huge selection of pulps were books like these...

Supersnipe liked the Shadow too.

Blackstone did this little illo.

Some of the Blackstone covers were done by EC Stoner.

Now that I've randomly scanned over 300 books from my collection

it's time to go back and begin scanning the rest in some order starting

with the A's...

Great Christmas cover.

[Marty Mann]

Working through the A's I ran across this one.

Such a neat cover.

and I don't think I see that one very often. Maybe issues near the end of the run are more rare.

[Marty Mann]

Another one I haven't seen in a long time.

[Marty Mann]

This one had an interesting group of villains.

I like this one. Alan, like Brando and James Dean, seemed to prefer the Triumph to Harley or Indian. They were supposed to be faster, I think. Elvis rode a Harley and Roy Rogers road an Indian. Jack, Dennis and Peter rode custom Harleys... and I used to ride a Suzuki.

Thanks...as I go through scanning them, I'm finding so many that

I forgot I even had...and reading some of them again for the first

time in 60+ years.
