PGM Sub-mariner 29

[Hado]

It's no pretty Namor 1 but its still a 15 cent Sub....mmmm 15 cent sub

[vaillant]

Love this cover, I’ll be back to guess my grade…

[vaillant]

In the process of learning…

A checklist for the grade VF says "No obvious visible soiling. staining, or other discoloration, except for minor staple rust migration.", so I guess the apparent discoloration in the upper right corner and along the right side may map this out of the VF range?

Otherwise I would have said an introductory VF- 7.5, if the cover lies pretty flat…

[Hado]

It does lay flat, I wish I could find my camera to get some closeup's but I'd agree that, and its other problems would keep it in or near VF

[vaillant]

I have checked mine and I think yours looks better. It doesn’t have discoloration, but more non-breaking spine issues.

My poor books get no love

[vaillant]

Generally speaking, there is no love for Subby after the War.

I must start to read his adventures…

[MR SigS]

15 cent sub won't help if a footlong is $5

[Hado]

I'll post a 20 cent sub then

[vaillant]

I am missing the humour but I love Hado's books too…

[Hado]

In North America we have a store called Subway, they have submarine sandwiches. I don't know if you have them there, it's basically a long sandwich. They've got a deal for $5, I was just wishing it was 15 cents like the book.

My most extreme experience have been the Taco Bells when I went to Los Angeles in 1991. Most extreme not in the sense I actually eat tacos (I went for some fried chicken, I think) but was funny to see a Mexican-flavored fast food chain, as "fast foods" hardly had a strong success in Italy.

[MR SigS]

Probably why you have healthier hearts over there.

 

But then again, I stuffed myself like a pig when I visited Naples. AWESOME PIZZA'S!!! I must have ate 3 or 4 in a row. They're smaller with healthier toppings (but no less flavor for those not in the know).

[Hado]

Mmmmmm

I didn't want to start another PGM thread featuring the same book - Sub-Mariner 29.

 

Hado, I apologize for reviving/hijacking this thread.

 

I really think the art and story in this one = A+! Sal Buscema really did a good job as you can see from the cover and interior art.

 

Anyway, Sub-Mariner gets absolutely no love as a Bronze Age Marvel. Not sure why. I think the Sub-Mariner character is awesome. That's just me.

 

 

Anyway, I'll be putting this copy up on eBay in the next couple of weeks.

Nice copy, is that a crease or tear on the BC
