I should have put a comma inbetween post-code and pre-hero when I started the thread. I meant for it to showcase post-code books, by any publisher, that were by definition published too late to be defined as Golden Age, but due to subject matter, have little in common with what we usually think of as Silver Age

 

Ahhh! In that case I definitetly retract my observation. And your effort is a fine one! 893applaud-thumb.gifthumbsup2.gif893applaud-thumb.gif

Thanks all...They are probably in F/VF or better?...A "couple" of pixels were filled in on the Mystery Tales, but the Mystical Tales I hardly "touched" ...I forget where and when Igot them, probably e-bay. I was looking for both, especially the Mystical Tales #4,

Nobody said it had to be a horror book!

 

Errrrrrrrrrr..............well..........no. smile.gif

 

But the term pre-hero actually refers to only four titles:

 

Strange Tales (in which 101 brought us the SA Human Torch - well didn't exactly BRING it to us - he already WAS in FF #1). I like to think of ST 110 (1st Doc Strange) as the real key).

 

Journy Into Mystery #83 - 1st app of THOR

 

Tales To Astonish #27 - first app of Henry Pym/soon to be Ant Man

 

Tales of Suspense #39 - first app of Iron Man.

 

And my apologies in advance. Am sure you know all this but heck! We got to preserve the pre-hero thang!

 

::edited cause I actually said STRANGE TALES 39 instead of TOS! I feel so POV! frown.gif

 

Hey POV. Don't forget DC had some post code, pre hero stuff too. My Greatest Adventure & Mystery in Space come to mind. Am I wrong? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

I have great memories of them as well, as my aunt and uncle had many late 50's - early 60's comics, 90% of which were the horror type...I still remember a Tales To Astonish #27 and an Amazing Spider-Man #3...They were all thrown out in the early 70's,
