check out the link for Mystery in Space 51-75 with the early Adam Strange covers, beginning with #53

[blowout]

these were all purchased by me at Sid's Lucheonette in Orange, NJ, circa 1962-1964.

 

What a great store this must have been.

 

Thanks once again for posting some of your beautiful books.

Fantastic books! Thanks for sharing them with us. I love the old space sci-fi covers as well, and Adam Strange rules. I have a copy of #75, in close, not but quite as nice, condition as yours. Mine came back a 9.0. with OW/W.

man that's a great site!!!!! Thanks for the Link kinda like the proposed Gerber DC volumes would have been like.

 

i have every issue of MIS from #53 up to the last Adan Strange around 103 or so. the ones from 60 to 74 are very nice but not as nice as the ones i posted. i think #58 might be my all-time favorite - i bought that one second hand at the used book stores down in Newark in the very early sixties.........

sure - probably one of the nicest G/VG copies you'll see. (the tears on the right edge and ULC really drag it down, but otherwise still pretty to me ) it's what you get going through the 7-for-a-quarter stacks back in 1962/63. the book is from march 1960.

i'm bumping this for the east coast working crowd who may not have seen #58...

This is not a title I am that familiar with, but those are just stunning books and it's great to see them.

 

p.s. Does Sid's Luncheonette still exist ? And more to the point, where did Sid store all the unsold copies from the spinner rack ?

 

it's pretty amazing to me how many folks aren't familiar with some of the secondary titles of the DC universe in the SA.

 

Sid has probably left this world by now - when i was working for him selling his papers outside the store on Sunday mornings he had solid grey/white hair. he would probably be about 90+ now. i'm not sure what kind of store is there now - good question. next time i stop down in Orange for our quarterly visit to the Star Tavern for the world's best thin-crust-pizza, i will check it out.......

 

and isn't that cover with the two planets about to collide, awesome??

 

All of those covers and books are awesome.

BB,

Just friggin' beautiful books! Thanks for the preview!

[burntboy]

thanks FFB and Diva - just hope CGC sees them in a kind light

 

later this week, i'm gonna do some Wonder Woman for Joanna and then follow in the weeks to come with my HG batmans, flashes, etc.......

PS are you coming to SD?

 

Nope.

 

Haven't had a vacation in 6 years, and I probably won't have one for another 5. I have to be available to "man the ship" at all times, since contracts tend to pop up at a moment's notice. Sure it's money, but it dosen't leave me much room for travelling.

last bump in case anyone missed these cool DC's..............

[Red Hook]

You can bump these till the cows come home, my man! Absolutely stunning! WOW! Talk about an overdose of eye candy!
