I like Nestor Redondo.  Really liked his work on Rima, the Jungle Girl.  Seems like no one ever discusses him.

There's a thread over in Bronze Age.

I got into it pretty heavily for a kid.  I even went to stamp conventions. 

I wouldn't worry too much about it being a waste of money.  A few years ago I priced my collection and it was pretty much worthless even though I still had every stamp and had taken great care of it over the years.

I was not worried about the value of the collection itself whenever my dad sold it off. In fact I can't recall missing it-- it just sort of disappeared one day. -- more about that I wasted money ordering all those stamps -- many of which seemed bogus. It wasn't a ton of money but I would have been so much better off spending that cash on comics instead. I also had a pen pal during this time and the kid was really needy after I sent him some foreign stamps one time -- always asking me to "send him more stamps" - killed the pen pal thing totally as it felt like the only thing they cared about was me forking over more stuff like I owed it to him-- really weird.

Yeah, a lot of the stamps being pushed on kids back then were worthless right from the start...like all those foreign triangle stamps.

The costume and that it's a team there.  It's the later, second uniform of the Challengers once they stopped wearing the purple jumpsuits.

It does indicate Silver Age, doesn't it?  The art as well.

I’ve only read a small bit of Challengers. I have a DC Archive and a few other stories, but need to check out more.

The only one I have reprints the early Kirby stories.
