Lets see those BIG 10 centers and still 10 Centers

[Hepcat]

 

I love those All-Star Western Johnny Thunders!

 

 

They may be the toughest of any DCs from 1961 to find though. In any event, they're right up (down?) there with Heart Throbs, Secret Hearts and Fox & the Crow in difficulty.

This issue always seemed hard to find in nice shape.

Did somebody say 'weird Detective covers'? This one's so bad, it's nearly good.

This one arrived today...

While the shift from 10 to 12 cents is a convenient way of separating the early silver age from the later silver age ( or "Marvel" age), visually and thematically I always lump the DC block 10 and block 12 and the Marvel/Atlas circle 10 and circle 12 books together as the transitional niche.

 

Perceptive thinking!

 

...thematically I always lump the DC block 10 ... and the Marvel/Atlas circle 10 ... together as the transitional niche. Even Charlton did something similar with it's oblong quadrilateral.

 

Hmmmmm. Maybe we could ask Frozentundraguy whether he wants to expand the mandate of this thread to Marvel/Atlas circle 10c and Charlton Still 10c comics.

 

 

I think we can allow the Marvel/Atlas circle 10 and Charlton's oblong quadrilateral books.

This could bring a few more players into the thread.

A Pedigree: Northland Copy!

 

Beautiful pedigree Steve.

 

The book "hints" at things to come, aka as in Star Trek's. "beam me up ..."

Always loved this cover, one of the best Supergirls SA covers IMO:

 

 

Sweet copy! She looks a bit like Marilyn M.

Not top notch shape, but love the sinister looking Octo-creature.

 

A great book with awesome coloring. One of my favorites of the Rip Hunter series.

Excellent copy. This is one of my favorite Detective books of the early 60's.

It doesn't seem nearly goofy enough to be an early 60s Batman/Detective cover does it?

Think this is my only Marvel hero 10 center.

No, but Batman is battling a bad guy from outer space.

Think this is my only Marvel hero 10 center.

 

 

And that is one excellent reason I opened this thread up to the early Marvels with the oblong 10 cents, and the Charltons with the "oblong quadrilateral" cover price.

At least he's not a rainbow creature.

Intentionally, I would guess. Not a bad way to spice up the cover!

I think you're right.

Not that there's anything wrong with that you know. We're very inclusive here on this board. Rainbow creatures, space aliens, mutants, mad geniuses, friendly ghosts, whatever, they're all welcome here!
