TEN

[Lee K]

Really? Only ten?

 

Since Surfer's original query has recently picked up new life, once again because Tnerb had to say something, I thought it was time for me to reconsider my original posting of ten books that I would try to save in the instance of a disaster or, gods forbid, I am forced to purge every book that I own for some unforseen reason.

 

I remembered having answered this question and since my memory isn't what it once was, I concluded that I must have answered it oh, about a year ago...

 

Boy, did I underestimate. In October of 2010 I answered Surfer's query with the following list:

 

1. Batman #59, 8.0 OW

2. Brave & the Bold #28, 3.0 CR/OW

3. Brave & the Bold #70, 9.4 OW - Pacific Coast

4. More Fun Comics #78, 5.5 OW

5. Our Army at War #168, 9.2 OW

6. Our Army at War #172, 9.4 OW/W

7. Sea Devils 3, 7.0 W

8. Strange Adventures 195, 9.0 OW - White Mountain

9. Wonder Woman 164, 9.4 CR/OW

10. Worlds Finest 165, 9.6 OW/W

 

As I look back on where I was 30 months ago, I wonder how much my list may or may not have changed. Are books that were new to me then less shiny now? Have new acquisitions superceded my love for some of these fine books?

 

I think over the next couple of weeks I will work my way through the above books and then start to consider the possibility of a new list for 2013.

 

Anyway, this will give Tnerb time to get me my two most recent SS books so I have them in hand.

 

In the mean time -

Happy Hunting!

It is good to see a list of Golden Age comics, I look forward to seeing your updated list for 2013. A few years ago I did a top five journal, when I made my top ten last week I found that only two books from the top five made it to the new list.

 

I'm diggin' that cover of Cavalier Comics #2, simple, effective and classic.
