PRETTY DC's (Batman 80 Page Annuals) for 9/8/04

[burntboy]

here are 5 of my nicest Batman Annuals.

 

they span 1961 to 1964 and, as usual, get better as they get newer.

 

i loved these as a kid since the batman's went a bit further back into the GA than the Supes did. (i didn't even buy Supes ann #1 because i had most of the stories already!!)

 

all were purchased at Sid's Luncheonette in Orange NJ by me 40+ years ago.

 

Enjoy.............

SWEET books!

[Red Hook]

Really nice!

[Jeffreykli]

Nice books as usual.

[PUNYHUMAN]

Those Batman annuals are so much fun!!!

[burntboy]

the backs have either "Pin-Ups", classic covers (batman #1 and Tec 27 on one issue), covers from which the books stories came, or advertising for current other DC's.

 

at the time, i believe they were fairly unique..........

Sweet books, BB!

here's what surprises me;

 

since 4:00pm yesterday afternoon, you're the only person to view and comment on the books. and after almost a full day, there have been less than 100 views!!

 

i would have thought that 1961-64 Batman Annuals would have triggered much more interest. ( i can understand the WW's, MIS, SSWS, etc, but this is BATMAN for crissake!!!!)

 

oh well......................

It could be worse. My Dan DeCarlo thread got a total of 3 replies

I thought they were great, but couldn't think of anything to add to the thread.

i understand - i'm not so much complaining as expressing surprise at the seeming lack of interest.

 

for example, when i posted my best Flashes, others (notably tth2) posted some of theirs filling in the gaps and got some discussion/comments flowing........

I suppose you could say that the Batman S.A. annuals are often overlooked in the marketplace, and generally don't go for even close to guide in VFN and below (the main factor would be that they are reprint books). This is a shame, as they're so characteristic of the Silver Age - those covers are excellent, and make you want to peruse the stories. Great gloss and colors on your copies, btw. Mostly in the 9.0 range.

 

All right, I could think of something after all.

And to think, you could have used that time to put together a deal on the TOS 52 and 53 that we discussed.

 

P.S. Nice books as always, Harry.
