rjpb Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Nice pick ups - the Mystic #21 cover is a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thanks guys! I really like Mystic #21 too, and I think a lot to do with that is it's mystique since it was not in Gerber. There are a few other Knock out everett's like Mystery Tales #11 that weren't shown, and I find myself really drawn to them. Could be it's just a great cover too, even though the welcome mat is on the inside of the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOT Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Some fun stuff came in over the last few days You lucky guy! IMHO the first five issues of Menace are the cream of Atlas' precode output. Had you ever read these before? If not, I envy you! Congrats on some great pickups!

Or for that matter, any other "unseen" Everett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Super super grail for me. Probably no one else, but for me this has been a thorn for over 20 years. I first saw this as a small overstreet photo in one of the guides 1984-1987, it reappeared a few times after that. When I was a small lad, My grandfather got me into stamp collecting & it was one of the few things we did together. Sadly now I don't collect stamps, but that time has always been imprinted one me, so when I saw this photo, I decided I really wanted one. I already collected HOM, so it was a no brainer. Whenever I decided to look there was never one available, sometimes for months on end of constant scouring before I gave up. Recently Richie Muchin has had a copy, but not at my level of price or comfortability. This one came up & I was lucky enough to win it. I know Ian had trouble with some other issues in this 10 run span to finish his DC run, but I still maintain this is the hardest single issue of HOM to find a copy of.

shiverbones Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks! It really transcends collecting a comic for me. I know that sounds corny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generic user Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 great book! and now it's going to be even harder 'cause I bet 27 of us have added it to their want lists.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Calhoun Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 well done, Shiv- a very nice and (heretofore!) obscure 'collecting' cover. Plus it's always fun to hear a tale of a found grail that has big personal importance- because we know the feeling and how rare and wonderful it is!
