I have a small handful of GK's, but wouldn't mind more!!

 

 

Banner;

 

Would this copy of issue #1 be for sale. I have been trying to compile a complete run of this title since I remember it from my younger reading days. I've managed to get all of the copies so far except for issues #1 and #4.

 

Actually, I was very fortunate since I was able to acquire a run of issues #5 - #10 in the pre-eBay days from a buyer advertising in the CBG for guide price. Couldn't believe it when I saw them since the books were perfectly flat with full cover gloss and beautiful white pages. Definitely unread and unopened file copies here with potential CGC grading of 9.6 or even higher.

Here's a cool paint job that I picked up at a local show today:

Some early issue of MARS Patrol was my first non-Marvel/DC superhero comic and I always thought it was just so strange...so I set out to pick up a set of the painted cover issues! This book isn't real high grade, but they don't seem to come up for sale too often either.

Well, the Toons didn't go over very well, so here are a couple more Photo covers:

 

I like the toon covers best of all

That is a great Doc Savage cover! Looks similar to the artwork that was on the Doc Savage paperbacks in the 1970s. I never even realized there was a GK Doc Savage comic. Sigh, yet another title I need to start collecting , particularly if the rest of the covers look this cool!

I love those early Solar covers - who was the artist on that one? Whoever it was must have been channeling the soul of Miro!

Bob Fujitani. The covers of Solar 1 and 2 are unlike almost any comic I can think of from the pre-modern era.

 

jmg, nice book!

Always thought those painted covers were pretty kool.

Speaking of great Gold Key covers, has anyone noticed the incredible run of CGC 9.8 Star Treks that Eides has up on eBay right now? Amazing!
