The Commissioner Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I've been pretty quiet on this thread for the past few months. Mainly because I haven't had anything to post since all of the shows I wanted to attend last year were cancelled. Planning on attending 3 in the next few months and hoping to get my hands on some new issues! Hope you all are doing well, stay safe out there! bc, Jasonmorris1000000, Mucheee1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Shameless plug alert I have listed some JIM undercopies for sale here. I am happy to negotiate if anyone is interested, though I did the best with the prices I could given the limited info on most of these. bc and The Commissioner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sweet Lou 14 Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 I know this book might not really count as "PHM" but I wasn't sure where to put it. Not trying to complete every single Atlas run but when I see a #1 in my favorite grade, I grab it. (This is the only 7.0 in the census.)

I found a copy of WOM #6 about 5 years ago, which initiated a 5 year long search to find a copy of issue #1. Now if we can stretch the pre-hero mold to include sci-fi the book is in.

I was wondering about that. Robots, especially back in the 50s, were typically viewed as "monsters," no? Usually from outer-space. I noticed that early in this thread, like 2005, someone remarked that PHM started out with some sci-fi themes/covers early on. Could that be?

Could that be? @bc sent me a spreadsheet he created that lists all of the pre-hero books by title and issue. World of Mystery was included in the implosion era. However Strange Tales and World of Fantasy were included and those titles have robots and sci-fi stories. If we can include the implosion phase of Atlas then it is possible. The only "complication" is that issue #1 of WOM is June of 1956, which predates the start of the Silver Age by a few months. Pantodude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. As for the quoted part, is there a reason why PHM must be tied to SA per se, such that content of PHM can’t span late GA into SA? It seems strange to delimit PHM, which by definition is Marvel, with a 1956 date set by a DC book.
