turtleboy23 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Why are these pre hero monster books so hard to find in HG. Is it because they used to be in the .25 boxes in the 70's and 80's. Do most of the long time collectors already have completed runs?? and won't sell them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korvac Saga Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 TTA 31 is THE greatest Mummy cover of all time...hmmm sounds like a good theme for a thread in General... I agree and all three of those books are Beautiful Rich. TTA 31 and TOS 20 are my two favorite pre-Hero Marvels and the 31 is an awesome Mummy cover and the best IMO. (thumbs u Thanks Fay + SS!!

AtlasFan Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Most impressive. Those are some swell books you have there. Is your goal to obtain a full HG CGC pre-hero collection? You seem well on your way! Congrats, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannis Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 A couple of sweet AAF's WOW, what grades! Beats the hell out of my old vg copies by a mile....... wow, where do they rank in the census ? I am sure there are a few # 1 spots there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannis Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 In the meantime, here is one of my favorite covers that I just got around to scanning! This would have made a wonderful movie poster, dontcha think? Hey, isn't this the issue with the first app. of Uncle Ben and Aunt May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just picking up the best books I can now + we'll see where it goes. I already have the full hero run on TTA, so that one is feasible. Having fun is the goal!!

This would have made a wonderful movie poster, dontcha think? Hey, isn't this the issue with the first app. of Uncle Ben and Aunt May? Yes Well..Yes and No... Its an appearance of An "Aunt May & Uncle Ben" drawn by Mr. Ditko, but this is not the couple who lived in Forrest Hill, Queens. This May and Ben lived in a remote sea-side cottage and had a very "fishy" wheelchair bound niece. Edited March 3, 2009 by AtlasFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korvac Saga Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 This next book is something of a prehero grail for me. I first came across it in the early 70's in reprint form in "Where Monsters Dwell". As a 5 year old Godzilla fanatic I was hooked. Now this 40 year old can enjoy the smokin' original!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
