crimson dynamo Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Incredible haul! Thanks My eye starts to twitch when I think of the CLink invoice I have to pay now considering some of the other non pre-hero books that are on it as well. But i know i will forget all about bills and such when these truly beautiful pieces of art show up at my door... it's scary how much I am falling in love with the whole pre-hero era I wonder how many others feel that same pre-hero allure ... or maybe I just love big monsters on covers Hayden you have great taste. I love the 29 and you even got a hold of the TTA 23. Moomba is barely slabbed in the census. Congratulations on a sweet pull.

HaydenTO Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 That was my WM JIM #20.... it's a killer copy - nice haul of books indeed HTO... Thanks and thanks again CD...

adamstrange Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Incredible haul! Ditto! All of them are very attractive looking copies that have the appear to have the appeal of an even higher grade. I thought this copy went very reasonable -- it's one of my favorite covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 This is a SA thread. It would be great if you could post it here linky . I get that that is an older book, but if I had won that I would have posted it here too. Being from one of the big Atlas/Marvel pre-hero titles, and one of the longest running, it can be hard to know where the cutoff is (I sure don't). I like to see those types of books here, and looking back through this thread's history you see plenty of them. They fall through the crack between GA and SA for me. (I guess they are technically Atom Age?) Atlas books from this era have always felt like early SA to me, even though I know that technically they aren't. Now if it had been Mystic or Astonishing or one of those titles that never led to a hero book that is an easy call. But to me, wrong or right, JIM is a Marvel pre-hero book because it eventually gave rise to a hero. This may be a creative interpretation of the thread title and rules, but that is just how I have always seen it. I realize that many will probably disagree with me on this, and I am happy to be educated on the nuances of the ages and designations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any problem posting ANY Strange Tales (prior to #101), Journey Into Mystery (prior to #83), Tales of Suspense (prior to #39), Tales To Astonish (prior to #35), or Amazing Advs./Amazing Adult Fantasy here in this thread. Since they are ALL pre-hero Marvel, in my opinion they meet the guidelines of the thread. As a side-note...I consider pre-code Marvels GA...and after the code as SA. But this is not actually correct....I suppose anything after the date Sept. 1956 would be SA...and anything before as GA. Personally...I like the pre-code/code idea better....love bucking the system...haa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 You raked in a great batch of books,Hayden. I thought the bidding and final prices were brutal for these books. I only bid on needed upgrades of my raw copies. All my bids on the JIM, I needed, were blown away,especially the JIM 71. I realized if I seriously wanted to win anything, I could not be conservative. I just had to have the ST 80. One of my favorite PH covers. Also, got the ST 81,84 TOS 25 and TTA 9,14,18. As I said, brutal prices. But, can't wait to receive them!!!

I realize that many will probably disagree with me on this, and I am happy to be educated on the nuances of the ages and designations. I define a "pre-hero" as any book from the late 50s-early 60s that contains fantasy stories by Kirby, Ditko, and/or Heck. Titles that dont lead directly to a hero -Strange Worlds & World of Fantasy - are considered "pre-hero" based on their content. Titles like Jounrey Into Unknown Worlds or Strange Tales of the Unusual are not pre-hero, because they dont have any Kirby/Ditko/Heck stories. Now, I would also lump the "early-hero" books into the pre-hero classification as they do contain fantasy stories by K-D-H. For example, even though the Torch takes over Strange Tales, those books still contain some great (and overlooked) fantasy backup stories that would fit right into the early pre-hero era.

RICK STARR Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks guys. Roswell, I sure wish you would open your ST registry for viewing. I bet you have some beauties put away there. The issues from 70-92 seem very hard to get in grade. There was a great high grade raw prehero and precode collection on Comicconnect back in Nov. or Dec. 2009. This was the best bunch since then by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
