RICK STARR Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks guys. These two TTA's were just too nice to turn down. I looked through all the Moondog PH's that Harley and Dale Roberts had. For their condition and price they were obvious choices to purchase.

mysterio Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Finally in hand, I hope you guys will indulge me a little longer with this book. It's just nice to still be able to find these books every now and then. Not sure if Dale got this out of Gary's collection or not (my suspicion is that it was), but either way I couldn't be happier with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Can anybody refresh me what the deal with this book is? Same month and parallel story to Tta 27 right? I remember somebody saying that there was a contest or something to decide which would become a superhero but that seems like hokum to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they'd only spring my books from Gary out of "graded"... I heard a similar story about TTA #27 and TOS #32, and would like to know if that is true too. Basically the story went that the one that got the best reader response would be picked up, and apparently that ant guy won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the story went that the one that got the best reader response would be picked up, and apparently that ant guy won. I just compared the dates and its NOT the same date as tta 27 (jan 62). As an 8/62 it's also only one month before tta 35 at 9/62. Based on that alone Id call BS? One month would not have been enough to gauge reader interest and go with the stronger story. By the time tos 32 made it on the stands they would have bad to already write and complete the tta 35 story, no? Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a problem, unless they had pre-hero material already done that they ran in the "losing" title TOS, and quickly finished up the Ant man story. Or maybe the competition was the original intent but they didn't end up running it that way for whatever reason. As for tier, they were Economy FTed. Tomorrow is the 20th day, so apparently they're technically still on time, but they've been on graded for 6 full days now. I'm on the edge of my seat here!

Bronty Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Heheh cool. Good luck! Just out of curiosity, what was your pregrade on the 32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Heheh cool. Good luck! Just out of curiosity, what was your pregrade on the 32? I was pretty confident of a 7.5 and was for an 8.0. The spine is really about as nice as you ever see on a pre-hero book, I just wasn't sure on how they were going to handle the dinged spine corner. So I was glad that I was in the ballpark on it. Now just waiting to see how in the ballpark I was on the two books from Gary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
