Love your choices

I didn't really choose; just tried to explain that I can't really do it.

Whoa those Menace books are great. Love the buffoonery going down on the covers

OHHH WOW Astonishing 30 (River City) nearly flawless - there can be no better copy than that stunning example.

 

That that flimsy paper lasted this long in that condition in unfathomable.

Good deals all around. Beautiful books, adamstrange, and Johnny, as Batman Fan noted, your Marvel Tales 95 from Edgar's books is flat-out amazing. Gorgeous.

My favorite GA books and why they`re my favorites:

 

#1 Because I love Barks and Uncle Scrooge and it`s such a pretty copy (the first slabbed high grade GA book I ever bought)

 

 

 

#2 Because I love Raboy, I love this cover, and I coveted this particular copy ever since I saw it in the covers gallery in an Overstreet Guide

 

 

 

#3 Did I mention I love Raboy? And this copy is just so darn purty. It looks like Edgar bought it off the newsstand yesterday.

 

 

 

#4 I like Frazetta too.

 

 

 

#5 I like the Lone Ranger and I like grey tone covers. There are a lot of great Lone Ranger grey tone covers, but this is the best one in my opinion.

 

 

 

#6 I also like Tonto and I also like painted covers. This cover really grabs you, plus this copy is my only River City.

#4 I like Frazetta too.

 

 

 

 

Wow. That is gorgeous!

All great books, Tim. But that FF is killer.

I saw the original art at a museum exhibition a few years back and I'm hard-pressed to say whether I like this copy or the art better. Killer colors & gloss!

I saw this book at person at the Metropolis booth at SDCC years back. I was really impressed with it, amazing ink reflectivity on it! (thumbs u

I saw the movie "Gravity" recently in Imax 3-D. It was pretty amazing.

This book is definitely better.

Awesome books Tim.

I grew up watching Batman cartoons on Saturday morning. I still remember sitting in front of the TV watching Batman and eating Captain Crunch cereal. Every now and then I would be lucky enough to catch a rerun of the Adam West show when visiting Grandma.

 

 

 

As a kid, I found a coverless copy of Star Spangled Comics in an old house in Indiana. For the life of me, I have no idea what happened to it, but I loved the stories and the Simon and Kirby artwork.

 

 

 

The last Batman I needed to complete the run was #10. Most copies I would see had ugly dust shadows on the right side but I finally found a sweet copy.

 

 

 

The first GA Batman I ever bought was #31 from Samuel Frazier. I still have it, but was quite happy to buy this one off a true class act boar die.

 

 

 

Probably my favorite Detective cover. Love Scarecrow and spent a lot of time trying to find a nice copy.
