When I first decided on the go-go check collection...

[Lee K]

I chose it for a number of reasons

 

1. It represents a very specific period in DC's history

2. It includes books of every price range.

3. It includes several first appearances or first Silver Age appearances.

4. The exterior checked decoration was combined with an entire marketing scheme, if you see a reader copy at con, open it and look for the Go, Go, Go! advertisements.

5. No Neal Adams, so I don't have to fight with Adams completionists in order to acquire minor books from the run - but also, Adams' first work signals the end of the goofiness of the go-go check era.

 

Thanks to my friends, I have now completed 2/3rds of the big key issues.

 

Once I add the grail issue of Detective, this display will be complete.

 

Happy Hunting!

The first Silver Age appearance of Catwoman and the first appearance of Poison Ivy! Very nice indeed!

 

You have a really cool focus, thanks for showing us!

Nice collection focus and a couple of smoking nice books.

 

You really should create a avatar of go-go checks to reflect your focus.

Nice books you have there. And what a unique and cool focus for your collection. Good luck in it's completion. A snap shot of the whole collection would be an awesome sight.

I never knew about the connection with the checkerboard... that is a very cool focus!

 

Certainly unique!
