I love that MISTER MYSTERY cover! And it looks higher than a 5.5 to me.

[supapimp]

talk about needing UV blocker, hey matt, i thought you needed cash?

[Bonds25]

The UV blocker comment went over my head.

 

Cash or comics? Cash or comics? I need both!!!

[supapimp]

UV blocker re: the tanning on your first book, Mister Mystery #18 CGC 5.5

[ArAich]

supa...what is your avatar suppose to be...

[Bonds25]

Got it! That's the only thing I hate about theh book - looks like it will fall apart any second now, but it's luckily just tan and not brittle.

view attachment for a bigger pic, from the thor 337 thread:

 

currently it's death (from n. gaiman's sandman), half of her pretty face, and the other half is her skull while holding her ankh.

Just picked up this book.

...Has been on my want list for more years than I can remember. Missed 2 copies on Ebay the last 6 months, so this one was not getting away. Cant wait to get it.

Matt, those are some nice looking books. I didn't realize that you were so into the non-superhero suspense/horror genre. I am starting to get into that stuff a bit myself.

 

Good stuff . . .

tom,

 

there's a CGC NM 9.4 copy of that currently up on eBay, but the seller has zero feedback.

[greggy]

Don't want to rub it in but I got these books recently!

 

 

 

The Phantom Stranger 26 is a CGC 9.4 with OWW pages.

 

The Super DC Giant S-18 is a CGC 9.0 with OWW pages - Western Penn pedigree.

[Bonds25]

Nice Phantom Stranger [!@#%^&^]!

[PovertyRow]

Not at all sure why but that Phantom Stranger puts me in mind of Wrightson's Swamp Thing 7 (the Batman issue).

[OldGuy]

Yea, I see that also. If no one posts a scan of the ST #7 I'll post one when I get home.

[Illiterati-migration]

Nice stinkin' pictures (that don't work)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OldGuy]

They work just fine. What error are you getting when you try to view them?

[Illiterati-migration]

Ah, they're working now. Curse that Greggy and his sweet, sweet DCs!!!!!!!! Maybe I can marry him a la Anna Nicole Smith and weasel my way into his will... then I can slowly poison him and.............. am I typing this out loud?

 

Nothing to see here, people! Move along...

"Not at all sure why but that Phantom Stranger puts me in mind of Wrightson's Swamp Thing 7"

 

Here it is. I forgot what a great cover this is. I just pulled out Swamp Thing 1-10 and they are all great covers.

 

[PovertyRow]

Thanks for the Swamp Thing 7 scan. There is a great panel inside where you see a closeup of the bat suit on a chair and it looks like a gnarled, clawed batman sitting there. Have tpo say I loved the way Wrightson portrayed Batman.
