Inaflash Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Got this the other day and posted it in General, but not here. I've been looking for an attractive, reasonably priced copy for quite some time, and this one fits the bill. Nice eye appeal on that book. I traded a NM- white paged copy of TTA 35 for a copy of that book back in 1995 to Showcase New England. The Action came back from CGC as a 7.0 and I sold it for a big loss a few years ago. Probably the worst comic deal I ever made. Congrats on getting a nice copy! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comick1 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Nice one. Always thought this was amongst the most extraordinarily preposterous covers DC ever made, but I already commented about it in the washtone thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1646215/site_id/1#import Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burntboy Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 November 1961, # 290 - Last 10 Cent issue and 9th Legion appearance.......... for some reason, i managed to wind up with 15 consecutive issues from # 279 to # 293, even though i'm positive that an Adventure was is the first group of DC's that i bought back in 1957-58.............(i think most of my early adventure/action.detectives/superboy/lois lane/jimmy olsen/etc., got traded away over the years.

tth2 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Are those all Sid's books, Harry? I guess you didn't buy a #247 off the newsstand, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntboy Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Tim; these are all from Sid's Luncheonette. the earliest of my DC's came from a small drugstore that i stopped in one day on my way home after school from playing Baseball, around 1958. For some reason i remember there was an Adventure comic in the group as i distinctly remember being introduced to Aquaman and Green Arrow. Pretty sure there was a Detective as well, with Roy Raymond, TV Detective. all of those 1958 - 1961 Adventures, etc., got traded away for Sports magazines and later Famous Monsters of Filmland. i definitely had adventure #247 and Action # 242, etc.................... for no reason that i can remember , i decided to keep the books with Heroes in their own title. Hence, i have most all of the Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman books from numbers 100 - 150..............unfortunately almost all in Midgrade..........

shiverbones Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 one of my all time favorite DC covers. The coloring on this cover shows why DC dominated at this point in time. Atlas was entering it's blue & orange phase, with every title looking near identical, and DC was pumping out the most beautifully colored books of any era! And a gorilla too!

shiverbones Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 rough shape, but in my experience, one of the toughest HOMS to find. A GREAT cover too! One of 4 covers I can think of that DC did with a Jack'o Lantern on it (GA & SA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) a nostalgic classic for me. The first convention I went to, when I was in 7th grade, I bought a copy of this from Sparkle City. I am very glad to have an attractive copy of it again.
