tth2 Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 In contrast, this shadowy scene is very 1950s... This may be the only cool Batman cover I`ve ever seen from the 1950s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 it's 1949 In that case, it confirms that I`ve never seen a cool Batman cover from the 1950s. Why are we seeing books from the 1940s posted in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Why are we seeing books from the 1940s posted in this thread? You post a few dozen sweet 10 centers and you can post whatever you want in this thread also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 This issue is Superboy's first showing in Adventure Comics. I have to say, the blue tone of this cover is just so pleasing. Gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Steelcity, I have to say you have an amazing...stunning collection! Don't ever feel for a moment that no one is paying attention or that your "bragging" by posting one geougous comic after another. We are all comi\c lovers here and I appreciate you sharing this awesome collection with us. Any Showcase, Brave and the Bold or Superman's? When I bought my scanner, March 2006, in an initial burst of enthusiasm I scanned around 250 CGC books. Scanning fool that I was, I did them all at 96dpi, a default setting on the scanner. As a result, I am not happy with the quality of them. I also selected around 1000 raw books to scan. However, I only did about 50 before I'd had enough. Since then, I have hardly scanned at all, mostly re-posting the same books. Even my newer buys are unscanned, though I do use seller's scans to post them here. My Dad has all my collection. He scanned most of Adventure #200-#300, Action #350-#400 and World's finest #150-#200 and posted quite a few himself. So, if I can ever face it I have all my raw Marvels, Dells and Harveys to scan, plus lots more DC, including nearly all my books from the titles you mention. There are plenty of beautiful books awaiting, but they are all raw, not CGC. I set my scanner to 96 dpi (except in special situations) and save it as a tif file. For the boards I convert it to a jpg. Basically 96 dpi is the max resolution on the web so if you scan at a higher resolution then you are just making the dimensions of you scan longer and the size of the resulting file larger. If you would like to print something then it makes sense to scan at a high rate but otherwise you should be fine. And the scans look great from where I sit!

burntboy Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Next up issue #107 from August of 1956. an added bonus is the Contest blurb for those who collect those covers; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntboy Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 and, lastly for now, issue #108 from Sept of 1956; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 #106 is one of my favorite supes covers. And are there others who collect the contest Blurb issues? I love them, but couldn't figure it meant much to many people. While talking about collecting those without knowing why to 143ksk, he suggested that the advertising worked so well, it's STILL pulling me in to buy them Loooong after the contest is over!

selegue Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 and, lastly for now, issue #108 from Sept of 1956; What a fetishistic cover! The "hot women in uniform" angle combined with "discover my secret identity", which was usually treated as sexual innuendo in the 50s and 60s. This is nominally edited by Whit Ellsworth, but the de facto Superman editor was Mort Weisinger in 1956, right? Unca Mort loved this stuff.

Silver Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 The late 10 cent issues are usually not seen as very difficult to obtain, but that can be quite untrue, escpecially in higher grades. I found these next two Actions tto be quite elusive in the grades I was looking for, yet abundant otherwise. Here are the last two 10 cent Action Comics covers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I am reposting this Lois Lane cover...just because I like it so much! Bright vibrant colors, white pages and just a cool cover overall. C'mon, Lana is kinda hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
