JohnT Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Adam...you amaze me! I know, he just whips out a pristine book from 1956 to illustrate his point. Man, what a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The large and rather intrusive stamps ran from March 1955 through to November 1956. They then became a little smaller. At the time many readers would have hated their presence; now they seem natural... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ginormous CCA stamps appear on some DC comics published during Apr - Jun of 1956, though it was not applied uniformly across the titles.

AtlasFan Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Here is a new book I picked up. There is not enough love out there for those early issues with that ol' Time Master, Rip Hunter! That cover kind of reminded me of THIS cover: CIRCE ROCKS!!!

JohnT Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Congrats on the Showcase 21. Not an easy one. I agree on there not being enough love for Rip. That was just a great idea for a series. The possibilities were limitless. The writers didn't always make the most of those possibilities, but still there were some great issues, especially the Kubert ones.

JohnT Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Great Detective! Just got this one from Ebay. Took a chance and I'm pretty happy with it. It was a miracle it got here in one piece though: the seller put it inside a plastic sleeve from a photo album and stuck it in an envelope! It's got art by Kirby, Meskin, and Cardy.

john72tex Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Sweet!!! And it's a got a classic Robin corner shock pose cover! You know, I was thinking DC maybe had a little cutout Robin they pasted on covers when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
