adamstrange Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 What a cool book! I've never seen it before. Actions from right around that time period seem to be uncommon. I've been very pleased whenever I find a nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been very pleased whenever I find a nice one. Those are three beautiful copies. I have all three, too, but not in such high grades. But I still treasure them because of their scarcity.

Great books! I checked the census; there are six Action 212s and two Action 211s. You're right. These are very scarce books even in VG--and especially in 5.0 or higher. Thanks for scanning yours. When I have some time, I'll go digging for mine and scan them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I never get to post in this thread so I figure I would scan up this mess I received with a lot of Atlas War books, which I really wanted. Not bad for free I guess Element cover! Nice for the price. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLRoberts5 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Here is my copy of It's Game Time #4. I don't know the grade it would get, but it is one of the better copies you'll see of this very tough book to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Here is a new addition to my vault! On the Prototype front... Now, there is something very interesting in the Infantino story: "Secret of the Scientific Doodads". There is a certian bald, green-skinned, purple jump-suited alien in this story who looks exactly like that Superman villian, BRANIAC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll find a nice copy someday soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLRoberts5 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Here is one of the more difficult Detectives to find in decent grade, Detective 230, the first appearance of the Mad Hatter.

zzutak Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The last half-dozen pages or so have been absolutely amazing. Great copies, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLRoberts5 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Here is Tomahawk #35 from September of 1955 at the height of the Davy Crockett Mania in the USA. I once read an article in the Los Angeles Times in which Fess Parker, who portrayed the character in the Disney Flicks, claimed that Davy Crockett and his coonskin cap were bigger that Beatlemania. Anyway, this is the "origin" story of the character. I've been looking for this book for awhile in a nice mid grade affordable condition and finally found a copy back in July at the SDCC.

Steve, you're killing me! Looks like we have another collector who manages to find high grade versions of incredible uncommon 50's DCs. Needless to say I've never even seen this book, let alone in that condition. That's a cool story about Davey Crockett...I didn't know he was ever "hot." This is a nice mini key book, then! I checked the census and there is one graded copy, 7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
