Scrooge Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Great copy of that book. Always reminded me of Margaret Brundage work. Who's the artist on this HoM # 1 anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linmoth Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I doubt if it was coincidence considering where DC's heirarchy hailed from. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Adam: Do you mean like this 50's 10 cent DC? Tom That's a nice way to start things off, but to paraphrase Oliver Twist, "Please sir, can you scan some more?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I doubt if it was coincidence considering where DC's heirarchy hailed from. Tom My thought as well. Weisenger and Schwartz both came out of the pulp world before getting into comics and brought other pulp guys into work for them at DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linmoth Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Adam: Julie and his crew had their roots in pulps and early SF. The early fanzine you posted was awesome. There was an almost complete collection of Fanzines in the W PA collection from early 1961 foreword. That was some great reading. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 You know, for silver age collectors, it just doesn't get any better than ten cent DC's. Here's a couple more Detectives. These are from the Cleveland collection. Wow! Thanks to everyone for the explosion of new posts! How deep is the run of Detectives from the Cleveland collection, and how far back do they go? Are there other DC titles in there? This is a pedigree which I clearly know too little about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom I've read the reprint books from Bill Schelly and have a smidgeon of fanzines myself. It definitely gives you a different sense of the collecting community and how odd they all felt for liking funnybooks and how hard it was to find kindred spirits. These days you just hop on the net to find the comic communities and go to eBay to pick up the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linmoth Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I would recommend Bill's book to anyone who wants to enlighten themselves about the early days of fandom. Some of the pictures are amazing. I like the one in the "White House " with the OA to the cover of Flash 120 hanging in the backround. That image has stuck with me for a long time. I think Metro owns that OA now. Heres a 10 center thats not part of the superhero gendre but is a pretty rare book. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Pretty borderline to squeeze this into the SA, but it is a 10 center. Great washtone reminiscent of some WWII books (eg Terrific 4, and a lot of Schomburg stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 That cover is awesome! I love the death grimace on the Chinese/Korean fighter pilot's face, great line work. Is the interior art of equal quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
