Stevenrams Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 As per Danny's request, here's my Lois Lane 15. I also have a slabbed Superman 132, CGC 9.0, but I'll do my best with a digital photo since I don't have a large bed scanner: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Sorry, not a high-grade copy, but the only copy I have and from my experience a tough book to find, very tough! Apologizing for the grade? That's a nice copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice copy! Thanks. I guess it's not a bad copy at all, especially for a tough period to find any copies at all. It's even listed as scarce in the OSPG. Thanks for the kind comments.

Stevenrams Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 A pink cover Detective. How rare is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Not so rare, I guess. I just located another pink-colored Detective Comics. I always liked this issue because it retells Batman's Origin, this time with new facts. A "kissing cousin" of Detective Comics 190, preveiously posted by yours truly which is an earlier retelling of Batman's origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I posted this in another thread, but it belongs here, too since the two threads may be mutually exclusive for some. I always liked this period; it's the second post-code and you don't see books from this period that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves me correct, you were there when I bought the slabbed Superman 132--at SDCC sometime before I got married in 2003. I bought it from John Verzyl of Comic Heaven. Remember, I also bought the slabbed Action 294 in 9.2. For some reason you were more excited about the Action. It was probably back in '01.

I always liked this period; it's the second post-code and you don't see books from this period that often. Very bizarre to see the super-sized Robin and the midget Batman. You are correct about how infrequently you see these issues in nice shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed the Action at the time and found it somehwat difficult to find. I had a Superman 132 but a low grade copy. I wasn't doing upgrades at the time but now I really want to upgrade a few Supeman's and 132 is at the top of the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great books all the way around, but I really like this one with Robin reading about Batman's early adventures in his diary. And of course it's pink!

You are correct about how infrequently you see these issues in nice shape. Good point; I think that's the attraction of the cover. Win Mortimer did a great job in depicting what a grown-up Robin and a young Batman would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Someone on these boards mentioned about the "beauty of being unorganized" and discovering books you forgot you even had. Here's one such book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJR Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hey great books Steve, thanks for sharing! Did you see the World's Finest #72 CGC 7.5 Cr/OW Mohawk Valley copy that is listed on Comiclink for $1150? There is only a single 8.0 on the census so you have an idea how impossible it is to find this book in any kind of shape! There is also a 1.8 copy with white pages and lots of tape repairs for $90! Incredible to find white pages on such a low grade copy! Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
