shiverbones Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 your books make me dizzy! Thanks for posting. I should get off my duff and add a few.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I will add a few! Silver, you said you would like me to post a high resolution scan. What I will do later this week is post a book scanned at my usual 96dpi side by side with the same book scanned at 200dpi. I have always posted low resolution scans to keep file sizes low so as not to slow down the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Adventure Comics #265 is apparantly the first appearance of a Superman robot. I should post this in the key book thread, as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Nice gray tones on this cover, carrying on my Krypto theme from the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Superboy generously sharing out his powers... Three covers a day keep the crickets away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Really like this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 This is one of those strange, surreal covers that represents to me the classic DC appeal, that leaves so many other collectors cold. The DC magic either touches you or it doesn't. I have three copies of this book, which is just plain greedy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I have an Adventure 276 as well, its such a great cover. And when they break out the lime green & magenta color scheme... The Adventure 269 should be in the key thread as well - 1st Aqualad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 thanks steelcity! The pleasure is all mine One of my quiet collecting obsessions is Atom/ early DC SA green covers, something about that color green is sooooo nice, and that recently expanded to the magenta covers as well. Almost EVERY GA DC book is either red, yellow, or blue (occasional black, white or other variation of course) but then in 1951/52 or so they started changing the cover colors up with great results. I love em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 uh oh...starting to hear those crickets again... The red-skirted Supergirl! Didn't a colorist make this mistake on another cover or story or two? Unless it's one of those clues that the reader is supposed to pick up to realize that it's a fake Supergirl.
