NA 26 is also a delight, but Sweet Christmas, that 24!

Easily my favorite Flessel.

It's difficult to see in the scan, but the intricate detail of the artwork on the 24 is extraordinary. The dramatic coloring is also striking. For these reasons, it may be my favorite NA cover as well.

Here is my 12 as well...

 

Gerber 8, hanging cover that is the final issue - what is not to love about this series!

Sweet beer coaster!

Yep, Suspense 8 is a great one. Suspense 3 has long been the super gem of the run but all the issues are good, and tough to find in any condition approaching high grade.

 

 

Well, if you can't afford Suspense 3 which is not surprising given it's stratospheric price, you could always try for a Suspense 1 which might be seen as a poor man's version and a possible prototype for Suspense 3.

I never paid attention to the artist on this, evidently 36-38 were all done by John Flanagan, who never did anything else in comics.

Great thread.

Just realized the font on the last few early Adventure is the same as on Action Comics 1 Cool.......

[Robot Man]

My favorite of the pre-superhero covers. I'm a surfing guy and this is the earliest surfing cover I know of.
