Jewel of your collection

[bullseye]

that IS an insane cover, with white pages to boot

[uclapeterg]

I always loved the FF when I was a kid. I've got 88-296 complete....and hope to someday have the funds to complete the run.

 

Not only was FF 211 one of my childhood faves , but the QP on that book is......perfect.

 

I prefer 242-245 myself

 

Actually 258-260 was even better.

 

Nah 243 led to 262, which is one of the better stories Byrne wrote. Who cares about Dr. Doom?

my asm #129...bought many years ago at a boston show....came back cgc 9.6

you really need to buy a scanner.

Representative book only as mine is for [#@$%!!!] on a slab. Mine is a 9.8/White pages and perfect QP in every way. BTW, I'd pay absolutely silly money for the cover artwork.

I have a couple of those also and had to bag and board them backwards with the cover facing the board so that stupid "jewel" didn't poke through the bag!

[Kermit the frog]

simple and yet difficult to answer...the bronze age jewel of my coll.!!!

 

quite possibly the AMS "triology" 121, 122 and 129. not because they are high grade copies, but because those are some of my all time favs. issues...still remember reading them as a kid, translated in brazilian (in Portugal we only got the brazilian editions...).

 

the avengers annual n°7 is also a great one for me, fantastic story and gorgeous art all the way!!!

 

then it comes the uncanny x-men CC/Cockrum/Byrne run...

 

oh man, too many great stuff to reduce into only one winner

This one's easy for me. Hands down, this is my most prized bronze book.

 

[Kermit the frog]

just curious, why?!

[shrunkenhead]

It's a very tough book in high grade; way undervalued in the OS, IMO. Supposedly there was a warehouse find awhile back, but I believe this find was limited to the second printing. Searching down on a NM copy of the first print took quite some time (finally nabbed this one on comiclink).

 

Plus, it's pretty durned bizarre, wouldn't you agree? Definitely an eye-catching cover. I tend to gravitate towards the oddball books as opposed to the more traditional stuff (though I am an admitted batman and JSA junkie).

[Point Five]

Hey there shrunkenhead, I've been wondering about this book for quite a while now. Bizarre doesn't begin to describe it. Can you tell me what on earth the story is about?

Here is a synopsis from Flying Donut (who owns a 9.2 copy).

Excellent link, Norrin. And here's a link to the actual Hansi comic, (link is also posted in the FD thread).

The comic is an adaptation of a long-forgotten book that would be filed under the "christian/inspirational" section of your neighborhood bookstore. Hansi is definitely one of comicdom's genuine moments of unparalleled weirdness. Ya'll can keep yer mitts off my copy!

CGC 9.6 HOS # 103 (White Pages, Oakland Pedigree) One of my fav. Bronze comics due to the killer Wrightson cover.

Here's one of my favorite Hulk covers, and you hardly ever see it for sale.
