In the Shadow of the Atomic Age 6 6

[AJD]

Love this one. I saw the original Picasso ('Girl Before a Mirror') in the MOMA a few weeks ago, which made this book irresistable. Must have been quite striking on the newstand!

When ya comin' back Red Ryder?

 

This character sure became an American institution in the 40's and 50's - but seems mostly forgotten now. Except, of course, as that rifle Ralphie wants so badly in "A Christmas Story."

This was a great series of comics...picked up quite a few on the newsstand.

Very sharp book Marty.

Finally had the chance to open a package from Andy (GAColl.) and I noticed the mention of:

 

Not Intended for Children

 

on this cover to Crime Does not Pay. The title had been carrying the A.C.M.P. star since issue 79, so that was nothing new and the mention disappeared with the next issue. I can imagine that the inclusion was well intended at the editorial meeting ... until they realized that it would probably kill sales

 

 

<------- 20K. I don't know if I should celebrate or go read a book instead of posting

This was one of the last comic books I ever bought off the newsstand.

It was pretty windy out today (here in Michigan), so I thought I'd post some kite plans from "Pinocchio Learns about Kites"

Here they are larger size:

Flew a kite for the first time with the oldest just last Saturday

 

Meanwhile, SuperSnipe was actively day-dreaming ... "Turn in your suit"

Almost done with this short run.

 

My first Gaines copy. (My scanner doesn't like slabs)

Once you start buying Gaines books its hard to buy any other kind of EC. Congrats.

..... Crippen....was a CGC 7.5 probably due to the light stain top left...... there's not really anything wrong with it other than that...... and much nicer than average PQ for a D copy.... GOD BLESS...

Here's another you should like. Heck, even Ciorac should like this Yellow cover -

From Yellow to Pink with this Wanted # 49. Aside from the Big John cover and story, there are two Anderson stories inside. Such a treat and the kind of books I'm always happy to get

Love Buscema's "Wanted" work...
