What is the rarest comic you have acquired this year?

[IngelsFan]

Only 5 in the census and I've been looking for a nice one for over a decade:

This sweet, sweet rarity...

 

But seriously, cool looking book Bo.

 

I may still have that drawing somewhere. I wonder what ever happened to that guy.

[comicjack]

One I've not seen before.

 

 

Man! I don't know what to make of that cover.

 

Justice is blind and dead like Yogi

Justice is blind and dead like Yogi

 

That would explain it!

Here is mine. Since I started collecting rare comics in 1991, this is the only one of any of the issues I have ever seen.

 

 

 

 

Great stuff!

My Three comics book is NOT CANADIAN and it is from 1944 and contains Spirit stories with Lou Fine artwork.

 

I don't know about Lou Fine (Gerber says it is) but my Three Comics has stories from late 1943 or early 1944. Mr. Mystic stories were by Guardineer and not Powell. No mention of where or when it was published. They are in Overstreet.

I guess this one for me.

Love the Adventure Comics, Steve!

Which were the featured series at this early point in the title run?

 

Love the Canadian hero as well… Gorgeous!

Which were the featured series at this early point in the title run?

 

The typical mixture of short adventure and humor, generally 1 or 2 pages. Thus that 12 page Borgia story in issue #13 really surprised me!

 

To me, these early DC comic books are fascinatingly representative of the creation of the hobby... the baby steps of a phenomenon that was about to take off at full speed.

Toughie (especially in grade), congrat's Jeff.
