Tales to Astonish Appreciation Thread 1 1

[carguy8022]

I absolutely love the ToS from the early 60s. I only have one but lust after the run

Hi all, I unfortunately haven't been able to reach back to Ant Man appearances (not out of lack of want though!) so hopefully one of my nicer looking Hulk and Subby books will do for now.

Finally!

GREAT picture bro!

Finally!

Hoarder Seriously though, lots of awesomeness there

[KirbyJack]

I'd been promising that shot for a while.

Lots of them are beaters, but I love 'em.

While setting these up, I noticed that the logo changes weren't consistent.

The original logo, with smooth edges and an exclamation point, went from 1-11. The next logo 12-42, is interrupted twice. Number 18 and 33 are old logo, but without the "!".

Anyone know why they used the original logo on those two?

That's one awesome run of Tales to Astonish

[Boboset]

Finally!

 

 

WOW! That is so cool. Congrats on finishing that epic run. Have you read them all? Any particular favorites from the series?

[southerncross]

Here is a couple of Tales to Astonish from run of pedigrees I'm trying to put together. So far have 31 issues

Here's my TTA collection:

 

 

 

Another great collection! A silver ink #36 would fit into that collection very well.

 

I'm loving the amount of appreciation Ant-Man is getting these days.

[southerncross]

But I do love the monster books

Great copies! Do your peds go as far back to Ant-Man?

 

I love the variety of the last few collections and each one is uniquely awesome.

[southerncross]

Unfortunately no, the cost of those high grade issues way out of my comfort price range, my books start at 62 and highest 99, I have the collection on CGC registry under TTA 59-101 American pedigrees in Australia.

[southerncross]

Another monster book I own. Shame I don't have anymore of them.

[KirbyJack]

I have read them all, and my favs are the pre-heroes and the Kirby Ant-Man stories. Sentimentally, I love #90.

Thanks and agreed about the #36!

 

Ant-Man is a fun read for sure. My favorites were #45 & 49. Those stories really stuck with me.

ant man issues are fun, but for me I'm a big subby fan and just love his run. Issue 90 has a cool cover with a subdued sub-mariner laying on the ground. I have the Boston copy of that in 9.2 old label and the colours are deep purple. My favourite cover though is 98 with straight blue cover including the left hand corner box with issue number in it. Sub-mariner is laying on sea floor in that issue too. huh a paten is forming.
