[Hawkman]

[Lazyboy]

isn't rarity a subjective thing?

 

Um... no. Estimating rarity may be subjective and very difficult, but the extant quantity of an item is simple fact.

 

[agro23]

Famous Comics #1-#3 with the box. I've only ever seen two and owned them both.

 

Gerber rates the books as 8's and the box as a 9.

So am I the only one who sees the major issue with this???

 

This book is an ALL time favorite on the boards.

 

Holy mess I haven't laughed that hard in awhile...

 

I know what you're getting on our Christmas Exchange this year.

 

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?" Poor Chuck.

 

 

Here's some unique comic related art, anyway:

 

an early painting of my mother's I didn't recognize for what it was until I saw Hudson's sig.

 

Guess the art she copied was a swipe of (or the inspiration for) Action 8 cover.

Mine would have to be Jungle Action 23. You just never see a copy of that book.

 

[Goldeneye]

All Star Comics #8

[The_Investor]

Mind I ask, what grade is the AS #8

[comicjack]

I have one book that is so rare, no copies of it exist!

 

Now that is rare!

I reckon my rarest is Tick # 2 (uncut), signed by Edlund, CGC Sig Series 9.0.

 

Not the highest sig series of that issue out there but dang tough.

 

Second rarest?

 

Probably Spawn # 1 in Japanese, still sealed in the polybag 20 years later.

The original of that is a painting by N.C. Wyeth. I believe it was originally done as an illustration for an edition of The Last of the Mohicans.

 

Fred Guardineer swiped it (without attribution) for the cover of Action 8.

N.C. Wyeth was wildly popular during the first half of the 20th century..... well worth a Google image search by any lover of adventure art. His work on the Scribner's Children's Classics is fantastic..... these aren't actually children's books per se, but illustrated editions of the classics. GOD BLESS...

I guess the rarest I have would be a black printing error of Venom Lethal Protector 1. Didn't even realize what it was until a couple weeks ago. I've probably had it stashed in a longbox for at least 15 years.

Years ago I had a chance to see an exhibition of his work at the Brandywine River Museum. Even though his paintings were reduced to the size of a book page when published, his originals were very large. At the exhibition, the originals -- painted as illustrations for Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, and other classics -- were very impressive, particularly because the exhibition was set up in a large open gallery so you could stand in the middle and take them all in.

 

I think those Scribner's editions with Wyeth's illustrations may still be in print. Or, at least, they were when my kids were younger.
