This thread has already kicked off with some amazing books! My runners up would be Star Spangled 7. I had the raw copy for about 18 years but bought the graded copy from our very own GAtor this year for a very reasonable price. Definitely top ten book in my collection, maybe top five :banana:

Bravo! If that Kirby gem is your RUNNER UP, I clearly need to go look at your numero uno!

Given that my war bonds collection is my favourite sub topic, I'll stick with that and nominate this hard to find book (courtesy of Esquire comics):

(the other candidate was nice midgrade Planet 71)

My runner up

 

I have just acquired this rarity. :cloud9:

 

Picture Story Annual, Educational Projects Inc. Undated but most likely 1944-5. This may be one of the rarest of all the Canadian Whites, the comics published in Canada during the second world war. This one-shot annual, which collects three issues (without covers) of the long-running Canadian Heroes comic by Educational Projects.

 

This is also apparently a variant. Of the images I have seen of two of the three other copies, there is a cover price of 25 cents in the circle below "192 pages." On this copy the circle is blank. This is the only example of that variation, to my current knowledge. and the back cover is a subscription coupon for Canadian Heroes. The 25 cent version has a generic Canadian Heroes back cover. This copy is UNIQUE

This is an incredible cover! I'm a sucker for a cool underwater scene-very cool.

This is more of a tie for the 1 spot as i am extremely fond of this book as well...thanks for starting this thread so i could post it again!! Let's start a second and third runner up thread in a few days so we can post more!!

 

Love seeing the great stuff people snagged this year. Some of the books truly AMAZE me!! I'm still waiting patiently hoping that someone here picked up the Amazing Man 22 or 26 that went of CLink recently so i can know who to bother in the future :D
