Well guys, As most you know  I have been trying to finish my short run of the first 25 issues of fight comics. As of last week I was down to 3 issues (5,19,20) and I felt that I needed to focus all my detective skills in finding one of the hardest issue in this small run that I’m trying to complete. So I set out to figure who owned a copy of this great book!  after looking at the fiction house thread and seeing some board members owing this particular issue I started sending out PM’s to persuade lol these gentlemen to sell their copy’s after many attempts the answer was always no. Who could blame them lol This books is so tough!!! So I took a proactive approach to see if I could find this issue. I wrote down all boardies who collect golden age and started sending out more PM’s hoping that someone would say YES. Well after honestly getting lucky and 15 days of begging lol  A very generous boardie decided to sell me his copy I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be one of the few people in the world to own this book. I can’t stop smiling every time I talk about this book and that I have one :) So to all the guys I have been bugging asking about this particular issues thank you for putting up with all my questions regarding scarcity and leads and the story’s and how the book smells lol  without further rambling on my part here she is my prized possession I’m more happy about this book then the day I got my AF-15!!! lol

So cool, Ivan! :applause: Great cover and you rarely see it with those nice deep blues (for some reason, one of those weird 'unstable' colors that often fades back to a muddy grey). Congrats, and props to the mystery boardie who hooked you up!

Kelholt,

It was worth the long hours of searching and trying to figure out how many copies are out there in the world.( Talking a very knowledgeable board member we think it's less then 80 copies) so I feel honored to own this book!
