Marvel Mystery #17. Ad for Captain America #1, first Timely team-up, and the first WWII era GA book I ever bought. It's missing its CF, so it was $20.

Mad #1. In my opinion, one of the top 10 most important comics ever published, and the best book to represent my man Harvey.

N.Y. World's Fair '40. You gots to has you some Bats and Supes.

Captain America #6. I'm making the hard call and letting go of all of my S&K, keeping just one example. 1st S&K double page CF spread.

Space Western #44. EDITOR: "Westerns sell, and kids like space stuff." PUBLISHER: "Needs a gimmick. Work in Hitler and you got a winner."

I love MAD #1. MAD was what got me into actually collecting comics instead of just buying them off the newstand. It was my grail in the days pre-internet when it was real hard to find specific issues. I remember when I finally got one. I still treasure it today. I actually lugged it to a bunch of cons to get Kurtzman, Elder, Severin and Davis to sign the splash pages of their stories. Sadly, to late for Wood. I lucked out a couple of years ago and a guy sold me a copy autographed to a fan in the early 1970's by Bill Gaines. Very important book in my eyes for a lot of reasons.

Nope.  Looking at everyone's top 5, I do not have the "depth" that most folks have on here :facepalm:  My stuff is mainly on hero books.  

So. What are your 5???
