Hey Catman, I think you got the point of the title of this thread. It isn't who has the most expensive books, it's what 5 are the most important to you. All fine choices. I have always loved that Suspense and have yet to own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget to show some love for Kid Colt 180! Kirby monster western cover equivalent of an X-Men 67-93 (cover first appeared on Kid Colt 107). It may not be GA, but it's awesome, and tough as bronze books go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 As you can see, books that highlight the main character in a larger scale than anything else on the cover is what catches my eye. So in this instance Batman looming over the castle, Sandman with his gas gun, Captain America punching Hitler, Samson pounding down on the robot, and Human Torch melting the safe door.

Readcomix Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 If memory serves, we have seen two people select Fantastic #3 among their picks in this thread; no appearances for Suspense #3...only thought of this because of the auction thread about those two a while back....but...anything surprise anyone due to its absence from all sets of 5 keepers presented thus far? And Dark Knight....if your picks were baseball players, you would have a heckuva time setting a batting order! Wotta show; thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a Suspense 3 to keep one so might not be a selection for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have a Suspense #3, but would definitely be in consideration if I had a copy. I'm glad my collection is small or else I would have a difficult time putting together my top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
