Apologies, but I don't have a scan of the back, so please grade based on just the front.  Pages are OW-W.

Thanks,

Thanks very much for your input/grade.

I used to own the single highest graded CGC 9.8 copy of this book. Cool book

Wow, that's awesome.  I'd love to see that book become available because I'd love to have a shot at it.  I wonder where it is now.  Hopefully someone that really appreciates the genre owns it.  Sorry you don't still have it.  Not that I want to date myself, but I used to read Rawhide Kid comics when I was a kid (the original Marvel version) so I'd like to collect a couple for display. 

In addition to this book I'm also looking for a Rawhide Kid #17 in an upper level grade to high grade, but those are hard to find.

No chance as I sold it to a friend of mine when I left SA behind.

Here it is:

I sold my buddy several of my books to help him build that #1 set.

wwcomics seems to list quite a few of your genre from time to time

Wow, that's an awesome looking book - just gorgeous.  Thanks for sending me the link.  Also, that's great that you sold it to a friend - hopefully he lets you see it from time to time. 

Sorry to ask a newbie question, but what does "SA" stand for?  Also, how long have you been in Paris?  I was stationed in Belgium a number of years ago and we went to Paris quite a bit during that time - beautiful city.

Thanks also for the wwcomics.com link.

SA = Silver Age comics (books from 50s to late 60s)

GA = Golden Age comics (books from late 30s to early 50s)

BA = Bronze Age comics (books from 70s ...)

etc ...

I've been in Paris almost 5 yrs now.

Aahh, yes.  I should have caught on to that.  However, since you're located in Paris and the wording was "... when I left SA behind ..." I was thinking maybe you were referring to San Antonio (SA).    I asked about it just in case it was San Antonio - my wife's from San Antonio.  

Wow, five years in Paris.... that's a lot of really great meals.  My wife and I are "foodies" and we loved the food in Paris (what foodie doesn't), but I never did get over how small the portions were in the restaurants.  Of course, that's just the American culture coming out.  I'm not a large person...  I just love to eat.

Thanks again for the information on the comics.

I just came back from my first (but certainly not last) USA Road Trip. We did FL, TN, LA and TX.

TX we spent most of the time in Austin although we visited Houston, Gruene and San Antonio.

Love Texas ! Hot hot hot ! and LOVE Texan meat ! Best BBQs ever.

Yes, I have to agree about the meat in Texas - absolutely fantastic.  Does "LA" in your post mean Los Angeles or Louisiana?  I ask because I was born in Louisiana and most of my relatives are in Louisiana.  If it's Louisiana - where did you guys go?  I'm assuming New Orleans?

[Disfan]

BTW - I got so caught up in talking about Paris and Texas that I forgot to make a request.  Can you contact your friend to see if he's ready to sell that book to a Rawhide Kid fan?
