Great book! I hope the day comes when Fawcetts get the love they once enjoyed and surely deserve.

Wow Comics #38.  I didn't know this book existed until discovering it this year but I fell in love with it the moment I saw it!

Are those not the most wonderfully rendered clouds ever to grace a comic cover?

I had a chance to buy one of these just a few years back and passed on it. I've regretted it since, and seeing your copy has done nothing to assuage those regrets!

All the early Marvel Mystery issues are beyond my current budget, but I have long coveted this terrific S&K cover. I go back and forth on a hypothetical note about whether I would choose to plop down my money on a MM with the Torch on the cover or do I opt for Subby? Well, among that select handful of early Angel covers, this is heads and tails above the rest, and just as worthy a candidate for coveting and with a run as outstanding as Marvel Mystery, that's really sayin' something!

Thanks and I agree 100%!!!

I'm hoping that with the Shazam movie around the corner, interest in anything and everything golden age Captain Marvel may pick up. There's soo much potential if that movie is a hit to spawn off Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel movies as well. If they are teased properly I guess. Although being they couldn't call him Captain Marvel due to Marvel Comic's version and therefore had to use his modern name of Shazam, I wonder if Cap Jr. and Mary could even be involved. Maybe they would have to have different names lol.

Not sure I rank with some of the heavy hitters here myself, but here are my top three pick ups for the year. Hopefully pics are ok here.

Though a bit lower grade than I was hoping for, the Human Torch is my first Timely.

The Superman 12 is just a great Golden Age cover to me and I was lucky to stumble across it for a really good price.

The Planet Comics is one of my favorite covers and a nice addition to the run of these that I'm very slowly working on. (

 

I'm also going to cheat here a little and put my runner ups in this post. In no particular order, these books were ones that I was really happy with amongst several great pick ups throughout the year. Once again, not heavy hitters but I think it's a nice variety.  I mean, who doesn't dig a Jungle Comics bondage cover? A Jumbo Comics that I bought raw and had graded and was pleasantly surprised when it graded higher than I expected. And a nice headlights crime cover.

 

 

 

Despite some personal stuff I had going on, 2017 was a good year for comics. Looking forward to what 2018 brings.

I always looked forward to these types of threads this time of year to see what you guys added to the collection. So to be official, you had to have made the purchase in 2017. If it’s not in hand yet, a scan is suffice, and if you haven’t even gotten it yet, there’s still time to post. Here’s to a good year of pick ups and it’s tough to nail it down to my top 3 acquisitions, but I’ll go with these. aka My Keepers

Wonderful!  Love the Reds on the Rangers 26.

It was mostly a Silver year for me, but I love the 3 Golds I was able to acquire.

 

How cool is it to have a Cap 1 signed by Kirby?

It would only be better if it had a Simon sig as well.
