Hi guys, I have a stack (maybe 40-50) comics that are missing their covers and in some cases missing a large number of pages.  Any suggestions for how I can help find out what these comics are?  

Assuming none have indicia pages, the best way would be to post pictures. Then we can all have fun guessing :grin:

Alright, that might take awhile!  I think I have one that's Batman 145...there's a few panels of the Joker with 'son'.

All DC with some other stuff like Charlton...so I've got rex the wonder dog 32 that looks complete just missing the cover.  As I go through them I'm going to check-off the ones I'm pretty sure are complete.

List:

Action Comics 264 - missing cover, most of the story is there

Wonder Woman 137 - missing cover and pages 13-14.

Wonder Woman 130 - missing cover I believe all pages are there

Batman 145 - missing cover, most of the book is there (full story of 'Joker's Son is there)

Blackhawk 167 - missing cover, think all pages are there

Blackhawk 168 - missing cover, I believe all pages are there

Blackhawk 133 - missing cover, I believe all pages are there - the entire story of Lady Blackhawk is complete

Showcase 17 - looks like it's missing a few pages in the middle, the Adam Strange story is complete and the story at the beginning is also complete (no cover).

Showcase 37 - missing cover, I believe all pages are there - key appearance first Metal Men

80 Page Giant #14 - no cover, missing a few pages near the beginning.

Mystery in Space 49 - no cover

Rex the Wonder Dog 32 - missing cover, I believe all pages are there

Superboy 85 - missing cover and some pages

Superboy 82 - front and back cover only

Superman Annual 5 - cover only

Superman Annual 3 - missing front cover, looks like whole story is complete

Superman's girlfriend Lois Lane 10 - missing cover, missing first few pages and some last pages as well

Forbidden World's 85 - missing cover and some pages

Adventure Comics 296 - missing cover, I believe all pages are intact

Adventure Comics 249 - missing cover and some pages

Will Rogers - no clue on number

Tell it to the Marines 10 - no cover, missing pages?

G.I in battle 3? - not 100% sure of this one, there's three stories, one is titled "the traitor that wasn't"

Strange adventures 70 - missing cover I think most of the pages are there

Submarine attack 21 (chartlon) - missing cover, missing some pages

My greatest adventure 19 - missing cover, missing pages 1-2 - I think the rest are there

Strange adventures 61 - many pages and cover missing - very rough shape

Also, I'm not sure whether I should post these as a cheap lot on ebay, try and sell them here or dump them in the recycling bin...

Post some pics, then if any of us can identify them you can add the info to the listing. Hurry up though, I'm going to bed in a minute :)
