I've spoken in the past with another boardie about the Church Adventure 37, and we don't know where it is. Regarding even earlier issues, the Church Adventure 20 was stolen from Harley. This is the only Church pre-hero Adventure that I own: What is the ‘letter’ in front of the ‘1’ on the pencil notation. Doesn’t look like a C,D, or M.

Doesn’t look like a C,D, or M. It's a D. On the Church books from that era, the -script sometimes looked like a sideways 8. Here's a similar example.

He told me a story of San Diego and the "nicest copies in existence" of, IIRC, More Fun 5,6, and 7 ?

THAT book seldom comes on the market for sale. I owned a lower grade copy in the 90s & wish I still had it. Well done RHG!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for passing on Gene's regards Jimbo, please give him mine in return. I'm surprised he remembers me because that transaction occurred a very long time ago. The books were actually issues of New Comics rather than More Funs, but he's right about how nice they are. sacentaur, KirbyJack and IngelsFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do brother..... and it was my error as to the titles. Gene is one of those people who remembers EVERYTHING..... He misses SDCC but it just became prohibitive to set up.
