Doc Joe Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks for the appreciation. I limit my books to those published between the golden and modern age, unless its a really cool book outside of those periods. no focus problem here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodan57 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 This was an eBay purchase that went very well. I find comics in this genre difficult to locate, especially one so early in the restructuring of Atlas into Marvel. Though it was still the company with "no name", Kirby and Ditko had already joined the fold. Love Romances 82 July 1959 (April 1959 newsstand). Vince Colletta cover. This title was discontinued (#106) along with Gunsmoke Western (#77) in May 1963 to make way for the July introductions of The Avengers and The X-Men.

rodan57 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 From Imperial Coin and Stamp in Hamilton, Ontario. Strange Worlds #2, February 1959 (November 3, 1958, newsstand, from published sources, but datestamp reads December 5?). Steve Ditko cover. The first issue of this title from December 1958 (September newsstand) marked the return of Kirby to Marvel and the seed of the genesis that would become Marvel Comics. ____________________________________________ Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #10, September 1964 (July 1964 newsstand). Kirby and Ayers cover. I think this book has one of the most powerful cover images of Nick Fury ever drawn.

rodan57 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 From the TO Con on Sunday. Amazing Spider-Man #26, July 1965 (April 1965, newsstand). Steve Ditko cover. As usual in these early Spider-Man comics, Peter Parker gets as much "air time" as Spider-man ... and poor Peter can't get a break. Betty Brant is all over Peter about Liz Allen and, as Betty had met Mary Jane Watson in issue #25, she's not to happy about him having a "secret" girlfriend who is "very hard to miss seeing!" To top things off, Liz Allen no longer wants to have anything to do with Peter when she sees Peter having a brawl with Flash and his cronys. Can things be worse? His Aunt May confiscated his Spider-man costume the previous issue and Peter is reduced to buying an ill-fitting Spidey suit from a costume store. He's forced to use his webbing to hold the ankles, wrists and mask attached. (It's his only luck this issue that he did stick down his mask as he is later clobbered by the Green Goblin's jet glider and the Goblin can't remove the mask of the unconscious Spider-Man.) ________________________________________________________ Gunsmoke Western #69, March 1962 (January 1962, newsstand). Kirby and Ayers cover. There's a fine 6 page Kirby/Ayers story in here called "The Betrayer'. It's a formulaic 'family vs. duty' conflict but very nicely done in the early 60s Kirby style.
