:pullhair: I should have but I didn't buy the whole run I saw in Chicago. I picked and chose the lower grade ones :insane:Last night there was a nice run (20 or so of the 26 issues run) broken up in 2 lots that ended on eBay. The early run books sold for $35 a piece and the later run books for $30 a piece. They were in nice condition but, at this point, I have too many already for it to have made sense to chase those sets. Anyway, I like to pay $20 to $25 for each issue.I bought my first one in May IIRC and have 15 of the 26 books in the run. I am in no hurry to complete it ... I'll be patient :) In the meantime I picked up my first issue of Jann lol

I saw the Lorna run on e-bay too!!! It got too expensive for me, but still wasn't a bad deal regardless!!! \(shrug\)

 

Oh I agree 100%. The lots ended up being fair deals for someone since the books were in nice condition. I just like to build my collection in smaller $$$ chunks. (thumbs uI also am considering picking up the Jungle Tales and Jungle Action runs. I really like the cover to Jungle Tales # 2.

Thanks, guys. I completely agree with you, Scrooge -- the stories from this period often lack the impact of the cover art. But I'm a sucker for Everett

 

No one will ever fault you for that :applause: The only time I shy away from Everett's work is when he was assigned to do a Western story :screwy: There's no magic there

Many thanks, adamstrange! Considering how many truly extraordinary specimens you've seen up close, this means a lot. And I appreciate everyone's patience with my recent sojourn into the Silver Age.

 

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming: Martians, Venusians, and miscellaneous critters from outer space ...... :cloud9:
