RICK STARR Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Dinosaurs were a popular theme and what young kid could not resist spending their hard earned dimes for such attention grabbing covers.

OtherEric Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 And, as promised, a few issues I got before/ during the emergency move, and haven't been able to scan before this. 106 is the second Space Museum: Tri-Color Brian and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Space Museum in all, I think that's my next target since I've finished Atomic Knights. Then get the Star Hawkins issues: Jasonmorris1000000 and Tri-Color Brian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 And 161 is the last Space Museum story in Strange Adventures; after this it's mostly used in relation to Booster Gold's origin or the Legion of Super-Heroes. But the concept has held on surprisingly solidly for such an offbeat Silver Age concept; it keeps popping up here and there. The 204 is the last issue before Deadman starts; I don't want to call it the last classic issue, particularly since I think Deadman is arguably the title's finest hour. But it's still definitely a turning point for the series. Jasonmorris1000000 and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Holy OtherEric. Lately I've been renting a room to a friend of mine who owns the local comic shop and today he brought home a ton of DC comics from the 50's and 60's from one of his warehouses. He's been collecting titles like Strange Adventures for years and just recently he's decided he doesn't care about them any more and wants to sell them at his store now. I asked him if I could scan them for posterity before he sells them and he said "sure". He's also letting me read them if I want as I bag and board them. I also get first dibs if I want to buy any (I wish I could buy all of them.) These are the ones I read today.

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 This is a trick right? I'm going to say Captain Comet should go with the obvious here and choose the lady. Less hairballs that way. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Skipping ahead to the back of the box (there's still a lot in the middle)... He appears to have the entire Deadman saga. I'm going to suggest to him that he bundle it and sell them at the store for $24.99. Ha. Ha. I'm sure he'd fall for that. I already own the issues, but there's one that I'm going to definitely upgrade. OtherEric and DrDeadman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) I'm definitely calling dibs on #215. My copy sucks. I actually do not own a copy of #217, but his appears to be high grade and I'm sure it will be expensive. I forgot is it just reprints? I'm scared to open it because it looks great.
