ChillMan Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I've always said I like the cameo and ad first-appearances. Myself, and some sites like even ComicConnect at times, refers to it as the 'first printed image'. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sfcityduck Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Less than $200 raw for my top of census copy! First Atom Bomb cover! Schomburg cover! What's not to like?: It's just so wrong! Those Swedes were way ahead of their time when it came to innuendo (less than $100 if you can find one): Speaking of Robin, this cover symbolizes to me the great shocking fact of the GA - Robin appeared in more stories and on more covers in the GA than Batman! This one cost less than $400 from Heritage and presents well enough: Speaking of symbolism, this one defines Donald Duck's whole personality for me. Less than a $100 raw (and it is undergraded - best 7.0 white I've ever seen): And here's a cheat. For less than $50 each, you can get cool comic related PBs: Edited February 9, 2022 by sfcityduck damonwad, GreatCaesarsGhost, comicjack and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Flex Mentallo Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 Great idea, Andy - really enjoying these posts! As a kid, I collected these British B&W World War 2 digests. Still have Air Ace #1-#50 and War Picture Library #1 - #200, though they arent the copies I had way back when. I've never bothered to scan them so these are some of my faves as found on the internet.

Flex Mentallo Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 ...went looking for a better scan of Ghost Plane and couldnt find one, but did come across some original art!
