Popular Post MAR1979 Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 Thought about putting this in Silver and in Copper but have settled in the middle. Show off your Photo Cover Comics! Partial Photo Covers too! Magazines OK if they are listed in Overstreet. No Rifleman! I'm sure some may understand why ==================================================== Had this one in the 80's and loved the cover. Weird how the top portion background blue and the rest green. It would look so much niceer if all the same green. All copies I've seen are like this. My feeling is it was not the the intention.

MAR1979 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Here's a Modern. While in my LCS back in 2001 I joked with my buddy (the shop owner) that I would pick up a copy of the book and have it graded. He "dared" me. Well I found a copy that met my standards and never bother to send it in until 21 years later. While his shop closed for business a few years back we still get together for grub every now and then. I showed him the graded copy recently and he had no recollection of the "dare" it's 1/1 on the census like due to no one else is at my level of stupidity to submit one in the first place. Regardless I like the cover! I'd love it if not for what Goldwater and Archie put poor Dan and Josie DeCarlo through over the Film. Books CGC Label CGC Total Avg.

MAR1979 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) This one may have been on-sale in 1971 but it "cries" late 1960's as it reprinted the 2nd issue from 1969. My dad, rest his soul, was Squad fan. I became a DVD-based fan of the show.

Popular Post Sillydiabetic Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 I think this is my oldest photo cover, it’s like the art department was out sick that day and the interns took a stab at throwing a random cover together.

The only terrifying rabbit I knew was the one in a story that I wrote in school. The teacher wanted us to write an alternative ending to Of Mice and Men. I had a 100 foot rabbit arrive and kill everyone, shouting "I will have my revenge!" That was quite scary. I don't know why I'm telling you that, though, so here's a horse, instead.

Popular Post MAR1979 Posted February 28, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) The mid/late 80's Honeymooners interest resurgence was my first exposure to the Classic TV show as a kid. Around that time these books appeared at my LCS. The Lodestone is my childhood copy.

I can't explain why, I just hate it so, so much. I find it a lot when I'm digging in boxes, and I've never bought one. Apparently they did a back-up pencil version "in case this concept didn't work." Well, I think it didn't work; they should have used the back-up: comic_memories, MAR1979 and Get Marwood & I 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like the issue for all it's variants though, and had a few accordingly. Amazing what a Bose wrap can do, isn't it Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
