I’m fighting the urge to actually start collecting these or paperbacks again. I am looking for just a few of those Avons though… OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, my bad. You're right, that one is pulp sized. I was thinking of this Australian title with the same cover and contents! This one is bona fide digest - it's 13 cm x 19cm (or 5 1/8" x 7 1/2" for those of you stuck in the 19th century ) comicjack, OtherEric and Randall Dowling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a great cover. I scanned these many years ago for my Flickr site, and my intent was to share cool covers rather than my particular copy - ergo, the close cropping and likely some touch-ups. I know you’re targeting the Avon MMM, which is a tall order. I acquired a fair portion over the years, but never enough to be emboldened to complete the run. So many of them have a wonderful early, primitive feel to them. My mystery digest stash got a great boost about fifteen years ago when I found a large stack of them at a postcard show (of all places) for a couple dollars each. What I collect at any moment has always been determined by what I run into. I know it sounds axiomatic, but if I run into a bunch of newspaper comics, I’ll key in on those for a while. Find another handful of soda bottles at a flea market? I’ll be targeting them until some other shiny object this way comes….

Darwination Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) I've picked out a couple issues on this thread for my hunting list, some good ones! I noticed this funky double use: This one's at MCS right now graded FN, the colors looked faded to me - rather have a lower grade with better colors (not one I'm hunting btw) This one I suppose I am hunting, as we need a complete and better scan for the museums.
