adamstrange Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I presume those are the Australian version? Regardless, there's Nothing like seeing a run (partial or not) of a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I presume those are the Australian version? Yes, they are. And the cover to #1 is from the US #19. And it's my favorite Blackhawk cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 OK, inspired by this thread, I finally got out my wife's digital camera and learned how to post pics from it. Maybe next time I'll remember to turn off the date stamp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Alot of flash on those Flashes. What about your Comic Cavalcades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Levine Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 My Blackhawk collection. Growing very slowly. I have 53 out of 127 now. Made contact with a person that once worked at the printers where some of these were printed. He kept most of the printing company's file copies when they were being thrown out. I am slowly but surely purchasing them from him. Top row: 1x3, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 18 Second row: 19x2 , 27, 29, 34, 36, 38, 39 Third row: 40, 41, 43, 44, 48, 52, 56 Front Row: 57, 58, 59, 66, 69, 72, 74 I couldn't work out what was going on here, as issues 1 through 8 were Uncle Sam, but I just realised these are Australian copies.

Zonker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 tried to compensate for the flash here since it killed the Blackhawk #19 ya like so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Levine Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 and the B-Team group shot That Adventure 65 looks really strange. I've seen loads of copies and the blue is always more turquoise than that. Either it's an oddment with different colour, or the camera has changed the tone of the blue.

Zonker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) and the B-Team group shot That Adventure 65 looks really strange. I've seen loads of copies and the blue is always more turquoise than that. Either it's an oddment with different colour, or the camera has changed the tone of the blue. I wondered who would be the first to catch that! My copy was purchased "stripped" with the top 1/3 of the front cover missing. I grabbed the remainder off a Heritage scan of #65 and printed it out on paper of approximate thickness to these Golden Age covers. So it is a married copy / mock-up, but a cheap Starman cover. I haven't even attached the mockup part of the cover to the original, the two pieces are just lined up together and held in place by the Mylar bag. And I think the original part of my copy was pretty badly sun faded, as you can see the greens on the plane don't really match up to the greens from the Heritage scan. I'd do the same if I could find a similar Dr. Fate or Spectre More Fun, or a Flessel-version Sandman Adventure Comics.

Zonker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I love this stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I was also going to comment on that Adventure 65. Not about the odd colouring but about the sweetness of the cover itself. A great book, married cover or not. I do tend to like those S&K Guardian covers as well. Glad you broke out the camera Zonker Aussie Russ, those look like great books and there was something fun and exciting (I don't need much) about seeing new Blackhawk covers Here's a lighter version so we can see the other books besides BH # 19 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Great Robinson/Ray covers on these early cardboard-covered WFs. I'm done for now...someone else's turn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post more pics it will make it easier for me to pick out what I want to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thanks! It's all low grade, with maybe a few Fines or Fine+. I went nuts when I first discovered eBay in '99. I never really saw much Golden Age material at the regional cons I had access to growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
