ciorac Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Some of my favorites........ Bah! They are not all from the same series Interesting range in your selection. Why the Smash 14? Is there something special about this issue I should know? It is the first Ray, with art by Lou Fine. Smash covers, for the most part, are pretty lame. But the Ray cover on #17 is great. I try to get at least one cool cover from every war-time title. So I picked up a #17 as well. But that #14 is like a bad penny. I have sold it three different times, and ended up buying it back every single time! It seems whenever I sell it to someone they go through some sort of financial turmoil within a couple of years. Whenever I buy it back, I seem to pick up a bunch of nice books with it. (Anybody want a Smash #14?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 It is the first Ray, with art by Lou Fine. Excuse my ignorance This is something I should know and now I do and won't forget. At a show last year, Ted V. let me flip through one of those early Smash. Ahh lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh lovely Smash and Crack (and Feature to a lesser extent) are great titles that I feel don't get their due because the covers are, for the most part, terrible.

MrBedrock Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Most Jaw Dropping book in the lot is that Tarzan. Thanks for noticing! It is the Central Valley copy, and at present the book closest to my heart. Saw it at San Diego last year and was able to work out a very unreasonable price on it. But sometimes you just bite your lip and pay! BTW...the other really cool book is the Silver Streak #1. It is the Pay Copy. Got it at the first Philly Wizard show from a guy walking around the room selling Golden Age. He was at my table buying a World's Finest #3 and said "I can't believe I am buying something. I actually came here to sell!" One thing led to another...... Edited May 8, 2007 by MrBedrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBedrock Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 This book is totally awsome! Thanks! What I really like is how CGC put "Tarzan" on the label. (Well no *spoon*) If it weren't for that I probably would have had no idea who the main character was. You really can't put too much info on those labels.
