seank Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 As for ACG, they don't really belong here (My pictures for those have the gold & silver books mixed together). Maybe in the Atomic Age thread? Yup, in the Shadow of the Atomic Age, would be a good place for your ACG collection. Isn't your avatar from an ACG cover? I agree with you. A complete publisher goal is tough. I have considered it before b/c it's fun but it won't be DC nor Dell, nor Atlas. If I ever decide to go for it, I'll go for the complete ME. I tried doing that with Fawcett once. Got about 2/3rds complete and lost steam. Ronaldo once asked me if I ever thought about collecting all the Fiction House books. I told him I wouldn't because I couldn't stand to chase after titles like Wambi, Jungle Boy. Reading those stories in Jungle Comics makes my teeth hurt.

It depends on which artist you catch on the feature. But, yes, there is one artist who must have started as an etch artist who worked on it and, boy, does it make one's teeth hurt as you put it.

I write, so that's something I notice. I give GA books a certain amount of latitude, but I find the Wambi stories I've read to be quite dreadful. Late-run Sheena stories in Jumbo are similarly dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about Quality and ACG is that the stories stayed above average other than the romance titles. I may try to finish them again, but lately I'm all over the place in my collecting.

generic user Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I haven't seen many strip reprint books posted here (other than Frazetta cover Famous Funnies), but I like 'em: Big Shot isn't strictly a reprint title, but that's where I file them for some reason: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
