What GA run have you completed recently?

[iggy]

WOW what an incredibly beautiful run!

[skybolt]

That is an awesome awesome run.........and in such high grade. Congratulations.

And finally, #55:

 

 

Those are incredible books! If you dont mind me asking what are the grades on them because they all look superb!

[jbcomicbox]

I have a number of runs---but one that I am especially proud of is my run on Silver Streak (which I have posted from time to time)...all high grade (no Church) and my run on Nedor Wonder Comics is neat with the painted Schomburg covers....In late GA I put together a Yellow Jacket run....also have a number of runs for the Ace periodical books with their wonderful covers (still need some late Super-Mysterys.....)....oh, and for those who care, I have a run of Marvel Mystery/Marvel Comics 1-100. Happy to post 'requests'....jon

#54 -- the crowning jewel of the run:

 

 

Looks like a MH or 2 or 3 in that run. AWESOME books!

Jon,

 

Wow, its quite impressive to hear that you are complete on a run of Marvel Comics Marvel Mystery, Marvel Tales #1 to 100. I've been working on the run for almost ten years and I have been able to get about half the issues. I think #1-5 will out of my price range in the near term. How long did it take you to complete the run? Scans of MM 15, 40, 44 and MT 93, 94, 95 would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, Vern

Please post the Yellow Jacket run. Those are some of the all-time best covers.

Thanks

Did you have to go after each one by itself, or were you able to get a couple at the same time. Basically, I am wondering how scattered the run had become over time before you put it back together? If it had become broken, aside from the insanely high grades on those MH, I find it neat and interesting that you were able to reunite them. Congrats

 

Also, a general question. Your run is from # 48 to 57 which is the traditional GGA Blue Beetle definition. Why is it that both 46 and 47 that sport GGA artwork are left out. Is it simply because it's a different (at least it seems) artist on those earlier covers? Can someone confirm my hunch? RHG, are you planning on (or do you have) getting those issues as well?

That's a beautiful set.

 

Oh well. I was hoping to own at least one of the MH copies from that run one day. At least I know now to change that expectation and I'm glad I didn't bid on the 52 in Heritage - I'm sure I would have driven up the price only to lose it.

Because those girls aren't as "big" as the girls on the rest of the run, they aren't as good.

I bought the Church run (including nos. 56 and 57, which I didn't post) over the course of several years from different sources.

 

#46 is not considered part of the run because it is not drawn by Kamen. #47 is by Kamen, but doesn't have the classic "good girl" style of the other covers.

Here's another short title I completed just a couple of months back. There was an issue # 1 under E.C. and the title continues under Atlas/Marvel with # 2-4. All have a Blonde Phantom apperance.

Your Blue Beetle GGA run is beautiful.

 

 

 

[podboy66]

Jon,Thanks for posting the early Marvel Tales issues for me. Here is my only complete run of Timely's. Sun Girl......

 

 

 

[Point Five]

Great Sun Girl run!

Always loved the subway cover on #2. (Actually, being a NYer I'm a fan of all the subway cover comics...Vault of Horror #30, Marvel Mystery #9, etc. That could be a thread in itself....)
