Mac Man Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just came in yesterday from The Resurrection! Now, I can finally replace the copy I sold to Karma23 this past winter! I also added a copy of Avengers #1 to my collection right before I left for vacation... While I might not be a huge Avengers fan, these were two keys that I really wanted to get into the collection!

gaz973 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Such a classic issue! I love the combo of the purple, red and yellow - plus the blue in Cap's suit. I never understood the logic behind it, though. What's with the posters of the various Avengers and villains stuck on the brick wall? It makes no sense, and it always struck me as a fairly convenient (e.g. lazy) way of composing a shot with numerous characters. Kirby had done plenty of "group" covers prior to this, so I think he was either rushed for time, or he was trying a less literal, more graphic/pop art design style. It was one way of fitting all those characters that he wanted to put on the cover in for the landmark issue, with out making the cover seem too busy and overcrowded.

KirbyJack Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Cool comix, Mac! My copies might be a pinch prettier, but I got 'em when they were cheap. If I were buying them today, you and I would be after exactly the same kinds of books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Hey Hey Forrest! Glad you were finally able to replace that #4, AND add a #1 We'll make you a full on Avengers fan before ya know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Man Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks Larry! Only Avengers left on my list is a copy of 57... and that won't be for some time as there is a veritable boatload of books ahead of it on the list. Still, very happy to get copies of these before the movies came out--if they turn out half as good as Iron Man then prices will keep creeping up.

drewincanada Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I checked the registry. If I picked this up, it would add a whole 2 points to my registry total. Such a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 An entertaining, but expensive, proposition. Think of all the slabbing fees for those worthless books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewincanada Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Just got this today.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u That's a darned sharp 8.5! The only thing I can see that prevents it from a 9.0 or 9.2 is the bottom right corner. Congratulations! Can I have it? It would make me very happy.

drewincanada Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, it's a good price - but I'm not fond of date stamps. And it doesn't present as well as your copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a night shift worker and it had just been posted one morning when I got off. Some one had already made a counter offer of OSPG guide, but I decided to pull the trigger.It was a tad pricey but that book is dirt cheap in guide.I always thought it should be higher than the # 2...I wish I could've afforded to go for the 9.0 # 3 on the focused auction, but at $1550 and climbing, it's out of my league.This one is not bad...they don't turn up with white pages much.GOD BLESS...-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma23 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 There are some beautiful books showing up in this thread lately! Thanks for showing them. The #17 is one sweet looking book and the #3 is just about my favorite book from the early part of the run, aside from 4 of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
