Durden08 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Neither book does much for me, but I'll have to lean towards the MM #1. I believe DC had a 2nd printing of TEC #2 on used toilet paper and I'd like to avoid those editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 While neither book is really blowing my skirt up, I would have to go with the Tec #2 due to: rarity, historical signifigance of being the #2 book in such popular, long lasting title, and the very cool and unique cover art associated with this issue. Mystery Men #1 is a little too for me....but still would be a neat book to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashrael Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Mystery Men #1 for me because the right edge of that 'Tec 2 was used as toilet paper by some bum at the end of the great depression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 the Mystery men wins this one for me, that book is just too cool. If the tec 2 was more presentable, maybe it would win, but who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 glad you like the new avatar Bill, it came from a comic I got from an awesome guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 MM 1 for me, no question. It's Lou Fine! Tec 2 is historic, and incredibly tough, but that's definitely not one of my favorite Flessel covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Ok, we've got a 3-3 tie on the 'Tec #2 vs. the Mystery Men #1, and I'm no more convinced on my mild MM vote than I was before reading the explanations. Anyone else have a strong feeling on this one? MM 1 for me because it is the more appealing copy. Nothing wrong with the Tec 2 if you need it to complete a run, but I figure that I would enjoy handling and looking at the MM 1. Tan pages are bit of bummer, though.

ciorac Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 MM 1. I would hold out for a better looking copy of the Tec #2 Again I agree with 1koko. I like this guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 the Mystery men wins this one for me, that book is just too cool. If the tec 2 was more presentable, maybe it would win, but who knows...

G.A.tor Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 hello all... I have to mildly agree...the Tec 2 is cool, but not the "best" in the run...I am not particularly a fan of Marvel Mystery, but from a purely aesthic view point...MM for me rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
