G.A.tor Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'll be in the minority on this one - I'll take the 1st ever meeting/team-up of Batman and Superman over a nothing issue of Adventure Comics. actually, looks like you are leading the majority... I too would take the Supes 76 over the MH Adv, but just by a hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I too would rather have the 20K to spend on something else - but if forced to choose - I'll go with the Adventure #55 - I kind of like those crude Baily Hourman covers - and agree that a super-high grade Church Adventure from the early 40's is cooler than a Superman book from the 50's - even if it is a minor key.

telerites Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Tough call but I gotta go with the MH Adventrue. You gotta love the yellow and black checkered pants on the crook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'd take the Adventure. 9.8 Church copy (!!) of an early hero DC; just a stunning book. I do like the early 50s DCs, but I'm amazed as anyone by that Supe 76 sale. This is neither here nor there, but with the Adventure I suspect (whatever you think of the cover art) that the scan is a bit washed-out, and not doing justice to the book. I'm sure that cover glows in hand, with rich deep blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 My take on the Supe 76 is that it might be a back room sale to inflate the price and we'll see it up again sooner or later, somewhere. These type of things run rampant in the hobby and make the Bluechip affair look like kids stealing bubblegum from the corner store. If someone knows otherwise.....I'm always glad to have my conspiracy theories proven to be nothing but wild speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the book has been under the radar screen for the general public but it's not been that way for the DC 50s collector. Supes and Bats are the two biggest characters and this is the story of their first meeting, which would lead to the re-casting of World's Finest from an anthology title to one based on team-up stories.
