Nice Action #13, is that a pedigree ?

 

It used to belong to the guy in the middle...

 

 

Is that Truman Capote?

Larson copy of Action 13

[metropoliscomics]

Here is another great early Action that I just picked up.

 

 

 

Not only the Larson copy, but also the 1st app. of Big Train.

What's the significance of the "70" written on the cover? The same number is on Centaurman's copy of Action 17. Distributor code or did Larson write that on there?

Jon Berk's Action 20 Larson has a 70 written on the cover as well. I believe that the 70 signifies the number between 69 and 71. Pretty sure about that.

Interesting. I enjoy number theory, please tell me more.

Steve's analysis of the numbers is certainly correct.

 

On the other hand, these numbers also represent the distributor callback numbers for that particular title. In this case, the callback number for Action Comics is "70" and is one of the possible methods for identifying a Larson copy.

 

Every title has its own callback number. For example, the callback number for Funny Pages is "71 and the callback number for Wonderworld Cmics is "75". I believe Jon Berk would know the most abouut these callback numbers. Hopefully, they'll be providing a summary of all of them in the upcoming Pedigree book

Wait, I'm lost. What does 69.8 signify then?

Jon Berk's Action 20 Larson has a 70 written on the cover as well.

 

As does your Action #14.

The #13 & #14 make quite a pair.

JOHN WATERS DAD COLLECTS COMICS???

Actually the 'call back' numbers only appear on those books distributed by Publisher News and not Omaha News. Some Larsons have nothing on them....but it is clear this Action 13 is a Larson....when in doubt check page quality (always white....not sorta white) and maybe some foxing.....i have about 150 so have seen the spectrum of different "types"...jon

 

 

For instance here is Action 20 (thru the mylars)

(Uh-oh, I feel another bout of Larsonitis coming on!)

Just picked up this Larson!

 

[Durden08]

I'd mention on what an awesome copy of Action 32 that is, but this is the PRE Action 30 thread so I cannot.

 

Seriously, great book.

 

Is the Larson 13 or 32 you've showed us going to be listed for sale anytime soon?

A little known fact that DC made a mistake in their numbering. #32 came out right after #29. Does that help?
