I thought all villians wore boots or slippers.

 

I thought both villains and heroes all wore boots or slippers.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it!

I just noticed there was a Clink sale this year of a 9.0 with OW/W pages for 2175.00 . I suspect the 8.5 Savannah copy went on the low end because the pages were probably CR/OW. Most from this collection were CR/OW.

From Alter Ego (Volume 1) #4 (1962):

 

The Flash cleans house to an extent (winning 5 awards) in the fan's Alley Awards (they mentioned these a few times in some SA Flash mags)-

 

 

Fabulous stuff! I'd like to see the Alley Award winners for other years too!

 

I wonder who comprised the Academy of Comic-Book Arts and Sciences though. Had they ever heard of Dell, Harvey, Charlton, Marvel or any other comic book publisher? Had they heard of genres other than superheroes? Had they heard of editors other than Julius Scwartz? Surely comics other than those of DC deserved recognition among the best, and worst, published.

 

[Hepcat]

Yes, thank you, the letter does indeed answer many questions! Given that the results and letter were published in issue #4 of Alter-Ego, it would appear that the 1961 ballot was probably mailed out no earlier than February 1962, which would explain the write-in votes for the Fantastic Four.

 

Here are scans of my Jay Garrick Flash crossover books:

Those are all great. 129 and 137 have always been two of my favs.

Here's the newest addition to my collection. I posted it in the grading forum as well, but I wanted to show it off here as well:

There are some really good bronze age Flash covers.

Here are scans of some of my Flash issues featuring the dastardly Captain Cold:

I have a particulary soft spot in my heart for #140 because I remember the spellbinding effect it had on me when I first saw it on the magazine stand at Les' Variety on Wortley Road in London.

I like the Captain Cold covers. Clearly DC thought that green was a good shade for him.

[Flash105]

140 and 150 are two of my favorites. I wish the cover to SC 8 was a classic since it is hard in high grade but it is not.

[Hepcat]

Here are scans of my books featuring the dastardly Top on the cover:

 

 

 

 

The villainy of the Top should never be underestimated. After all, this was the fellow willing to blow up half the Earth in order to rule the other half until foiled by the Flash in issue #122!

Hepcat,

 

You have many of the S.A. Flash keys. Can you name your favorite 3 or 4 issues, key or not?

 

 

[Hepcat]

In no particular order, 139, 140, 142 and 145. I think Carmine Infantino's Flash cover art peaked in the late 1963 to early 65 period.

 

[frozentundraguy]

Hep Cat, excellent choices. (thumbs u If I had to narrow it down, and just to book's I own, my favorite 3 would be 134, 121 & 142.

 

Note; the passenger in the truck is glancing up at the action scene.

I just got one. Decent price. Great book. Thanks to Andy. I wish I had known about it before you consigned.
