Ace Comics featuring Four Favorites, Super Mystery, and Our Flag 6 6

[Tsp99]

 

I believe you meant FF #5 but even if not that is a SPECTACULAR copy of it!!!!

 

No, he listed 5. I think 10 is one of the best out there. I didn't include my copy in this pic, but how can you not love that cover?!?

 

 

Very scarce issue. Tough to recover from a blast in the gut like that!

Ok folks, here is my top 10 Ace Hero cover list and I reserve the right to change it at any time

 

1. Our Flag #5 (This cover has it all in my opinion)

2. Four Favorites #12 (Nippo and Courageous battling atop the world over the Pacific – Ferstadt Perfection)

3. Banner Comics #4 (Dive Bomb!! Always loved covers with the heroes diving in to save the day/night…ala Our Flag #5/MMC #28 etc.)

4. Four Favorites #5 (whats not to like? Every hero has their own particular obstacle and Courageous is going about it head first)

5. Super Mystery Comics v3 #2 (Big green man with a blade, little green man with an arrow, skulls, bondage, war bond stamp, heck even the Clown found a way onto this gem!!)

6. Lightning Comics v2 #2 (almost a More Fun #54 classic feel to it…Larger than Life)

7. Banner Comics #3 (Simple…Love Captain Courageous he's my favorite Ace character)

8. Lightning Comics v2 #1 (Tight wire cover high over the streets with damsel in distress!! Also the colors are so neat on this one)

9. Four Favorites #13 (love the simplicity here plus the large Nippo/Clown heads)

10. Four Favorites #8 (Action packed awesomeness and its pink...how often do we see that?!!)

 

So many Honorable Mentions out there its crazy to list them all but for starters…

 

Banner Comics #5

 

Captain Courageous One Shot

 

Four Favorites #10, #11, #20, #24

 

Super Mystery Comics (heck all the Clown covers)

v1 - #2,#5,#6

v2 - #1, #2, #3

v5 - #3

v6 - #3

I know I listed a lot but that’s because so many are SOOO darn cool…gotta have em’ all right!! (thumbs u

Well ..... I should qualify that .... this is an issue I still need covers for Here's my coverless & a peek at the 1st page (for those who enjoy seeing inside the books)

 

 

For a guy with no powers, The Clown sure gave Magno and Davey a lot of trouble ( Lex Luthor). He,s even in books where he wasn't the cover protagonist, like this one. That cover is one of a kind chaos! (And still one i need )

 

It's not every non-super powered villain that can simultaneously control faceless men, a skeleton dentist, a torture wheel, and dissolve people in acid. That is some serious multi-tasking.

He was quite the Arch nemisis!

 

Iv'e always wondered what would be considered the top 10 favorite covers from the publishers super hero line. And then, what would be considered the 10 hardest to find(not an easy feat with this publisher. Maybe all the 'fans' could compile their list, much like they do on the Timely thread (and have started to do on my other favorite hang out thread MLJ)and we'd come up with a close consensus. Super Mystery v6 #3 is a great classic(but not in my top 10 faves. I'd vote:

 

Four Favorites #24, #27, #6, #7 and #5

 

Super-Mystery Comics v3 #1, v3 #2, v3 #4

 

Lightning conics v1 #5, v3 #1

 

Sure-Fire Comics #2

 

and this list was NOT easy to decide. Killer covers abound!!

 

 

Can't argue too much, but I'd include Four Favorites 10 as part of the top 5.

 

Buttock,you've been holding out on us !

All three books you posted there made my list, and man, those grades! Please in your leisure post all separately in the thread (especially the v3 #4) so i can enjoy them even more from afar. Nice!

I would agree with Our Flag #5 and Four Favorites #5 right off. Lightning V2#2 probably as well. Four Favorites #10 and #11 should be in the top 10 for sure. The others maybe not so much. Too me the Super Mysterys are as a whole a lot better. Maybe, that is why I have more of them than any other Ace titles.

[Robot Man]

And speaking of them, I found a few more in one of my GA boxes.

 

Bought this at Terry's con a couple years ago. Presents nice but it pretty brittle. I don't buy brittle books usually but had to pay a little more and buy this one anyway.

 

[Robot Man]

The later Super Mystery issues don't get a whole lot of love generally. More of a crime title at this point but some excellent covers!

Hey Dan. Can we see bigger pics/scans of the Super Mystery?

 

Great three books right there!

[Robot Man]

Gotta love the flying meat cleaver and hands coming out of the wall!

Ok, here's a quick list of my 10 favorite Ace super-hero covers. I didn't consult anyone else's list, just about 10 minutes with the photo journal. In alphanumerical order:

 

Banner 4

Four Favorites 7, 10

Lightning vol2 #3

Our Flag 5

Super Mystery 3, vol2 #1, vol3 #2, vol3 #4

Sure-Fire 2

[Robot Man]

Something about a tied up babe and a hand grenade about to blow, just warms the cockles of my little black heart...

 

[Frisco Larson]

If memory serves, my count was that there are 82 Ace super-hero books. You'd think it'd be easier to narrow it down to 10 favorites, but it wasn't

It might even be too much of a beater for you Gino. The spine is shot. Looks OK in the mylar as long as you don't shake it. It seems to me that we have similar collecting interests. I really can't bring myself to spend what it takes anymore to get the high grade stuff. And, I don't thing it's going anywhere for a while but you will be next in line if I part with it..

 

[BB-Gun]

and heck, all of these...
