PUNYHUMAN Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Wow, now I want to start collecting G-8! I have always thought the cover art on those pulps was very strong. Well, the FedEx man was kind to me today... after a few months of time payments, I got my SILVER STREAK #6. A lower grade copy, but solid, with nice paper. And the art inside is fantastic... really top notch stories (two by Cole I believe), esp. the PLANET PATROL strip, which features giant star-fish/octopus men!! And the cover speaks for itself... I would have just bought the cover. Ryan , what a great book to own !! Congrats !! Looks real nice. Now I'm going to have to get me one in the future.

*paull* Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) You guys are killing me with these great books! I just got back from the Big Apple show. Overall, I didn't see a huge amount of stuff that I'm looking for, but I always go in with a very narrow range of books that I'm looking for. This has been a very light year for me in comic book collecting, and I thought it was time I treated myself. I found a couple of nice ones today. The first: I have been looking for a copy of this book pretty much all year and have only been able to find a couple of lower grade copies (outside of the stellar Crippen copy in 9.0 which sold for $1300). I was content to find a beater of this book with a decent cover, but really lucked out today on this copy. It does have a flaw, however.... a one-inch by half-inch coupon cut out in the middle of the book. This is my kind of flaw, especially when it drops the price significantly as in this case. In 2003, Heritage sold a 7.0 for $373. I paid about half that price for this copy, and to my eyes, this book is about a 7.0 if not for the missing coupon. I'll take books like that all day long. Detective #168 with missing coupon, anyone? Edited November 19, 2006 by paull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*paull* Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Here's book #2 from the Big Apple National show. Power Comics #3 with cover by L.B. Cole. I consider this cover to be one of L.B. Cole's top 5 or 10 covers along with Mask 1, 2, Captain Flight #11, Contact #12, Blue Bolt 111 and 113, and a few others. Thanks to Motor City Comics for this book. I've been wanting a copy of this book since the mid-90s when I saw the cover in the Nick Kronfeld and Dark Adventure auctions in CBG. I finally found a nice copy that was reasonably priced. This copy perfectly matches my Mask 1 and 2 and Contact Comics 12, since all of them are in about VG or VG+. This copy has some edge chipping on the right front cover (due to slight overhang) and a small piece out of the bottom back cover.
