CentaurMan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ok, so here's a book from 1937 I picked up recently, on a lark, and I don't know anything about it. It's in the Gerber guide (scarcity 7) but it's not in Overstreet (at least, I can't find it). The interior is a series of photographs with accompanying text describing various mysteries, and you the reader are supposed to solve them (with the text solutions in the back). It's a tiny bit larger than a normal comic, and the cover paper is sort of a cardboard stock, with no gloss. The back cover shows an ad for Ace Comics #2, which furthers the comic connection (along with the Gerber listing). How common is this? Does anyone else have a copy?

Scrooge Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 How common is this? Does anyone else have a copy? I've always liked that cover! I recall that Basement comics had a copy on his wall at the last Chicago Con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauby Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hi, All, I posted last year how I was getting into Golden Age books and was looking for more Flash Comics. (Hawkman is my fav.) Anyway, I'm happy to say that I have three now, two (91 and 33) are pretty beat but issue 29 that I just bought is great. I'm happy with them and will try to post scans ASAP. Can't wait to share them with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Looking forward to it. Have been looking at possibly buying a copy of #104 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Interesting item, but doesn't sound like a comic. Understandable that it's not in Overstreet - I wonder why Gerber included it. Is it closer to being GA comic sized or Magazine sized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it closer to being GA comic sized or Magazine sized? It's basically GA comic size, maybe an eighth of an inch taller. If you didn't see the interior, you'd say it was a comic. In the Gerber guide it's certainly indistinguishable from its peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fauby Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm loving the cover to Suspense Comics 10. That's cool cover art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauby Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 As promised, here are my Flash Comics. I'm hoping to add more this year. I was lucky and picked up #91 for next to nothing (my first Golden Age book). Granted, a cover chunk is gone and the cover is detached. But, the book is complete. I bought #33 from Metropolis Comics in summer 2006. Lots of damage to the spine and top. It didn't cost a lot and I love the cover. I just bought #29 from James Payette. His grading--as everyone has written--is amazing. There are some nicks to the spine and a small piece of tape towards the top but overwise it is great. I couldn't be happier with #29 and Payette. I love this issue because it is the first time both Hawks are on a cover, and it is the first appearance of the Ghost Patrol.
