MrBedrock Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 . Now I gotta figure out where your avatar picture is from....... It's from All Good Comics, the Rick Evans story. It so small you can't read it but it says, "Global Command, calling Rick Evans. Come in Rick Evans". I think that Rick Evans cat is the bomb! Awesome! how cool is that, you got your own comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicdonna Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It took me a while to find a decent copy of this book. It's a slabbed 6.0 with off-white pages. Wow! You don't see this one every day. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 My second Lou Fine Fox book. Not as nice condition-wise as the Wonderworld 11, but for under 2.0 guide I couldn't pass it up. Great cover on this one. My first pre-1940 comic book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cover on this one. My first pre-1940 comic book. I'm glad someone finally bought that. I've been tempted by it for months, but just couldn't get over the corner.

october Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm glad someone finally bought that. I've been tempted by it for months, but just couldn't get over the corner. Yeah, I went back and forth as well. It isn't that bad in hand, as the cover really draws the eye away from it. The guy knocked off $50 from the BIN price and gave me free shipping, so I couldn't walk away from it. I am glad I bought it, really cool book.

mr.schomburg Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 When I started collecting comics again about 4 years ago, I said Paul just focus on Silver age Marvel, and DC's Showcase title. Keep my interests small in hopes of completing nice full silver age runs. Quickly that expanded into a few more DC titles and most early bronze and all bronze keys. When last year I decided after completing 95% of my marvel, and huge chunks of DC at least keys and short and or early runs, to collect GA Timely's, I thought cool I can stay focused on these few titles. Captain America, MMC, All Select, All Winners, and all GA Cap books. That should be more than enough to keep me busy for the next 20 years. I was so wrong, since joining the boards I have found myself interested in so many diff. books my head is spinning. So I just picked up my first two Planet Comics in high grade VF- range issue 50, and 55! I will post pics later next week when they arrive. Very excited, keeping up with my new found interests and the Jones's is expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cover on this one. My first pre-1940 comic book. Nice! There are far less noble goals than collecting 1938-1940 Lou Fine Fox covers. Great job!!

CentaurMan Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I guess this is technically early Silver, but I think the mid-to-late 1950's Wonder Woman books are so tough to find that I consider them late Gold instead.

Scrooge Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 And here's another with the similar blue background, 44 issues earlier: Nice book. Probably tough to find a good looking copy since the blue gradient can easily be stained or look awful with aging. I will refrain from other commentaries about the cover image though ...
