Theagenes Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I've been outbid on this personal grail a number of times, so when this beauty popped up on eBay I finally sacked up and hit the BIN (which was very reasonable) within minutes of it being listed. I suspect if I hadn't, somebody else would have for sure. So now I'm broke, but I have this to show for it. Attaboy! The early Amazing Stories are wonderful, but be careful they are also addictive. I've bought several over the past few months. Since you are also a Buck Rogers fan..I thought you might enjoy these that arrived today, compliments of Marnin. Nice! That Famous Funnies 82 is such an underrated cover - the only Buck Rogers cover in the early days of the run (it was on the stands about the same time as Buck Rogers #2 or a little before.) and the #9 is definately the coolest of the three Toby issues IMO. When I saw all those Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon books that Marnin just listed I had some serious deja vu! Obviously I have very similar tastes to the person he bought the collection from. (And yeah, I think I'm going to need more of these early Gernsback-era AS's - they are cool! ) Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 These are some of the best of Supersnipe. bb If this title were being published today, it would be called "Bangzoom - The Man With The Most Comic Books In America"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 More Tip Tops! No. 32 also contains the first artwork by Jack Davis in a comic book. Davis was one of several winners in an amateur cartoon contest to have their work printed in this issue. Davis, who would have been about 13 at the time (in 1938), received a prize of $1.00 for his effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Gleason 2 from St. John, October 1955. Yes, I know it's a beater, but not a book you see every day! I really like the caricatures.

selegue Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Today's big box included some genuine Golden (and Atomic) Age comics! Here are some highlights. Brocho Bill, 1939, from the Floyd Paul Bradbury pedigree. What's with that name, anyway? Did he have a bad cough? I realize that there's a teensy bit of spine damage, but I'm just grateful to Floyd for taking good enough care of it to last for 68 years.
