batman_fan Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 NIce cover. These books are just plain incredible. It is amazing seeing Batman's and Superman's from this time period in such high grade. They are so hard to find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

multicynic Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Another dandy. The scratch by his arm must be from my high quality (only joking) inexpensive ten year old scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Beautiful comics, multicynic. If i was starting a collection today, I think I'd concentrate on DCs (and Dells) from that time period. They hold a lot of nostalgic appeal to me, they're still somewhat affordable, and it would be a fun challenge to try to assemble a collection all in high grade.

selegue Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 One more from a great batch of beaters that I got today, then I've got to stop! (Others are on Silver Age or Short Bus.) Dale Evans Comics 9, Feb-50, a fairly uncommon book as far as I know, so I was pleased to get it for a good price. Undistinguished and rather muddy photo cover. The artwork on the Dale Evans stories, credited to Jim McArdle (who?) at GCD, is too blocky and crude for me. Fortunately the spine is just strong enough (what's the worst that can happen, lower it from good- to fair+?) to scan a page of the great Sierra Smith story by Alex Toth! I guess my posts the last couple of days are my answers to both "Why Do You Collect What You Collect?" and "Why is it so difficult to maintain Focus?" Jack "maintain" focus?

selegue Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Just arrived today from Marnin. Detroit Trolley copy of a cool, offbeat WWII Axis cover. Yikes! Look what Bill did to me for missing his cool Joe Palooka cover sandwiched in the middle of all those amazing Superman books! Tough to give it a thumbs-up in my condition ('til I'm restored). Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini, plus Spike Jones (and Walt Disney) song reference to boot! I've never seen this cover. I didn't even know that Joe had a little Chinese (?) sidekick named Yoo-Hoo! Thanks for the pointer. Jack ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fun book also sports the first Vic Jordan, with lots of lovely Mata Hari types in the opening story. PS Also Sparky Watts by Boody Rogers! Those are a hoot! The superhero who beat Fantastic Four's cosmic-ray origin by decades, and had the powers of much of the Justice League (but no costume). If you (or anyone) have any scannable reader copies of the Sparky Watts run, they'd be fun to see. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
