As I get each issue of Superboy, it is making runs withing the set. The last issue I picked up made this nice pre silver age set of ten . From a time period where the issues are less seen are harder to come by in decent shape.

Congratulations, Danny!

 

I know how hard it is to even come across some of those books, much less in the condition you've managed to find them in. I'm always impressed by what you've managed to find in your quest. :applause:

I posted this in the original art forum, but I thought it fit here as well. I recently won this great Golden Age cover and interior pages on Ebay. It is from the 1952 Harvey political comic "Strong for the People"

 

It tells the story of Dave Strong, a socially aware and patriotic young man from the midwest who gets elected to serve as a representative in congress in Washington D.C., where he learns about the legislative process and sponsors a bill which gets passed into law. The last page has an appearance by Uncle Sam. Each interior page came with a hand painted color guide with editorial notes.

 

Holy crud, that's a nice set. Where the heck did you find that?

Yep. I started to look at all the books Frazetta did covers on. Daunting to say the least. I don't have the budget a lot of you guys have (worship) but with some luck I can snag a few. This catch was just beginners luck I think. Cool that it was the 1st in the run though.

 

One more thing, I'd appreciate any guesses at what CGC might grade it at. The cover's flat, no creases or crinkles, back cover has a small (1/2 inch) tan stain at the top edge (could be age) no major problems and no pulls, it feels like it hasn't been opened (at all or) in a long time.
