JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I have a few Wilbur pieces from the David Crippen "D" Copy Collection (?), and this one is one of my favorites that I just got (or rather, opened from the Comic Link box!) today: I love those Lauren! I once put the whole run of Wilbur together. Sold them on eBay a couple of years ago in a weak moment... I'm still looking for #1 and 2 to complete my Wilbur run. Ginger, I only have 1, 4 and 8. She's a hard gal to collect. WOW! You must have been working on the Wilburs a long time. 92 issues to track down takes some time. I know it took me a few years. ...6 months. This is more or less my whole life. Wow, piecing together a near 100-issue run of any GA title deserves a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a beautiful comic! thank you, young lady. i've loved it for years, but it rarely comes available. so glad to have one that pretty. one of the best features of slabbing is to encase the paper-challenged books.

JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Recently freed from the collection its been in since 1993, this gem is now the cornerstone of my high grade Classic Cover collection. Probably one of the nicest 8.0 GA books around. I'm not much of a DC guy, but I can't resist those Superman Classic covers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 What issue #'s are contained within? Looks like a pretty complete run of Sparkler comics...... Is this issue in there? Unfortunately no, that is a great cover:) ...the numbers start with 13, then volume 8 (which I think were the Sluggo and Nancy ones, I'd have to look, is missing, then it goes up to the end of the series, There is a #32 (I think that's the right number) that one is a Gerber no show...
