SteveLRoberts5 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Beautiful copy, Mike. I love the yellows. Great Page Quality, too! Yeah, I'm feeling much better. I'll be scanning more books in the very near future. Check out the Show us the 10-centers thread in the Silver Age Forum. I've posted two books there that you'll like I'm sure.

Scrooge Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 to Sal for remembering I cursed him out for throwing the before me when Flatrock listed this in the Marketplace months ago. Still mad at Mike for that one On Monday, I get a PM: Do you want the book? and here it is on Thursday Thanks (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 While I really covet the brick s--thouse cover on issue #4 - this is a pretty cool GGA humor cover. This was listed just as "high grade" on ebay and seller accepted a very reasonable best offer - I was amazed at how nice it looks. There are four minor spine tics and some yellowing on the back cover. I can't see grading this book any less than 9.0. My dilemma now is do I keep it or slab and sell?

SteveLRoberts5 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Here's the first Luthor cover in Action Comics. Purchased this VG/VG+ copy from Harley Yee. The back cover has a large crease in it, but is still in nice presentable shape for a major key. Good storytelling, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't keep up with the Mad imitators, so how is that Eh! in terms of the comedy? I agree about issue #4, that is the one I'd love to get a copy of. Another Mad-ish comic I like is Nuts, with my favorite issue also being #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quot Actually, I bought the book about 10 years ago, in the late nineties. BTW, comicdonna, you have one of the better Golden Age Action Collections that I've ever seen. I so enjoy looking at your book when you post then. SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLRoberts5 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 This is a 1954 book so it's not really Silver Age so I'll post the book here. From my experience, it's a difficult one to find. Detective Comics #209 has a very similar cover; when I dig it out I'll post it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
