Theagenes Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Three new very fun arrivals today. I'm particularly stoked about the Comic Cavalcade #1. I've been looking for the right copy for a while now, with a clean, nearly perfect, spine edge. Many of the square bound GA books suffer lots of paper loss on the that edge. This one looks marvelous. Nice Bill! I agree with Fuelman, that Ibis looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 BTW, Comic Cavalcade #24 is a great book. The Green Lantern story features the last GA appearance of Solomon Grundy (Dec-Jan 1947-48). A lot of people think All-Star Comics #33 (Feb-Mar 1947) is his final appearance because at the end of it he is stranded on the moon, and then when Grundy returned in the SA in Showcase #55, Gardner Fox continued the story from All-Star Comics #33 and brought Grundy back from the moon. But in Comic Cavalcade #24, Grundy does indeed come back from the moon (I think he walks on a moonbeam!). I guess it was forgotten (or ignored) when the SA story came about. For reference sake....

Larryw7 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 What a nice selection of books! Can't wait to see the Comic Cavalcade in person. Comic Cavalcade #1 has always been one of my favorites of the "fun" style DC GA covers. An Irwin Hasen re-creation hangs on my wall. This is my favorite Comic Cavalcade cover: I remember seeing it reproduced in the 1977 OSPG, and the Good price was 12.00. I was eleven years old, and saved to buy a copy. But I never found a mail order dealer who had one at that price. I finally got the book this year from a boardie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sufunk Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Heres my 1 Captain Marvel that i got a few months ago but just got around to scanning. This was one of my 1st purchases when i got back into collecting last year. I dont have any other minis but i thought this one was pretty cool and it was unbelievably cheap for a 65 year old 9.6!
