GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Sweet! Rockford? ....I've always wondered....the defects seem to match Wilson's description and grade when he first sold them.....but I've never seen an image from his catalog larger than a postage stamp. The color and gloss are super.....but the inner cover is tan.....just like a Rockford.....It was Jack Juka's (sp?) copy when Heritage auctioned it off....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. Gerber calls it a 5....but I don't think I've ever seen more than 6 or 7 different copies for sale in my entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first read it when I was a teenager in the early 70's.....a reprint somewhere. I always wanted a nice S&K issue of Adventure, and this one is as good as any. Issues 73-80 also have S&K Manhunter stories, PLUS Burnley Starman, Bailey Hourman and much more. I still can't understand why their popularity has waned in recent years....they were once highly sought after. All the S&K Sandman stories were collected a while back in a hardback edition from D.C......less than 50 bucks....highly recommended. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S.

jimjum12 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 ....it really is, and they're those FAT wartime books that are big as a placemat. Issues 77 and 78 are real bears to find. An occasional pedigree copy surfaces here and there....but if you like a nice solid Fine....don't hold your breath (unless you plan on taking a swim while waiting ) GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
