Picked this up from Steve Ritter at SDCC today. It's slightly restored with a cleaned cover and a bit of glue on the spine. He had it graded 7.5 SP.

Saw it listed on WWComics. Considered a purchase. Knew it wouldn't last.

 

Nice pickup Jeff (thumbs u

Happy to have finally landed a copy of this book last night off of the Bay...

Another super cover to go in already super collection of classic cover issues! :applause:

 

At one stage I contemplated compiling a list of 'mirror image swastika' covers and then going for it. This is a classic of the genre.

I still think it very possible it's an Okajima

 

The Space Adventures or action 23?

 

s.a., cuz it's got this code.

Great eyes, Gentlemen. I think you all might be right. Here's a couple more (not mine), and they all seem to have similar handwriting (the "8" even has the same wavy open top circle).

I am on the train back from SDCC so I can't post a picture right now, but I got my first Okajima today! Sensation Comics #32. It is Cgc 8.5 with White pages and the classic okajima date and name on it! A camp book Tied for highest graded and better pages than the other to boot! Yay

Just got home from SDCC, and we had a blast! Always great to spend a few days geeking out with old friends, and getting to know other geeks better as well.

 

I sold the eight books I brought with me, so to feel better about myself I did manage to pick up three comics for my collection from Bunky Brian. Thanks again Brian!
