Popular Post Grottu Posted June 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2022 Found this at a used book shop, mixed in with a bunch of tattered Dennis the Menace, Little Lulu and 1990s comics I’ve never heard of.

Popular Post Math Teacher Posted June 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2022 I picked this book from @SOLAR BOY. Now I just need a book from 1938, 1939, and 1942, and I will have a comic book from every year from 1938 to the present. For everyone who has been keeping along with me, I now have 23 GA comics.

I remember that project. Which book is your favorite so far? Any titles/genres you will pursue beyond the original project, or you're pretty much done with GA once it's over?

Any titles/genres you will pursue beyond the original project, or you're pretty much done with GA once it's over? Well, right now, my favorite book is Batman #47, although it's in a slab. That book actually has some significant value, while the majority of the other books that I have purchased are mostly reader copies. I did read Batman #47 in the DC Archive series, so at least I know what is on the inside. As for the favorite book that I have actually read, Adventure Comics #64 would probably be it. It has Sandman and Starman stories in it. I do have to be honest - reading GA books is most definitely an acquired taste. The artwork seems to be quite plain, especially compared to the current comics, and many of the stories seem to be mundane. I'm not begrudging anyone who enjoys GA material; it's really not my cup of tea. So, most likely, I will be done with Golden Age after I am done with this project. Although I have toyed with the idea of buying one of each major DC GA title, preferably in pre-code form. As of right now, I have 13 issues of the 59 issues I have identified (as you can tell, I omitted some series). I don't know how seriously I am going to pursue this project.

For quality content I'd put them above just about anything in the GA (and most of the SA as well). piper, Grottu, AndyFish and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
