In high grade yes. In mid to lower grade a little easier. Here is my run. Part of a bigger run for me. I’m after #65 to the end. Got most of them just need some upgrades. For reading, I can’t recommend them enough. Cover to cover with Robin & Batman with great Tomahawk Revolutionary War stories to Capt. compass and finally Ghost Breaker a lot of fun reads. Apparently. DC was trying to get in on the horror trend. First Ghost Breaker issue had an ad for the first House of Mystery. A cool time in DC history.

Popular Post writerwill Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 Hi all! I acquired this Archie#1 (my grail!) recently. I've looked on old message boards here, and I believe this belonged to another user and was graded at least 10 years ago. This is a 1.0, but besides the obvious brittle pages (the only CGC note), this book looks in darn good shape for being 80 years old.

Popular Post DocHoppus182 Posted May 26 Popular Post Share Posted May 26 Hard to beat an Archie 1. I find pre-Superman comics fascinating. So, I jumped at the chance for this. More Fun Comics 9. I believe this is the first comic book size issue of the series. @Superworld strikes again! Larryw7, Grottu, Point Five and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grottu Posted May 26 Popular Post Share Posted May 26 A cool one you rarely see, and even more so for reasons I didn't realize when I picked it up in an auction recently. First, it's arguably the best cover of this obscure 10-issue run. Also, inside there's a VERY early horror story featuring an old witch (this was produced in 1945, with a Jan. '46 cover date). And, best of all, there's a one-page humor strip signed by a 17-yr-old Alex Toth! He wasn't even out of art school yet .... gumption, Point Five, Turnando and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post D84 Posted May 26 Popular Post Share Posted May 26 (edited) Thank you @Polonsky for helping me upgrade this one! I normally don't leave books in the slab, but this one might stay put.

It's never too late to start collecting them... I didn't start collecting DC Sci-fi/Mystery until April 2015, and now I have 431 of them... Of course, it IS too late for me to start buying some of that cool old stuff you have... Edited May 29 by Tri-ColorBrian sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenging in 7.0 FN/VF and above, but not impossible. The first issue of the run (SSC #122) is the easiest. The last issue (SSC #130) is nearly impossible. But the most difficult quests are also the most rewarding, right? Good luck! Kevin.J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
