ciorac Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just back from CGC.... Gotta love the Hangman covers. What are you doing with a low grade book in your collection What? It's low grade? ....Wow, you are right! ..... Who wants this piece of junk? (Thanks for the thumbs up scrooge!) Just to help out and all......

ciorac Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 What? It's low grade? ....Wow, you are right! ..... Who wants this piece of junk? All my saying is that those super HG Timely books aren't going to be kind to that MLJ 6.5. I know! Anybook above VG in my collection is eyed with suspicion by all the others. Every time one of the high grade Timelys gets a little uppity or out of line I remind them that they could just as easily be in the collection of someone who just loves them for their monetary value. They immediately become VERY accepting! No comic wants to feel like a whore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I love Fighting Yank #8. I have an 8.0 copy, too. Jeff, Its completely you and your Nedor thread's fault I am collecting Nedors. I dont know if I should thank you or curse you. I think I know which one Jeff is thinking right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 And this..... I am not a big fan of these latter Fox books. But this one was in such nice shape, the cover ain't too bad, and sacentaur was about to donate it to the local Goodwill drop box. I figured if I gave it a good home with lots of love, maybe it would grow on me. Richard, I am very pleased you like the book (that IS a cool cover for a late Fox book, IMHO). FYI, I donated my Larson Marvel Mystery 4 to the Goodwill instead...I needed the tax break! STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearmint Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I remember the days when I had an LCS that would get in books like that. Of course, that's just a distant memory now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Biggins Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 About every 6 months around here a little pocket of goldenage shows up in one of the LCS. I make it a point to visit the ones I don't do my regular shopping with at least 3 or 4 times a year. Sometimes I get lucky on a random visit. Still kicking myself for not buying the complete run of Venus in Mid to high grade when it showed up. I decided to wait a day to think about it. Someone bought the whole run that evening.

october Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Three new pre-code books for me. I'd never seen the Men's Adventure before it was offered to me. Killer Heath cover on the Spellbound, and one of Briefer's best on the Frankenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Love that Spellbound, Andy. Also, have always liked those Frankenstein books...tell us how the stories are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Love that Spellbound, Andy. Also, have always liked those Frankenstein books...tell us how the stories are. Just read the Frankenstein. The story was pretty good. I always thought it was too bad that Hollywood and comics strayed so far from the source material. Shelly's Frankenstein was nothing like the "popular" view of the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Briefer's Frankenstein is one of the undiscovered gems of the GA. If I had extra $$ lying around I'd try to get the whole run. Really a top notch strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was interested in these Frankenstein comics but knew nothing about them until I listened to a podcast of "The Golden Age of Comics" recently. Frankenstein Podcast Briefer's Frankenstein started with horror stories in Prize Comics #7, then became a humor title, and then reverted back to a horror title when pre-code horror took off. A very interesting history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
