selegue Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Today's big box included some genuine Golden (and Atomic) Age comics! Here are some highlights. Finally, a fair-to-middlin' World's Finest Comics 7 from 1942. Classic "sometimes a cannon between Robin's legs is just a cannon" cover. Do you suppose there's any restoration done on it? OK, you know me too well -- it's Flashback 28. I've never had one of these before -- I also got WF 8. Nice quality reprint (esp for the price), even though the interior is black and white. Lots more to come if I find time to scan! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatcher Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Today's big box included some genuine Golden (and Atomic) Age comics! Here are some highlights. Real Life Comics 21, January 1945. Why post this one? A rarely seen Schomburg cover, and an freebie from one of my favorite ebay sellers! There's even a Hitler-Stalin story. Jack If I hadn't seen the signature, I would've never guessed Schomburg. Excellent cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Is that sewn back together It actually looks more like preventative stitching (with bailing twine), not a repair. Does that make it restoration? Do I have to disclose it? I NOD to the collective wisdom of the group. Show the Airboys so I can make you an offer ... And finally, in response to overwhelming popular demand (Who's Scrooge popular with?), the books that are going to make me a Wealthy Man! Airboy Comics Vol 7 #11. Airboy Comics Vol 8 # 12. Great colors on this cover! Both feature fun stories (on first glance) and Heap backups. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) A couple more from yesterday's box. Captain Midnight, Fawcett 44, September 1946. Tracy-like cover -- is it by someone imitating his minimalist style? The purple picture frame looks unusual too. "The kid who wanted a crack at the Japs!" is an interesting "Thrill-studded yarn about the last days of the Jap war!" -- i.e, an inventory WWII story that didn't get used before the war ended.

selegue Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 A couple more from yesterday's box. Heroic Comics 29, March 1945, includes a very strange Vitaman story, Music Master, Flyin' Jenny, and the last Hydroman, most definitely not by Everett! Overstreet says that the painted cover is by Harvey Fuller. Here's the Vitaman splash page. Done in an odd cartoony style, it's full of fourth wall-breaking and odd gags about superhero conventions. The hero is sort of a budget-basement Hourman, getting his powers (whatever is needed by the plot) by slamming down a handful of vitamin B1 from that bottle around his neck!
