VintageComics Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks gang. I'm really excited. I'm going to crack it and read it. Maybe right now as I'm winding down after a very long day. Can't go wrong for a $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Just got this in after the USPS decided to detour it through Australia. I'm a sucker for early Schomburg and yellow covers. you can't take everything (or can you ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 This was waiting for me when I got home from Mexico. Can't beat Kubert and Mummy/pharoah covers. The GGA doesn't hurt either. Good stories too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Awesome! I've never seen that one before. The colors are eye-popping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yeah, I was impressed with the colors, however there is slight moisture damage to the right side of the cover...nevertheless, very bright with nice pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearmint Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Just got this in after the USPS decided to detour it through Australia. I'm a sucker for early Schomburg and yellow covers. Looks familiar. In fact, it looks like my scan has followed that book from owner to owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you stand stained books in your collection? Send it to me and I will sell it for you on consignment......to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Can we still post our POS here? This is an eBay special: Poor Grading with High Shipping but ... since it was the last St John I needed, I'm grudgindly (sp?) happy to have over-paid. Plus, the interior art has 1 story by Lily Renée and 2 by Ruth Atkinson so it's nice to see female artists almost carrying an entire Romance comic-book Oh, and yeah, that Baker dude isn't bad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Can we still post our POS here? I hope so, because I'm about to follow up. But this is no POS, this is a cool book! Renée, Atkinson, Baker! My favorite part: "The whole town called me a hussy when I started picking up boys I didn't know!" (OK, maybe they didn't all use the word "hussy".) and "I spelled KI$$E$ the wrong way!" HAW!

selegue Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Can we still post our POS here? ... That's Prize of Shipment, right? Two fun Atomic Age Blackhawks for well under $20 each. Yeah, I see the chips. I come to praise 'em, not to slab 'em. Blackhawk 48 from January 1952 with a colorful Reed Crandall cover! Interesting stories starting to show a heavy Cold War influence (plus a goofy Chop Chop story). Blackhawk 65 from June 1953 with a cover dedicated to skypinkblu, fazybones and joanna. Still Crandall, but do you think he may have just given Cuidera a rough layout? More Cold War goodness, more goofy Chop Chop, more science fiction themes sneaking in.

selegue Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Bob Swift, Boy Sportsman from Fawcett in September 1951. Norm Saunders cover, not in Gerber. Nice looking book inside (see more on the Short Bus). It didn't break the bank. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting stories starting to show a heavy Cold War influence (plus a goofy Chop Chop story). The first half of 1952 has one of the best run, if not the best, of 5 or 6 covers in the entire Blackhawk run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm with you on the Blackhawk 65. If there was any Crandall on that cover it was erased and inked over. The Blackhawk 48 is an excellent cover by Crandall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
