I thought about this one too Billy. I may have to change my mind about recommending to Gator that he change his name to Avarice. Perhaps you would do the handle proud?

Socratic Wonder Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well done on the Claire Voyant Count. That is a really underrated run Nice pick up Billy with the Jack 4. I hope to find a nice mid grade copy of that puppy one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I do like those early Heroic covers. I tried to post this before but I don't know if it made it through. bb Fabulous! I agree about the covers -- do you think this one is a team effort with Peter on Man o' Metal and Everett on Hydro-Man? Not as gooped up with captions and logos as some GA covers -- at least they're out of the way. One of the few Golden Age sets that I'd consider chasing. Far enough off most collectors' radar that the prices aren't too crazy. (OK, maybe I'd wait and buy each issue after ciorac has it -- working on a full run or just selected issues?)

Comicdey Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 a low grade reader of one of my favorite books.... esquire has a very nice high grade copy for sale....but I got this one for under $30 which was a screaming steal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack jack, a couple are hard; i've had one hole missing in the 1-15 run for a LONG time now, and never a sniff at it. So much for that half-baked idea. Billy P can't find one = no way in the world I could accumulate a set. What's the tough one, or would you rather not draw attention to it?

selegue Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I don't know where to put these. Here? Short bus? Duck thread? Bangzoom's thread? I stopped at The Great Escape on my way out of Bowling Green, KY, last night. Nice shop with about half comics and half music. They were doing a brisk business. I spent a while pawing through the cheapo bins then looked at some misc -- I couldn't resist these Peter Porkchops. Reasonable prices after 20% off for buying a good-sized stack. Peter Porkchops 21 May-53 Peter Porkchops 38 Jul-55. Unusual cover with all the empty white and light blue space. (The light blue didn't scan well but the scanner made a little light foxing look like advanced leprosy.) Peter Porkchops 45 Sep-56. I like this one best of the bunch even though it's sort of wordy. Already posted on the calendar thread in General. Peter Porkchops 51 Sep-57. Nice, simple cover with very "thick" inks. Reminds me of the fan favorite cover of Donald Duck shooting a bee off his beak. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
