You get ONE comic book for life, pick it...

[Comicdey]

In the same vein as Comicdonna , I can never get tired of staring at this cover. My baby.

 

 

 

 

And I believe it was comic of the month on the CGC website.

 

I saw that book in VG condition I believe recently on ebay. I wonder if anyone on the boards picked it up. If i was an Action Comics/Superman collector, this would be in my top 10 wantlist.

 

Being in the petroleum industry now, that's a must have....awsome cover.

George has made me come to my senses! Earlier I posted my Batman 1 in response to this query, I have thought it over and I give you my COMIC FOR LIFE!!

Four Color 223

[Silver Surfer]

I only get one comic for life that's easy , Fantastic Four # 55 !! I know it ain't Golden Age but that book sure brings back memories. Riding in Dad's red convertible on a beautiful summer day in 1966 , stopping at the corner grocery store & buying Spider-Man # 41 & FF # 55 with it's Haunting purple background on the cover while the Thing & Surfer squared off , don't get much bettter for me.

OHH!! & that Lee, Kirby, story & art inside!!

And my Dad , I miss him. As I 've said before , I can pick up a comic & tell you Memories. & they are Precious & they can't be sold , but they are cherished !!

 

Great story Punny and not a bad choice.

Am I wrong or did Comiclinks 9.0 Batman # 1 go up to 450k for asking price ?

Thats the book id pick.

[comicdonna]

Wow! What a nice book.

[hobbes]

If only I owned a copy. Actually I have had a few opportunities to pick this particular book up but I always end up having more important things to do with my discretionary income.

 

I got the scan from here . The site has a nice gallery of Schomburg's "Xela" covers.

If I was stranded on an island with one book, I'd much rather stare at Phantom Lady than Batman any day of the week.

Point well taken. Taking your lead, I would hide this one inside the Tec 27...(course I would have to crack it first)

This is a tough one.

 

My favorite CMA books, due to the covers:

 

One non-CMA cover I can never get tired of looking at, and would love to own:

I really thought about TEC 27 or Cap 1 but I gotta go with my Cap 66. It took me years to meet this goal and I've become rather attatched.

but, over time, couldn't that distracting woman in the background spoil your fun if she kept peeping while you were doing your thing with bruce wayne sans costume and clothes? don't you have any loincloth covers with guys ONLY?

[nearmint]

That is a beautiful book! Any other MH Actions from that time period?

I paged through that copy many years ago in San Diego(long enough ago that it was in the old convention center). Gary Carter brought many Action Mile Highs that year, but we weren't able to work out a deal. Triple guide was the norm at the time, but he was asking quadruple. I ended up buying a raw 8.0 copy of Action #47 form Windy City Comics instead.

Well to narrow it down a bit and make this easier to decide, if there was one GA Canadian print I would want it is this copy:

If anyone knows who the owner is I would sure like to know.

Stupidly sold it to Ken Stribling, along with several other Actions, for 1.25 guide. This was a decade ago. High grade Actions had surged in value over guide, and I didn't get the memo.
