Special Golden Age book post. Post a special treasure...

My coolest and most favorite golden age book by a country mile. Centaurman was generous enough to give it to me instead of cash for some work I did for him. Yes, Win is the man, no doubt.

Would love to see some of the interior pages, especially the Sub-Mariner stuff. Fueldude that is a freaking classic.

No one captures the essence of an underwater scene like Everett.

It took me years to find a nice copy on this and I've been pleased as punch to own it since then.

A blemish free black cover, don't see one of those every day. Most impressive Steve, what would it grade out as 8.5-9.0?

8.5 to 9.0 all day long as far as I'm concerned.....our beloved hosts disagreed....

Not a particularly valuable or sought after book, but I love this Buck Rogers robot cover. This was the first pedigree book I ever bought (Lost Valley) and the colors are just amazing, especially the reds. It's one of those books that even after owning it for several years, I still pull it out every now and then just to look at it.

I note a curious resemblance to a later science fiction hero. Now who could that be?

 

BTW, didn't a special treasure join your household not that long ago?

Fantastic comics, everyone!

 

Here's the kind of book that get's me excited: early, rare, and impossibly high grade. Market value is much less important to me.

 

 

Btw., I decided to drop my Mickey Mouse Magazine thread after various people started downloading the images and adding them to their own web pages without asking me or giving credit. Don't want to be a prune, but stuff like that is kind of demotivating.

Sorry to hear that.

 

Thanks for sharing this one and the others!
