Apotheosis' Quest for Mary Marvel

[Apotheosis]

Yeah, and a couple of auctions are running or coming up that should add about 6 more to the list

I look forward to seeing them in your Registry! Thanks for putting the photo's in; I know it's a pain but it really adds to your set

And the quest marches on... 3 more in today

 

#27 is one of my favorite covers and outside of the Mile High copy on Metro's site I've never seen another in grade...

 

 

#42 is available in high grade (9.4 I think) off of Vintage Collectibles site, but I just couldn't pull the trigger due to the letters being faded away on the bottom. I think this 8.0 presents much better.

Congrats, mate! Beautiful books!

 

I like this cover in particular; very dynamic.

But there's something about the phrase "Throbbing Suspense with Mr. Scarlet and Pinky" that I find deeply troubling.

Gorgeous books! One day I plan to chase that run as well.

You can really see the Judy Garland "model" in the front figure.

Is this a straight photo swipe? Can anyone ID it as a Garland publicity photo?

Thanks for the kind words everybody.

There are 50 Wow covers featuring Mary Marvel. I currently have 25 of them so I've officially hit the half way point. Out of the 24 that are graded (the #57 Mile High hasn't come back from CGC yet) 12 are top census, 4 second, 7 third, and 1 fourth highs. Not too bad so far.

Posted in the doorstep thread as well.

 

Cheers!

Very nice. I used to have a copy, but mine was only around a 4.0. Great pick up.

Thanks Brad! I'm about 20% done with the run so there's still much to be done and then on to WOW or Black Terror, too early to decide.

[Apotheosis]

Wow's are still nice and affordable... even more so then many of the Mary Marvel Comics run. Black Terror is a great run as well though and you get some Schomburg with that one. Tuff call.

 

Do you happen to have a Mary Marvel #8 yet? It's my favorite cover of the run.

Not yet. To be honest I haven't seen a single nice copy up for sale yet. I'm trying to stay in the Fine or better range which is making it a bit more difficult though.
