You'd be forgiven for thinking that was No.1. The Super Friends were pencificated from issue 10 to 47. I wonder if anyone actually collected the title, from the shops, and noticed the transition from stamp to printed price? Our cover star friends seem to be fixated on the stamp here... ...imagine their surprise when a 12p printed price arrived the next issue...

I love that big, awkward looking 15c price font One for the kerning enthusiasts to marvel at... DC, sorry.

Tought it was the best place to ask... now i own a JLA #1 for 1 month and i decided to start to complete an entire JLA Run. I completed several entire moderns runs but now its the first time that im gonna make a pre crisis serie. Firstly notice that im relatively poor comparated to some of you in this thread... and i dont care of the grade, I just want to have some copy which look attractive to my eyes and complete, i easily find books in 3 to 4 range who satisfy me. So now my question is that i found someone who own an almost full run from 95 to 261 and i have an agreement with him, i could get all that stuff for 3$ each and considering my location it could be smart to get a great run like that which is not easy when we re not talk about modern books... however i still hesitate for a reason... maybe especially considering my limited budget and the current situation of the market starting to pick up the early stuff could be a better strategy? If i purchase this stuff i wouldn't make any other purchases before like 5 months... and honneslty i look the auction on ebay on i see that at contrary as what some are saying the Bronze books still seems to worth totally nothing, i mean exept if your look for MINT books all this stuff from the 70s often go for ridiculous price of 1 or 2 and i dont really think that it will change in the next 5 or 10 years... what do you think? Look: good exemple, this book is considered as a key and sometimes go for 10 or more but still in a really low market and sometimes just nobody are interested and the book go for starting bid price...

I've said it before, and I"ll say it again, I don't ship to the IFS, (Italy, France, Spain) because it's iffy if it gets there. I'm willing to add Belgium to the list, and call it the BIFS, but "biffy" isn't as pithy as "iffy"

Blonde hair, black silk, yassssss. Thank you, mailman. I think I might like the later publication of the same novel by Avon in 1958 under the title Shameless with a Chiriacka cover even more, and that cover girl's not even blonde...

This title is seldom seen: 13 17

I've only got one issue of Rex, I think I paid $5 or so for it back in the day because it was low grade but still looked fun.

A seldom used trick to make a striking fire image is to utilize pink in the coloring of the flames.

This one is just nuts!!!

I thought so when I was little. I still think so now.

Not many of the originals around either...

Just curious, are you using a small penlight or flashlight to critique? May be a silly question, but I'm just wondering.

I'm still working at completing my set of Philadelphia Gum Super Hero Stickers from 1967: Vintage sticker sets are typically much more difficult to complete than vintage bubble gum card sets since stickers tended to be used and thus destroyed.

One of the very best!

I think I need it in my collection.

In today. Nothing major, just a UK variant that somehow made it back to me in the US. Bronze, but in the time frame of the general topic:

I have one of those too! Uncoloured. While Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was indeed a great artiste, he was capable of only air brushing. The finished line art for his T-shirt designs was rendered mainly by Wes Bennett and then from late 1964 onward Ed "Newt" Newton. I built both Rat Fink and Angel Fink as a kid and I have all the Roth custom rod kits with the exception of Surfite and all the fink kits with the exception of Scuz-Fink, Robbin' Hood Fink and Boss Fink in my present day collection. And I refuse to even consider "kiddy" Snap-Together kits for my collection! I just say "No!" to any model kit that doesn't require styrene cement to build.

He's an incredible actor. I hope this film is salvaged. It has really gone through a lot of setbacks so far.

I should have thought of this earlier... Are we allowed to make "want to buy" posts as well, or do we need to do those over in the Comics Market- Want to Buy thread?

It is so immersive. You will love it.

Wow one of the best Marvel Mystery covers!

I think those were only included by Don on the original art. Maybe the art page that sold was the way to go.

Do you think this one looks better than the first one I posted?

I never understood why this book didn't get the same love as some of the other big Spidey keys. We have the first appearance of two major characters within the Spider-Man mythos with Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn. The red cover make it tough in high grade copies as well. I am thinking about buying a few high grade copies to hold but wanted to gain some perspective from others.

Sorry if this has been covered, but I am curious if people are reading this character or if this was a product of the Dan Slott hype machine. If people are really into Bailey, what issues really stand out as a "must read"? How does Baily stack up against some of the other Spider-folk (Miles, Gwen, Silk, etc). Would like honest discussion and not pump and dump.
