Not sure!

Yeah, I collected 52 and read it weekly as it came out, but that's the last time I read it, so to be honest, it may as well be new to me, besides the BIG plot points, of course, which I still remember the answers to. Doomsday Clock I also bought whenever the heck it decided to come out, but I never got around to reading it. I was saving the issues until I had a good amount to get through, and then I just never got around to it. But I love the creators involved, and for the price I couldn't say no. Worst case scenario is I hate it and sell it and lose $10 on my purchase price. No big deal. But even if I hated it, which is unlikely, I'd probably be inclined to keep it for my Geoff Johns collection.

To this

...and closer...

...well, it gets me closer...

I posted some more evidence that WDL distributed Dell UKPVs over in my Dell UKPV thread in the week. Best place to post it, I thought. Anyway, it indicated that the first Dell UKPVs would be on sale in the UK in March 1960. In theory, the first Archie and Marvel UKPVs would have been arriving around the same time. Good times! The first two Marvels, as we know, were the two 58s, Gunsmoke Western and JIM. Only Gunsmoke Western carried the Miller distribution indicia data - the T&P details were absent from their inaugural UKPV issue: So if anyone had their eyes open, and spotted the UK printed pricing in that first period, the only books they'd have been able to identify the distributor on would be the Miller Gunsmoke. What's the point of this rambling...?

back to back Boks or rather Bok to Bok...

Spell check...

Evidence of mucking about, found in the files...

On it!

Nice books.

A nice reminder of stamp numbering issue sequentiality...

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.
