  2. Lightning Comics V3#1 1st Lightning Lass Grapic splash page RARE VG+ 4.5 White pgs would grade higher but has piece out lower corner back cover. Asking $2600
  3. The late 40s to early 50s issues of Star Spangled are some of the most enjoyable comics around. Adventure of the same period is also highly underrated. Really, all the anthologies. Folks just don't seem to care about the back-ups. Me, I love them also. Especially Vigilante, Shining Knight, Robot Man, Wildcat, so many!
  4. Is it a good sign or a bad one when you read Mike's notes & can't see the defect mentioned?
  5. The "Tomorrow's Stars Appear Today" ad was on the inside front cover of many/most DC comics with a cover date of June 1962 such as this one: This was the ad on the inside back cover of those issues: This ad's first appearance was on the inside back covers of DC comics with a cover date of February 1962 such as this one: Two things to note though. First of all DC's claim of "For the best in comics entertainment" was probably dead-on accurate at the time. Dell had self-immolated by raising the price of its comics to fifteen cents in December 1960, Archie and Harvey had much more limited product lines targetting a generally narrower demographic, and Marvel wasn't putting up much of a fight yet. The Fantastic Four had gotten their uniforms only that same month in issue #3. Secondly Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis, the Fox and the Crow, and Sugar and Spike are all featured but Wonder Woman is not despite her status as one of DC's iconic characters! Editor Robert Kanigher was of course busy running the Wonder Woman title into the ground at the time. He wasn't sure who made up his target market so he tried to target everybody and ended up missing them all. Neither did already legendary war hero Sgt. Rock appear in the ad. I would have replaced Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis with Wonder Woman and Sgt. Rock. This message was on the inside front covers of the DC comics cover dated February 1962: Very sad. 'Nuff said.

  7. One for tonight TAR #1 WP- $875 Last GPA same grade had OWP
  8. Agreed. And because of the over printing in the 1990's, most of that run can be bought for next to nothing.
  9. This beautiful book is on it's way back to me right now.... even with the pressing I did not think it would get 9.6.... YAY.
  10. My CGC copy of Superman 348 actually has a little home-made sticker with issue number pasted over the “W” logo.
