  1. I think there's a couple people here that like the Sandman. Here's a Cover Proof I've had for a while: I love Cover Proofs!
  2. Congratulations!!! What a great accomplishment. Thanks! I just need a few issues to finish off the other 3 titles I've been focused on: Funny Pages - I just need a #40 Funny Picture Stories - need a #4, V2 #1, and a Comic Pages #24 Star Ranger - I need a V2 #11 and I'd like an upgrade on my Cowboy Comics #13 Then it's on to Amazing Man and Amazing Mystery Funnies, etc.
  3. Happy New Year everyone! I purchased a small Frazetta collection recently that included a bunch of novels like these: Anyone know how to price these things? Thanks!
  4. Took me over two decades to complete this run as I'm no Gator!
  5. Get to work on organizing so I can come see this! Yeah, I'm working on it. The two group shots I posted earlier was the first time those issues had spent time so close together.
  6. Could that #33 possibly be a Church copy? (Double slash marks) Yes, I believe it is.
  7. My goodness, a very different color scheme to your copy than mine. Yeah, I think my copy spent some time hanging out in a store (notice the area in the lower right that was probably protected a bit by a price sticker) in either direct sunlight or under fluorescent lights.
  8. I think there are a couple of guys here that might appreciate these
  9. While anything is possible, the cover artist for #4 (Joe Buresch) was a poor draftsman - some of his interior work is quite abysmal. Thanks Damon. So, what Sacentaur is saying is that for once the cover of this Centaur reflects the poopy art inside Yes, I have seen Buresch's art and aside from the occasional good panel here and there in the rare case where he uses a more fussy style where there are in the end too many lines, his work is nowhere near professional. Still, the resemblance to Roy Crane on that cover is not accidental as the example posted by Damonwad indicates. Here's some more Crane. Wonder if Buresch used this for inspiration to draw women - 1934 could be harsh in its views ... Interesting. It hadn't occurred to me that he might be aping Crane. The depth of knowledge of you guys never ceases to amaze me!!
  10. I've been an off again on again collector since the mid-1980s. When I first started collecting, the Mile High Comics store on Broadway in Denver had monthly auctions. Every once in a while a Church book or two would get auctioned off (those were the days!!!). I managed to pick up a few Church books at those auctions (in fact, I picked up a few Centaurs which seemed cool to me at the time for some reason which is why I've been working on a few Centaur runs ever since). Most of the Church books auctioned were either insignificant at the time '30s books or '50s books though. The '50s books tended to be mid-grade. Some of the '30s and early '40s books were originally bought by Church from a second hand book store. Here's one such example with the second hand store flyer pasted in: King Comics #48 April 1940 :
