Without a doubt 214 is my favorite cover of the run, hugely influenced by the fact I saw one of these when I was still in High School and chasing down the usual Marvels and D.C.'s, I just could not believe how wonderful it was and paid $6 (which was a lot at the time). Managed to upgrade to this copy, love it so much!!!

Wow that ‘Promise’ collection looks amazing! It should be good for the GA market and take a little pressure off bringing Chinatown to market.

Some more photos. I’m not really an ego person but I am proud and thrilled that by the comments that have been made. It’s really about the comics not this old guy, I’ll post as much as I can and hey would like to mention that my good friend Dean was very encouraging and smart about this collection and it means a lot to me.

Standard fun

A few more Superman.

The most common 1940’s marks on them are the Chinese symbols and/or a ‘V’ in pencil. The ‘V’ stands or Vancouver Magazine the local distributor, understandably it’s often mistaken for a check mark. In the 1950’s the books have fairly consistent date stamps usually on the back cover. There are occasional variations and some books have no marks at all.

The Superman pics were for clarkkentdd, I forget who asked about Police (sorry) but here are some will post more as I can

I don’t get a lot of time for the boards these days so It’s been a while, but here are more Chinatown examples. Cheers

By popular demand

Will post the WECA books as soon as they return to me there is only about 12 or so. In the meantime here is somethings that have returned

This was fun, a customer just sent me a photo of the Aug 29 newsfeed in the Greater Vancouver subway stations.

I can confirm that the scans for Batman 36 and 41 are Chinatown Collection copies. Here is the 37, amazingly the 9.2 is highest graded (shared with three others) has white paper so maybe first among equals anyway.

Again a Chinatown copy I’ll post more as often as I can.
