I like Blue Ribbon for reading. I love the Mr. Justice stories.

 

Agreed - Mr. Justice is Spectre-like, almost always a good read.

 

Cosmic Aeroplane (unfortunately, the bottom staple is popped):

So what's next in this game of Go Fish MLJ style ... anyone have any 6's?

 

 

I do have a nice Pep 6 (no scan, and I don't have the book handy sorry) - like Zip 6, my perception is that they are two of the more common early issues of their respective runs.

 

Larson:

Agreed. I see them both a lot. Just another that I already had scanned, so I figured why not.

Still nicer than my CGC 5.0. vibrant colors!

The joint is jumpin'!

Did a Boardie win that ELUSIVE Blue Ribbon 21 on eBay today? Punked out in the end thinking the snipes would be WAAAAY higher than the hammer

Did manage to snag something from that seller ( who is offering great seldomly offered books this and next week), but I'm gonna regret not going harder for that one. Harder to find than Hoffa...

Oh baby, that gorgeous copy would give the Allentown a run for its money!

 

 

This puppy ain't pedigreed, but it does have strong color and presents better than grade...

Great copies guys! You know I'd throw mine in the mix if I could get to it at the moment... I'm quickly running out of scans from my collection! I'll have to step it up this weekend.

Larson Larson Very nice #3 (tough book)(at least 25 years ago it was.....

Incredible books Steve! Glad you are back and posting funnybooks again.

 

BTW, you mentioned the Allentown Zip 9...

Thanks again (thumbs u

 

This is just crazy! What a fantastic cover, it's not missing a thing.

[sacentaur]

Solid Zip #1 there - the patchwork cover is interesting, and Steel definitely looks pissed off.

 

My earliest Zip is #4 (yes, another train cover!) - Larson copy:

Who doesn't like a good train cover? Beautiful book! I can't get over the colors and corners on all of your copies... like the day they were printed!

JB, Whirlwind Comics aren't MLJ's.

again, no comparison to your amazing copy.

No need to compare, it's not a measuring contest.

 

Your books are solid and attractive - I just happened to come across some quality issues long ago, and sometimes they were the only copies I could find at the time (so I bought them). Just lucky I guess, but yeah I'm happy to have them!

Well that's a relief ... hurt like a b--ch every time I closed the top of the scanner with the ol' spoon on it!

 

And on that note ... here's to a lovely day of MLJ!

I concur, gents take a bow, you knocked it out of the park!
