Got this from CLINK last night. I have a fondness for B&B #113-#117 or so. Aparo's artwork was outstanding. His drawing at the time actually gave me the illusion of real movement. This one was a good story that was repeated in the Avengers as well, I believe. The Atom stimulates nerve centers in "dead" Batman to go find his killer. It's only an 8.5, but a stingy one IMO. I can't see ANY flaws to speak of.

 

I just got this in the mail. I can't find ANYTHING wrong with this book. Unless theres something going on inside, this deserves better than an 8.5. Hate the ambiguity of grading.

I agree because you can buy Grader's notes but it sucks to spend the five or ten dollars even possibly 15 just to find out...

Is there anything on the back cover like a small tear? If not I wonder what is inside? Great looking book.

No. There is nothing. It's a tremendous looking book. A recent grade as well. I've seen 9.2's that look worse than this. Maybe something on the inside brought it down. These things should have graders notes on the back where the blue label is.

Would be nice.

Picked these up for my collection this week.

Marvel Premiere 28 and Whitman MTU 77, along with a 1979 Thor pin.

[Dick Pontoon]

This was one of the first comics I bought off the rack, so I grabbed an upgrade at the LCS to sit next to my beater.

Wipe that smile off your face, Superman! I got this for a good price!

[wormboy]

Love that cover!

Found these cheap readers without board or bag in a drek box.  Considering how badly they were stored, I thought they were in surprisingly good condition.  Had to rescue them.  Loved Kubert's DC run on Tarzan as a kid.

Nice book, maybe something is going on in the bottom corner?

That's what I figured when I saw the scan pre purchase. But when I got the book, it's the liner of the capsule pushing against the cover some. It's all there with no missing pieces.

A little "Moon" action.  Have to say it really looks beautiful in person.

 

[Readcomix]

Long overdue 

[Brian48]

Still not sure why I bought the DD and Conan.  I guess you can call them "accidental" buys.  Pretty happy about the Star-lord though (the TPB came in at the same time).  Bought it off the stands 41 years ago.  Finally got off my butt and reacquired another copy.

[RogueRunner]

Picked these two up at my LCS this week. Got the ‘Tec 411 for $60 so I was happy about the score:

Nice grabs!  That Jimmy looks very nice.
