Great book Billy!

First original DC Silver Age concept! There's a strong argument to be made that Showcase 6 is the first SA book given that the Challies got their own title prior to the Flash. Where would the Fantastic Four be without the Challies? Kirby was there at the beginning of the SA of DC Comics and he laid the groundwork for what would happen when Marvel's SA started with Fantastic Four 1. Stan was there to help Jack take Marvel's Challies one step further!

My LCS had these beauties today. FF 60 is probably my favorite Battle cover, centering is off on the 60 but the colors just pop on both of these so I had to have them.:)

Not sure I had ever seen #60 up close, they but heads for sure. Pretty!

Just came in and I’m very pleased. It was sold as VF and it definitely is. What a beauty. Also, this book was shipped double boarded in fresh Mylar, wrapped in bubble and perched on packing peanuts but when I opened the box I was immediately blasted with cigarette smoke smell. Haha. Gross.

Nice Book! Its probably the bubble wrap making the smell. I get new plastic coverings for work all the time and for whatever reason they always smell stongly like cigarette smoke when we open them.

One of my favourite books. I would love to see it out of the bag.
