Thanks...my GA collection has been all over the board, from 3.0 to 7.0,

so we'll see how they come in.

These books have seen a lot of moving over the years.

Marty, what is the first comic book you remember buying/reading as a kid? And do you still have it?

[Marty Mann]

The first comic I bought and still have was 1942's ALL-WINNERS #4

with Stan Lee as editor printed inside the front cover.

Any stories you may have while collecting comics through out the years?

[Marty Mann]

Seeing I bought my first Comic in 1942 I might have a few...

what would interest you?

Flash 104! And off the newstand. Do you have the Flash baseball cover?(forget the issue)

BTW I grew up in philly. Spent a lot of time in Fat Jacks when it was a real comic store. Ever eat at Sandy's Restaurant (breakfast and lunch...hoagies, philly steaks...) at 24th and Locust?

[higgsboson]

whoops saw your from Scranton. Ever been to Schickshinny (I'm sure I'm spelling it wrong)? No cheese steaks there, but the fishing is fine.

[Marty Mann]

The one Baseball Cover with The FLASH is #90 from December,

1947..."Nine Empty Uniforms". The issue has a great JOHNNY

THUNDER & BLACK CANARY story plus a Kubert HAWKMAN

and HAWKGIRL story. I still have this issue...but I don't know if

there are any other Baseball Covers.

Left Philadelphia in 1945 long before there was such a thing as a

"Comic Book Store".

I go to Fat Jack's about once a week since I work right down the street. They are a pale shadow of what they once were, but there's still some good stuff if you know where to look.

it's nice to see someone who was around back then is able to handle our newfangled internet machines. i can feel myself getting resistant to new technology already, but you give me hope!

 

still would love to see a thread of scans of those original owner books

[Marty Mann]

This is about as technical as I get...still trying to figure out how

to scan my books.

When and if I find out how to get them on the board how should

I do it...by year...by title...by publisher...or, alphabetically?

Just about every publisher/genre has a thread dedicated to them here in GA, so you can posts your books that way, or you can post them in this thread to keep them all in one place (thumbs u
