KirbyJack Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I should start rebuying beaters just to keep this thread humming! It’s weird; the Pre Hero Marvel thread was one of the most active not that many years ago. We gave the War guys a real run for their money! bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucheee1 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’ll do my part to keep things going. Not sure if this meets the criteria for PHM, but I’ve always loved the red cover. TheWatcher, KirbyJack, bc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this meets the criteria for PHM, but I’ve always loved the red cover. That's the first Strange Tales after the Atlas Implosion, so yes, it definitely counts Very nice copy! Got a couple of lower grade raw copies, pick them up whenever I see them Always reminded me of this pre-PHM cover: Keep 'em coming! -bc Edited October 17, 2018 by bc grammar failure #1,346 KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucheee1 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yeah, I have 2 copies of ST 60. I think the one I posted is my lower graded book, but the other is only slightly better grade. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you found the right thread There seems to be an abundance of this issue in higher grades compared to the surrounding issues - wonder if it was part of some warehouse find? -bc TheWatcher and *Bronze age fan* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a tough book to find in any grade - census has only 9 copies with a lone 9.0 and then it drops to a 7.5, a 6.5 and a 6.0 to round out the top 4 grades. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucheee1 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Here is one of the first Atlas books (the other a ST 52) I ever purchased, bought in the mid 70’s at an old bookstore in Deland, FL. I paid cover price for both, and both were in pretty rough shape at the time. TheWatcher, bc and *Bronze age fan* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RICK STARR Posted October 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2018 I think the Strange tales title maybe my favorite. From #75 on, just issue after issue are fantastic.
