bc Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Didn't notice this before but isn't that guy in the lower right corner stepping in the molten steel? I'd make a pun about a "hot foot" but haven't had enough caffeine. It sort of reminds me of the cover of Marvel Comics 1 in some ways... -bc KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for this issue it was more like frustration. KirbyJack and bc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosland Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Strange Tales 76 is indeed very scarce, congratulations on landing a great copy. It's one of my favourite ST PHM covers (along with 70). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember when that one came up. Got too rich for me at the time. Do you have a nice #73? Another elusive issue in grade that I have not located.

RICK STARR Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Did anyone win any of the Shasta Lake pre-heroes offered by Heritage last November? One the most significant PH finds ever. They were pricey, no doubt, but just gorgeous copies with white to OW/W paper. jimjum12, The Commissioner, batman_fan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) I was just an avid spectator during the Shasta Lake auction. But man those were some real beauties! And yes, they realized some monstrous prices (pun fully intended). Here's a couple of the uber grade books from that collection: -bc Edited April 22, 2020 by bc KirbyJack, DR.X, jimjum12 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
