Well, isn't that interesting. I picked this up from a local dealer (Indianapolis area), and there was pretty much a nice little run of these FF's from like issue 19-43. I picked this one out as this seemed like one of the nicer ones of the group. He sent in #29 himself and it got a 9.4 but had color touch. He said these were supposedly from an original owner collection, so he was rather shocked and bummed with the color touch on that one and hoped mine didn't come back the same way, but it checked out ok, (whew). So who knows what the real story is behind that lot of books, you just never know.

and thanks for the heads up about the Bethlehem Pedigree.

Cheers,

Nice run of a great title!

 

 

Pity that the glory days of Mystery in Space were coming to an end by 1964.

Cool! The comics you posted above splendidly illustrate how Stan Lee managed to wean eleven and twelve year old readers from DC in 1964:

 

1. Action! Punch-ups on every cover and every other page.

 

2. Continuity, both issue-to-issue and inter-title with cross-overs galore! You couldn't just buy the one issue; you had to get the others for the whole story.

 

3. Making the reader feel as if he was part of it all, e.g. - "Have we got a tale for you! Please don't frustrate us! You've got to read it!", "And more super bone-head mistakes than ever!", "And never have you read such a boastful blurb!"

A few Spidey's I have in my photobucket:

 

ASM #15 - 8.0 (sorry no label shown, and bad flash reflection)

 

ASM #13 - 7.0 (again, sorry about the flash reflection):

This is one of my small stack of keepers..... favorite books though not necessarily keys. It's the Edenwald copy ....GOD BLESS...

 

 

Good stuff!

 

I don't care what kind of box office receipts they generate these days. I still say Fantastic Four was Marvel's flagship title in the Silver Age.

Had this all ready to go waiting for the new year!

 

Hopefully you didn't throw your back out getting them out to show us. That's a lot of plastic covering those fabulous comics.

Shockingly light on '64, just a few MIS

Perhaps light in quantity, but "heavy" on the quality. Very nice books.

Great books, "Hep." I'm a big fan of Metal Men and of course Supermans. Love both the Christmas cover and the Superman Annual 8. You have some of the best books on these boards!

There are a lot of fabulous collections on this board but never fear, I'll keep posting my comics wherever appropriate!

Hep sure does have "em". For Superman Silver, Steelcity and SteveRams also have awesome books in their collections.
