I bought some from Marnin Rosenberg back in 1997/98 along with Detective, Superman and World’s Finest. The collection was too early to be CGC graded though some were graded in 2000/01 without all being noted as Mass.copies on the label. My Adventure 300 was bought from Marnin in 2001, CGC graded and it had a green circular sticker on the outside of the case so I have assumed it is a Mass. copy. No certificates were issued with any of my books from the collection. As far as I know only a sticker on the Mylar ever indicated a book to be Massachusetts. Someone needs to ask Marnin. I lost contact with him a long time ago. Interesting, good to know. That of course is one major explanation at the lack of Adventures from the traditional pedigrees surfacing--they're buried in raw form in collections and not flipped every 6 months like Marvels are.

Aman619 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Earlier it was mentioned why so few LSH covers after 300. Didn’t the covers alternate issue by issue — Superboy then LSH — until the legion took over ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The Legion has a lot of crossovers outside of Adventure, here are a couple I really like: I really wish I had looked for a super nice copy of this book, it’s a favorite or mine: 1950's war comics and TheWatcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t the covers alternate issue by issue — Superboy then LSH — until the legion took over ? You'd think so, right? But that's way too rational. Here's the first 10 covers. So after the big fanfare of #300, DC proceeded to have 8 covers featuring the same old same old. 300 Legion 301 Superboy 302 Legion 303 Superboy 304 Superboy 305 Superboy 306 Superboy 307 Legion 308 Superboy 309 Superboy 310 Superboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 This thread has suddenly died! Did my detailed analysis of Adventure 300-310 covers put everyone to sleep? My next Adventure isn't until 312. What can I say, I've always been a failure as a completist. I've posted it already, but just to maintain the sequential order. Tough tough book in high grade, Toth copy, yada yada yada.

Silver Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Geez Tim, that 312 is unreal. One of may all time favorite issues! And no, your analysis didn't put anyone to sleep. I find it hard to post anything meaningful at work, and even harder to get online at home! I really wish a Marvel guy would take a look at this thread, and say, I need to give the legion a try, and read a couple of the two-parters or classic early issues we have discussed. These were such fun stories to read! They aren't Lee and Kirby good, but they were very good, very fun. I cant stop thinking that describes them best. Ok, do we need a 309? Not Tim quality, but a nice copy. Edited August 9, 2018 by Silver 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) A total left turn here, but why isn't the issue that Superman's Kryptonian name is revealed for the first time a big deal? The name Kal-El is so iconic to the Superman stories, and yet the issue it first occurred isn't even broken out in the guide?

Aman619 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I always was put off by Forte’s drawing. A bit stiff for my eyes. Of course, like I misremembered the Legion covers, maybe Forte started much later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a quirky style, but his flying walking Superman was always very powerfully drawn. But his women were similar to Ditko in that they all looked similar, and a bit weird. I meant Forte, the Legion artist in the 300s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
