rjpb Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 What about the 15 to 25 cents jump GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) My allowance had jumped from 25 to 50 cents that summer, so it wasn't that bad for me. A few months later I got my first paper route and suddenly I could buy all the comics I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) .10..... There was once a comic shop called Passport in L.A., and the owner was like a side show barker...one time he put up a wall full of Supe 123s and told everyone it was a rare issue. He had at least 20 of them on the wall. Maybe he cornered the market on them... Earl was something else... Another time he put up a wall of Dave Stevens books...and was asking $15 to $25 apiece (this was in like 1988). I drove around and found all the issues in other shops for 25 cents each...

Silver Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Here's a new one for me, always liked this Curt Swan cover: too bad about the picture Lana is bustin over Superboys head, she's had it a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I've always loved this cover, and stumbled across a pretty decent copy on eBay that wasn't too ungodly expensive....... so it's going into my small stack of 10 cent D.C.'s that I am very unmotivated to ever sell. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) D.C. PURPLE I knew I had a copy of Superboy 79 also. I agree, it's a keeper. Always loved the cover. Here's my copy with a couple 10 friends...... .... thanks, Bob. I sometimes poke fun at D.C. collectors, but I'm actually one myself..... just not runs. I've always been especially drawn to the grey tones and would love to one day have an example from each run that had them. A very comprehensive list was attempted by some industrious boardies for the war genre..... but I would love to find an easily accessible list of the non war books, as Gerber is sorely lacking for D.C.'s of this era. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Anyone else out there who is a Superboy 79 fan, Worldwide just listed a decent CGC 8.5 a couple days ago....... and also a Superboy 80 in the same grade...... the 80 is driving me nuts with temptation, but I just can't afford it right now.... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Jimbo, There are a couple of other Superboy issues from that same time frame that have great covers, particularly because of the combination of colors on them. Take a look at 67, 74 and 78. I would love to get an upgrade of the 78. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
