G.A.tor Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) If you could only keep 5 books My previous attempt seems to have disappeared?? So if at first you don't succeed, try, try again...

Primetime Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 tough tough question to answer for me...first 3 are easy, but there would be a fight for the last 2 spots.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstances Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 it would have to be the five most valuable (i guess?), i have some faves that wouldn't crack the top 20 dollar-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Difficult question, Rick. Surprised to see the "answer man" actually asking a question. Not sure I even have an easy answer. I know Action #2 would be in the list (my all time favorite cover) After that it would be difficult to choose between the Early Actions I like (for example #5), with those worth $$$$ (for example #7 and #10). I know I would also want to keep my B&W If the Devil Would Talk. The thread title said "5 books", but then I see you narrowed it down to just GA. This helps as I have 1 or 2 SA that might otherwise take up spots in the top 5 must keeps. Not sure this answers the question, but it is the best I can do without more serious consideration.

Action 2 and If the Devil Would Talk (B&W) would still make the list. May make picking the other 3 a little easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red84 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Out of my small collection I have 4 that would make my keeper list: Superman 14, Special Edition Comics 1, Captain Marvel Adventures 4, and Brick Bradford 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 I found it almost impossible to pick my top 5...hence, I asked what others would choose... and I kept it golden age since this is the GA forum Zolnerowich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Adam Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 if I could only keep five (the on a desert island scenario), I'd make my choice based on the Golden Age comics that had the best tales inside, not necessarily the best covers. Not having read a lot of Golden Age comics (other than a few reprints), I don't have a top five, but I'd be curious to know how many of the comics selected so far actually have great stories inside (in addition to their amazing covers).
