I think if you really wanted the book you have the means to acquire it. Sell some of your books in those jam packed boxes and throw in some cash. You could get a 4.0 maybe even a 5.0 Edited October 20, 2018 by Artboy99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I met a collector last year who'd found one two years previously for only $5K (seller didn't quite realize what he had, I think), so you never know what you'll run in to and when. I've managed to acquire 42,44,47,51,and 60, so I only need the 40 and 46. I stumbled across this 44 4.0 at a random flea market last year, with a dealer set up in a giant room otherwise full of junk. He knew what he had but I still got a fair deal, as I think it was a slow weekend for him. One of my fav books (sorry about the dark/grainy scan, it really pops in hand). I love the adventure-oriented covers too, would love a 41 and 43, and the pre-40 books are just so fun as well. But the rebooted Sandman does absolutely nothing for me. Adventure Comics is really an under-rated title, for sheer variety if nothing else, and I wonder if anyone has managed put together a run of the first hundred issues of title (including New issues)? Talk about a challenge... Ian Levine did as part of his complete DC run. I don't know if anyone else has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I like these early hero Adventures, The earliest issue I have is #57 with an Hourman cover. Here's a shot along with some interior photos. Truly an under-appreciated series. ender, aardvark88 and sacentaur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sacentaur Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2018 My partial Adventure run is decent: 36, 37, 38, 39 (the four pre-hero Flanagan covers), 40 (no back cover), 41, 42 (double cover), 43 (Larson, CGC 9.6), 44 (Nova Scotia), 45, 49 (Nova Scotia), and 50 (Central Valley). Not the most talked about books in the hobby, but Adventure epitomizes the Golden Age for me and obviously I like them a lot! piper, Sqeggs, comicdonna and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I've always liked the pulpy quality of the early Sandman, but he is a somewhat minor character, notable for the earliness of his appearance in the DC universe, and the JSA centric importance early fandom gave to DC first appearances over other many other GA books.

snitzer Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I’m totally fine w/ him staying under the radar. He’s one of the few GA characters, I love, and can collect without breaking the bank comicdonna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a life-long quest. I don't think I've seen some of those for sale... And then you would also need to include New Comics. The Sullivan covers never appealed to me, but the contents of those early DCs are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
