I presume this dates from the late 1940s or '50s, when other publishers were indulging in all these taboos. 

Thanks for sharing. Good to see some actual insider memorabilia.

Mayer stopped editing in 1948 as I believe, so no later than that. Many of these actions could be found in comics going back to the late 1930s, including DC in its early days.

I took some new group photos of my All Star Comics #1-#57 as well as the reincarnated Bronze Age All Star Comics #58-#74 (I know they’re not Golden Age but where else are you going to see All Star Comics #1-#74?)

Nice I sure had fun following this thread when originally posted. Those seventies All Stars were great books; I bought them all off the stands and looked forward to them coming out; that was a fun era in comics for DC.

Some incredible work done on my All Star Comics #33. It went from a 4.5 to a 6.5!

All Star Comics #28-Cover by Martin Naydel and Gardner Fox with the story titled “The Paintings That Walked the Earth”. 

A 20th century parchment relates that explorers of the ruins of Nu Yuk 10,000 years in the future and discover six sealed jars and a sign “Danger! Do Not Open!-The Justice Society”. Artist Nel Farrow finds jars of ancient Atlantean paint and learns that anything pained with it, comes to life at night, to act for good or evil, depending on the artist’s intentions. Farrow paints pictures of six men that he hates. Repenting on his death bed, he asks the JSA to prevent their murders. The JSA do this and then flee with the blank canvases from which painted figures emerged and the “paint-beings” are compelled to follow. The heroes scrape the indestructible paint off the canvases, Green Lantern’s ring seals it in the jars, and Wonder Woman writes the tale for the ages. In 12,000 A.D., the site’s discoverers leave the jars unopened. I have mixed feelings about this story but I guess as a kid in the 40’s, it might have been enjoyable. 

My All Star Comics #28 came in a night of wins at Comic Link along with issues #13 and #29 back in 2018. When all three of the books arrived, I was very happy with the #13 which was a nice 6.0 but regretting my purchases of #28 and #29. My #28 is a good 4.5 but at the time I bought it, there were no others to be found and I would have preferred a higher-graded book. Now there are several available and perhaps sometime in the future I will put it up for sale. Issue #29 was a 6.0 but I was very disappointed with it when it arrived. I will write more about it when I review issue #29.

Today a beautiful 🥰upgrade arrived for All Star Comics #28. It’s a Promise Collection Pedigree, the first one in my personal collection. White pages too! 🙃
