What was your LAST GA purchase in this lousy year? 3 3

[Jayman]

Posted this elsewhere, last for 2020. Never thought my collecting interests would lead me to Little Lulu!  What a long, strange trip it’s been!

This cover is kind of ironic. Didn't Wonder Woman's creator invent the lie detector?

I can't remember if he invented it, or just developed an early version of it. 

Regardless, William Martson was a really interesting guy. I read all about him years ago.

This one for me. I had a pretty mediocre year collecting, but I'm still glad to get this beaten up but strongly-coloured specimen.

[circumstances]

I'm still buying like a fiend!

 

There's still 16 days left!

 

Who knows what the last 2020 purchase will be?

If this arrives by Dec 31st it will probably be my last GA book of the year.  I'm starting to doubt it will get here on time though.  Xmas mail seems to be enormous...and the seller sent it media mail...

I know you're looking for pumpkin covers, but if you like LuLu you gotta find one of these before it gets too expensive...

I was wrong about my first post in this thread being my last purchase. Just received this:

My last GA book for 2020

My last GA for the year. Excuse the lousy photo.

These two were my last this year. Pedigrees to boot!

I have some books on ComicConnect that will be won in 2020 (they just don't know it yet), but this is probably my last GA book in hand for the year.  Grades 9.2 in the other guy's plastic:

What pedigree?

And then there was this one...

At one time, this book was up in price along with the big boys Like Action #1 and Detective #27. Rick Durell and a couple older guys in my area had copies and they were treated with great reverance. It blew my young teen age mind. One day at Ricks house, I was allowed to hold and look through it as well as Action #1, Detective #27 and many other big keys. Took my breath away.

What a cover! Classic pose and hero battling an adversary. Not a super hero mind you but the image and face to face determination is just classic GA. I love the jungle green colors. And Hogarth adventure art for 68 pages. A masterpiece of comic book history.

Never really sought one out. Never really recalled seeing many of them. I'm not really a Tarzan comic guy anyway. I may have 3 in my collection. But this one is special. I have often drooled at @MrBedrock's beautiful copy. Just staring at the image and the color. Never really thought I would get one. This one turned up with nice color in acceptable shape for a real decent price so I snagged it. It arrived last night safely in my mail box.

Added bonus is the inside back cover. The United Features premium ad. Super rare early comic book premiums. I have had the Junior Flying Legion badge for years. I knew what it was but never seen the ad for it. The Spinners are un-godly rare. I had the Bronco Bill one. A lucky ebay purchase a couple years back. Hakes has had the Tarzan one a couple times and never seen the Capt. and Kids one. And then there are the United Features bound volumes sold at the World's Fair. Never seen one of them either...

So, I figure, this is a good one to go out on...

 

Hi Bob,

Here's the Capt. & Kids spinner:

My example has a shallow dent at 2:00 but it's the only one I've ever seen.  I have never run across your Broncho Bill example - very cool!

Last purchase of the year will be my two pickups from the ComicConnect auction tonight, but they likely won’t arrive until 2021. This was the most recent purchase in hand that I can recall (and a very underrated key!)

[Daveb25]

Won’t be here before the new year but my last purchase is likely a page 2 from Action Comics 1

Wow, cool! Never seen it. I figure if anyone would have one, you would. Thanks for posting it!

This book was my last purchase of the year
