That is a great group shot and makes me wonder if the dyes used in the GA were different than now. The yellow covers on Looney Tunes, Hit, and Star Spangled just leap of the page!

PopKulture Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) All these books were part of an OO collection I got years ago. I've scanned a bunch of them individually, and some I recently pulled out of the boxes that I brought them home. The books were well read and many of them were lower grade copies so naturally I culled the better ones in stages and left the marginal stuff in the boxes. It's always fun to go diving into your own boxes of unsorted stuff that you almost forgot about! p.s. Whenever I see a group shot, I almost always pick my favorites as if I was allowed to take home one per row, or one of four as in the old Overstreet color sections where I honed my skills at this game as a kid. So if you see anything interesting, tell us which one(s) you would pick and why. Edited August 1, 2017 by PopKulture Senormac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could magically send me a duplicate of one from each row....the Suspense cover from the top row jumps out at me, Gotta go bondage in the center, and from the bottom I'll say Super Magician because I have none and they always look so cool when I see them. Lots of underrated Street and Smith, IMHO. But I am also tempted to say Monster 1 because it looks like an upgrade over my rough copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early editions had the choicest books, while the later ones started to include more obscure gold and eventually more silver and bronze. OS 6 starts off with Action 1, Adventure 61, All-American 16 and All-Star 4. How's THAT for a line-up? As for my picture, I think you nailed it - at least as I see it. Looking at the bottom row, I guess the DeCarlo guys might like that Irma, and Walt Kelly fans might prefer the Easter Parade. The True Secrets has an Everett cover and there's even a Kurtzman for the EC fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least four of those books I recall from the O'Brien book, The Golden Age of Comic Books: the Mystery Men, the awesome Green Giant, the Hit 9 and the Wonderworld. And no doubt the Tecs, the SS, the LT1 and the other Hit are right at home. Edited August 3, 2017 by PopKulture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently purchased a copy of Amazon pretty cheap. It has some of the best GA covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My game with the 4 comic pages was keep 1, sell 1, and give 2. (I had a list of 14 comic savvy friends/acquaintances) FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding giving two of four away, you are way more altruistic than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopKulture Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I recently picked these up from a friend who, for whatever reason, likes to purge some of his stuff every now and then. I think it's a fun variety of stuff. Inaflash, Senormac and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster, 'cause its sweet and All Great 'cause it's cool and fairly rare and I'd go to the Irma and skip row two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Robinson redid that Detective 69 cover in the group shot. I think everyone would have been happy if he added the Joker to the original.
