I posted this as a Cigar a few weeks ago, but this thread is the rightful home for slaying iron monsters.

My personal favorite cover of the Golden Age. (worship)  Wonderworld # 7 ranks up there also.

my #1, too.

Agreed. Wonderworld #7 holds a special place for me, but I could stare at the spectacular detail and line work on Fantastic #3 until the cows come home! Just astounding. No wonder that Eisner complained that Lou Fine always took too long to deliver the goods. But what goods they were! :angel:

I kept telling them we needed to send the solid state robots to take on Samson.  But, no, they had to go all cheap and send these relics!

I don't know what kind of person would pay so much for a really nice looking copy of a book that seems to virtually never come up to market (shrug)B|

I have become much more comfortable with restored books when it comes to the books that are just never available. Having a great looking 8.0 Larson Science 2 with some ct and a Mystery Men 10 7.5 with some work done I am perfectly happy. If Berk can enjoy those kinds of books I think I can. I had a pretty nice copy of this book before that I parted company with for 20k so getting this one for $4500 felt kinda cheap.

 

I simply love the fact that most people treat resto books like the plague.  Especially when it's just color touch, or a little glue.  You're telling me because some company (which clearly never makes mistakes) puts a different color label on something, it's worth a fraction of the same book that looks way worse?  I hope that mentality continues.

I am pretty happy with it, many of these books fall into the "take what you can get" category, for me at least.

Great book.  I was in on it for a while.

This book in any grade is worth having. Mystery Men # 7 has always been a rare/scarce book that's for sure. I bought my copy 15 years ago maybe more.
