Popular Post PennFarms Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 I picked this up a long time ago, but wanted to show it off. I'm planning to eventually send this off for a screening for pressing/cleaning then a slab. Beautiful copy that I picked up for a song at a farm auction in Centre Hall, PA.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 Wow, awsome book! Classic Joker cover. I love comic hunting in PA. Have found some killer books there like these in an antique store. Only 4 books the lady had. Told me they came from a farmhouse clean out. I about lost it when she told me how much they were...

Popular Post szav Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 Yep...this one again, a new best copy for me of one of my favorite books, with off-white/white pages that you pretty much never ever see on high grade Harvey file/warehouse copies. I'd be inclined to think this one got an easy/lazy grader if I hadn't had so many of my recent Harvey subs for pristine looking books come back 8.5 with light tan pages. bounty_coder, gino2paulus2, Hutch88 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how much you love that issue. Every ounce of salacious as their classic Horror covers are gruesome. szav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gino2paulus2 Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Picked up a cool little DC book!! It’s no secret I love the film reel Harvey’s as do many other folks. This one is super cool imo and has a first app too of Evil Star (not as we know him now) but still he makes the cover which is neat. Love the simplistic yet dynamic image of Wonder Woman and her lasso and that film strip is sweet!!🥰!!

Oh man, I love it!! Great grab! I was watching that one closely on CC, but had to preserve my resources for a different gem.

When you compare Jerry Siegel's Superman in Action #1 with anything else here, it's striking how far ahead of his time he was. There are neat books here for sure, but fairly disposable stuff... nothing with the drama, the wit and the true cliffhanger ending of that first Superman story. I would've been back for issue #2 for sure! Larryw7, Gotham Kid and piper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've been back for issue #2 for sure! Though comics don't have to have drama to be good, I will admit that by May, 1938, many of those comic books were definitely a reflection of the emphasis on humor the newspaper comics had, unless they were something like DickTracy, Mandrake the Magician, or the Phantom. Popeye was probably Superman's closest comparison in terms of being a superhuman who gained strength from an everyday source (who also wears blue, red, and yellow and had cartoons animated by Fleischer Studios). Also worth noting is that Dell Comics' The Comics #8 had a Buck Rogers-esque feature by Paul H. Jepsen called Rod Rian of the Sky Police, which stands out in a largely humor-focused issue.
