Hit Comics with a nice Reed Crandall cover. Watch out for those heartless sirens!

I'm not sure she's heartless so much as she's in a heaping helping of trouble.

I really didn’t get into comics (other than Peanuts) until the early 90’s and I remember one book standing out above all others to me in the Gerber Photojournals. For 27 years I’ve wanted one book but every time one would come around (which wasn’t often) I would just miss it or not be in a place to buy it.  Anyway, I finally have it and am OK with it even as a PLOD. This is my Action 1 or Detective 27.

It is the only book of the 100 I set out to get when I got back in comics around 5 years ago that I haven’t had...until now. :acclaim:

I'm glad you got one i know it it feels to be on the hunt for so long.That book in any form is awesome because most mom's wouldn't let you buy it with a cover like that :applause:

Rick: super congrats!!! The book presents great! I know how much you wanted to land this grail, and am psyched that you’ve made it happen. From one comic book junkie to another, I’m proud for you!

So what’s going to be your encore?

Wonderful book and looks good as it is.  But I wonder whether it might be worth doing some further resto to spruce it up? hm

Major congrats on a major grail landed by a major collector!!

No encore, that was the curtain call right there.

Hey Rick. Haven't been in GA for a few days and saw this. Congrats! In my opinion, the book to have if you are a GGA collector. I had one time and foolishly sold it. Been sorry ever since. One of my top 5 books. Try to hang on to it for a little while...:baiting:
