I finally got one.... It goes with my other two. You don't buy any books for well over half a year, then 2 come along at once!! This arrived today to go with my recent HT 6. It's not in the highest of grades I know, but it's decent enough for me. I've owned two or three of these in the past (in better grades) but sold them on the Boards, and then almost immediately regretted it. This one is going nowhere, and I was happy to snag one to keep 'cos this book is always on the up. Larryw7, Point Five, gino2paulus2 and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites

I have slowly begun to rebuild a small but cool Fawcett block of books again. This book has always been a grail. Love at first sight when i was a hardcore Fawcett guy, but, it always seldom seemed to come up, and when it did, it was what i felt was 'too high' for it at the time, or something else that appeared to be a once in a lifetime opportunity came along. Sometimes it was vacation time, lol. Anyway, finally nailed down a copy this year. Will certainly make my top year end pick up posts Classic cover ALL DAY An 8.0 cover in a 4.0 slab! Just love that "SHAZAM" girl. Super congrats. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the colors on this copy made the decision to not let this one getaway. I'd take 4.0's like this all day! Zolnerowich 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gadzukes Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I bought this "O Globo" Brazilian comic juat to get this awesome Subby back cover. January 1942. So this came out between Submariner comics 4 & 5. I think it's original art to this comic. Has anyone seen this image on a US comic? Larryw7, Spyder!, gino2paulus2 and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Straw-Man Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) when i realized there was a boiled-crawfish cover, and a mile high to boot, there was little doubt it would be coming to cajun country [please don't tell me they're boiled lobsters; trust me it's equivocal enuff for my purposes].
