I like the Adventure Comics that have a real '50s feel to them and a mystery cover rather than a perilous one.

Here is a recent buy, from a more whimsical era of Adventure Comics. The story is not so fantastical as the cover suggests. The Rip Van Winkle character has not magiacally been asleep for twenty years but rather been in a coma. 
NIce buy. Love the colors especially the DC yellows!

Is that a Win Mortimer cover? I like his stuff. Nice books Ian, those are rarely seen.

Yes, both the #203 and #205 are the distictive style of J Winslow. He was pencilling some great covers in the early '50s, especially, in my opinion, the Batman titles.

Here's a mid-1950s Adventure. It holds a special meaning for me. I bought it at the Shrine show here in Los Angeles, Calif. from Alan and Gary's Comics. Unfortutunaley, Gary passed away from cancer at a young age. He always gave me fair prices. This book looks real nice in the new mylar which I bought at Wonder Con from E. Gerber Products.

Still working on my legion run. Here's a bunch I picked up in a recent Heritage auction. A few upgrades, but mostly filling holes in my run.

My understanding is that he inked his own covers. I do agree that he did especially well with the Batman titles.
