jimjum12 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) No boardie is complete without starting a CLUB ...... so here's mine..... this is devoted to the Joe Kubert masterpiece of the Adventure Genre and is the first issue of Brave and Bold to feature one single character. This book..... from Board buddy BrianR.... is one of the first books that pops into mind when I'm asked which books would I never sell.

jimjum12 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 The distributor overspray kept the grade(and price...) down....... but it's tight. I got it from Brian when he was phasing out of comics..... it was once a CGC 7.5 (due to the ink)..... but presents like an 8.5/ 9.0. I've been a Viking Prince fan since the early 70's when I found a DC Special that reprinted some early episodes. There's a couple other boardies who have nice copies.... but I doubt this Club is long for the front page ...... but, hey, if anyone's bored with Superheroes ...... the first 22 issues of Brave and Bold feature Robin Hood, Silent Knight, and Viking Prince and 23 and 24 are solo Viking Prince. If you set the bar at 6.0, it can be a challenging but relatively affordable little mini run.

1950's war comics Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Sure superhero's and keys are more lucrative but comics like BB#23 are just so much cooler and seem so much harder to find... FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right On...... I went to the Kubert School many years ago...... and Joe was already one of my favorite artists of all time..... he was an awesome guy. Between the Viking Prince, Hawkman, Sgt Rock, Tarzan...... Kubert could do no wrong. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. Another Kubert book in my "permanent collection" is a solid fine copy of Showcase 25..... another non war Grey Tone favorite...... from the tight grading Bunky Brothers......

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I also discovered Viking Prince when I purchased DC Special 12 around 20 years ago. I purchased the DC omnibus when it was released (which is a great reprint by the way, they did a great job with the paper and colors for once). I have always been lurking around issues from the run at shows but never pulled the trigger because the books were a little to low grade for me. A 23 came recently up for sale here on the boards and I pulled the trigger. I purchased a 3 in the latest Clink auction and hope to add a few more issues soon.

comick1 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Here's my copy. Came from Cal Slobodian's collection: if anyone's bored with Superheroes ...... the first 22 issues of Brave and Bold feature Robin Hood, Silent Knight, and Viking Prince and 23 and 24 are solo Viking Prince. If you set the bar at 6.0, it can be a challenging but relatively affordable little mini run. (thumbs u James, having a whole thread devoted to B&B 1-23 is noble indeed! I LOVE those books!! It's essentially the war comics artists (sans Grandenetti and Drucker) working on adventure series. Here's my copy of #3 to get things started. I bought this from Harley about 23 years ago. I THINK it's the Circle-8 copy, but can't confirm. He scored it right around the time of that collection coming to light and I know that he was amongst the folks who flew out to AZ to get first crack at it. Check out the size of that CCA stamp!!!

comick1 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Beautiful copy, Danny!! What's kinda funny here is how there've been a number of really nice copies of the #23. You'd almost think the book was COMMON in high grade. . . I know better. Took me forever to find my own copy. Such a great book. You fellers have any other issues between 1-24? I wanted to wait on posting some of my other pre-#25 issues until after other people had a chance to post some copies of 1-3! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 .....they'll dry up soon..... with the days of being able to afford better material with a paycheck being long gone, people have to make tough choices and sell books to get books.... but selling a Kubert Viking Prince key is a choice I just can't make.

Silver Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Brave and the Bold 1-24 may well be my favorite set of comics ever. I hope one day to complete the run. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
