jimjum12 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Noticed I only needed 2 or 3 more to complete the run, so I spent the summer hitting shows/cons/flea markets and then finally resorted to MCS to finish this off: I know, it's the perennial cellar dweller of the PHM titles, but it was a fun spring/summer venture. And yes, the rug really ties the room together. -bc I LOVE that picture!!! Great set!!! I hope one day I can post a similar picture!!! ..... there was this Clint Eastwood movie, "Fist Full Of Dollars"...... GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 2, 5, 6, and 13 are some really sharp covers from the pre-Kirby period. 5 is especially cool at full size. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Hope you have as much fun as I did! Issues 2 & 7 were the most difficult to find in a presentable grade. The number 7 I snagged has the coupon ripped off the back cover (guess they didn't have easy access to scissors in 1957). Plenty of 5's in decent shape out there - I selected a supposedly Circle 8 per Metropolis documentation during one of their sales for a little over $100 : The rest aren't that hard to find online for under $50. Warning: shows/cons yielded very few additions to the run as this isn't a very popular title for dealers to lug around (heard that a lot when talking with them). The toughest part is trying to find copies where the whole "World of Fantasy" was readable under the Atlas logo - this title seems to commonly suffer from cover wrap issues. Good luck, enjoy and I can't wait to see the results! -bc Edited July 31, 2016 by bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Here's a PHM that kind of started the Marvel Universe...... well, it does have the first post Atlas attempt at a Super Hero in Dr. Droom...... many parallels to what would eventually be Dr. Strange.
