SA Adventure Comics Collectors Thread

6 6

Steve's quick estimate was that the 2nd copy was a 3.0 and the nicer copy was 5.5 and could press to a 6.5, but this was a few years ago.

 

I just looked at the comiclink listings, and I think my copy looks way better than the 7.0 closing later today.

 

 

I don't know what the back cover looks like, but the front cover scan of your nicer copy is stunning.

+1 looks nicer than a 7.0

Was surprised to win this, very happy about it though considering ebay prices!

very nice

..... with Zod being a constant in the Superman mythos, my opinion is that this book is still available, for some reason, at reasonable prices. GOD BLESS...

Nice copy. I am scanning my recently reunited portons of my collection . Started with dc2 and adventure, but not until 290s. My tracking says I am complete from 277 u til after the legin ended and on until 387. Still not positive I have this book.

Finally uploaded the first batch of my SA Adventures. probably 90% overlap with the LSH

here are a few of my non LSH Adventures

Keep them coming great books

Since this thread has popped back up, thought I'd post a couple new ones for me.

Picked these up in Baltimore from the infamous Richie Muchin:

The 258 is a hard one to find in any grade.Probably because it contains Jack Kirby Green Arrow and is a high demand book. Would very much like one myself.

Great pickup!

Yes, very nice gotta love those purple covers

Picked these up in 1965 and 1966 off the stands for 12 cents each...I have no idea how I took such good care of them...

And a few more from the same time:

That's some good reading there!

You know, it doesn't get much attention these days, but the death of Ferro Lad in Adventure #353 was a pretty big deal when it was released.

A super hero? Dying? At DC?

I know...that's almost as bad as killing someone's girl friend over at Marvel a few years later...

Before the advent of Internet sales, Adventure #353 seemed to be non existent in the NM range. So were some other issues, such as #357. The above copies are all really nice. Even more impressive that they were bought when originally published and yet survived so well. My copies from that time were read so many times and moved from place to place. No wonder they did not fare well condition wise.

Very nice beautiful books

So when exactly did the SA start for Adventure?

Here are a few of my Pre LSH Adventures. these are NOT OO's as I did not start until 335.

.

I believe the SA started for all titles as soon as the comics code seal appeared on the covers...in 1955. At least, that's been my understanding.
