THE PARK AVENUE COLLECTION

4 4

I'm not sure, but I believe this issue of FLASH GORDON is the first with original

story and artwork...previous comics featured reprinted newspaper strips.

I remember picking this up at a Greyhound Bus Station while traveling with my parents.

I remember traveling by Greyhound to my grandparents house alone as a little kid. I always spent the money my parents gave me on comics and the occasional MAD magazine for the trip.But mine were early SA Marvels.

Great book and one you rarely see.

I love coming across a book I have had since I was little and remembering just where and when I got it...

Next two up for grading.

Thank you for your kind words...I'm sure that when I bought these books I never imagined

having them all these years later...let alone sharing them with others through the air.

I'm adding this to the group to be graded...not too sure how much they'll deduct

for the staples on the front.

Nice copy of a tough book to find.

I don't think the staple placement will affect the grade.

Nice. You just don't see a lot of these late 1940s Superboy cover issues of Adventure Comics around.

Remembering how much I always enjoyed ROBOTMAN!

Why thanks Marty. I aim to please.

Question for you. When buying your comics off the rack did you search through the pile for the best copy or did you just grab the one in front?
