I debated not including this one, as I already posted it once on the appreciation thread, but when it comes to GGA, this just seems to fit.

 

Sorry for the poor photo quality on this one and the Excitings. I am NOT a photographer (as you can see)!

Absolutely beautiful copies.

 

Yeah they're all really square and clean and bright and flat looking. Also nice choices from each run. (incidentally, is that a photo and if so how did you take it? Or is it scans cropped and photoshopped over a background?)

So *that* is why I can't find an upgrade.... Nice... If you're going to hoard one issue, you picked a winner. (I love your Exciting run too.)

Doohick - what's the book on the top left, above the Torchys?

That's an Australian title called Jane -- "the famous 'OOMPH!' girl!". Unfortunately the way I arranged the photos doesn't showcase it very well at all. It's a 1950s-era comic but the interior is printed in black-and-white. Her character is kind of Brenda Starr-ish if memory serves, and might have been based on strips from an Australian newspaper (not sure but if I have a chance I'll look it over again). I've only seen copies once or twice. Maybe 8 years ago (my memory is spotty) somebody eBay-auctioned issues from a large run. I was lucky enough to get one of them. Some of the best ones (that is, the most excellent GGA covers) went for big bucks and I was outbid.

Thanks for the compliments from everyone. It's just a photo on a table.

To clarify, the reason I asked is that the image is so perfectly squared, with the comics on top being practically the exact size as the ones on the bottom. It's as if you took the photo while zoomed in from standing on a ladder or something. Anyway, whatever -- cool books.
