VintageComics Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Plus, its part of my favorite unrecognized subset of SA keys to attempt to amass: The Lee/Kirby effort to establish plainclothes ordinary-looking heroes to go with their "real world" problems: I define this subset as the Amazing Adventures issues with Dr. Droom, FF #1 & 2, TTA #27, Two-Gun Kid #60, the first couple of Strange Tales Torch stories..am I missing anything? You can lump in the Kirby Challengers of the Unknown if you're ambitious. I don't know if the actual intent was much Lee/Kirby trying to establish plainclothes heroes as much as the transition was still happening from monster and Sci-Fi era to costumed heroes and they hadn't gotten there yet. The ordinary problems for sure, but once the costumed hero appeared nothing else compared. That's probably the main reason why Fury and Westerns didn't flourish the way Spidey etc. did. But I will agree with you that any $0.10 and circle $0.12 Marvel is about as cool as it gets for collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Doesn't Brulato have all the keys in the highest grades? So the other 9.4 must be his copy. Schmell used to own a 9.4. Does anyone know is the Comiclink copy was his? Of course if I'm right about Brulato, the second question is moot isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 It's not a book known for its cover colors, but yours seems very good in that regard. My copy's brown is much more faded. Congrats! FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I hadn't noticed, then I looked up at the previous one in the thread, one of the two 9.4's, and thought huh? But after scrolling through a few fellow mortal copies I see what you mean with both the browns and greens. You see this variation with the green monster on FF#1 too. Reminds me of the range of variance on my favorite mid-60's Marvel cover color, that deep purplish hue on DD7, IM1, ST135, Shield 1, etc. Dark, glossy copies look like they are still wet off the press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
