Couldn't make it past the comic show without stopping in and spending all the money I had on me. I limited myself to Atom and Aquaman issues this time. Here are my favorite covers out of the 15 or so comics I grabbed.

Aquaman #2:
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3009/2680964637_b0b20d26ce_o.jpg[/img]

Aquaman #44 (I love this cover. Especially the evil villains, who have cut off Aquaman's thighs and reattached his calves directly to his groin. Diabolical!):

What's the name of the comic store?

RE: My recent arrivals

Speedy-D — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:38:28 GMT

I got a few more from this comic shop in the city. If any of you come to NYC let me know. This place is fantastic, the owner is exactly the kinda guy you want running a comic store. He loves old comics and is more than willing to offer a great deal on a stack of cool stuff. Really, let me know if you're in town. You don't want to miss this place.

Brave And The Bold #54 (first Teen Titans):

Speedy-D — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:26:32 GMT

Okay, I have a problem. Hi, my name is Speedy and I'm a Silver Age DC-aholic.

I got a few more from my this great store in NYC yesterday. The owner just bought a collection of DC Silvers and gave me first crack at them. He also gave me a ridiculous deal on the ones that I wanted most, something like 40 - 60% off of CPG list. Here are my favorite colors from yesterday's batch.

Aquaman #40 ( another sweet Cardy cover, I'm really learning to appreciate him):
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3078/2618356908_949fc86f49_o.jpg[/img]

The Atom #16 (think this pre-dates the first appearance of Iron Man ;)):
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/2617534125_0914bed603_o.jpg[/img]

Green Lantern / Green Arrow #77:
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3161/2618356874_aae7175e84_o.jpg[/img]

Green Lantern / Green Arrow #85:
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3080/2617533937_a8f5a6ccc6_o.jpg[/img]

I also got an almost perfect GL/GA #86, but I've never been so crazy about that cover. And he has a #76 that he's holding for me until I scrape up the cash, at a very nice price. It's much more beat up than the two above, but the greens are beautiful.

Nice books, Speedy!! I really love that Spectre and Flash. (Brave and the Bold). I have that one myself.

RE: My recent arrivals

Speedy-D — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 19:18:39 GMT

Yeah, I think my scanner gets the colors off sometimes, or the contrast maybe. It's on its way out really.

batfan — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:37:22 GMT

Speedy-D — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:06:04 GMT

Well, I've been taking a break from buying back issues, to recoup after blowing a wad on Flash 105, 123, and a couple others. But I went over to this awesome comic store in Manhattan today and couldn't pass up a great deal on some old Atom and Green Lantern comics, plus Superman 233. Here are a few of my favorite covers from the lot.

The Atom #4:

[quote][b]batfan (6/2/2008)[/b][hr]why does the slab say pga not pgx? it looks kinda funny.[/quote]

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. But took a good look at the comic and decided it was worth the money to me, even if there was something weird about the PGA thing. But as I suspected, PGA is just an old name for PGX.

RE: My recent arrivals

KingOfRulers — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 11:11:59 GMT

Before PGX was PGX, it was PGA...and before that they were called CGG.

I got this one yesterday, which leaves me three issues short of the full run: 106, 108, 112.
