I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on Power of the Atom ... got the entire series for $13... Tossed in Amazing High Adventure (an 80s Marvel mini I've been wanted to read) and two reprint issues of Billy the Kid (from Charlton) with John Severin art to mitigate the shipping a bit

That's a series I've always been interested in, but have never gotten around to buying. The talent involved is top notch.

I read it after it got recommended in one of the 12 Days of Christmas threads a couple of years back. There's some really good stuff in there, but for me the first two issues were the strongest, with the quality tailing off in the last 3 issues. Still solid reads, but not up to the standard set in the first 2. -M

I have 13 issues of Power of the Atom. I thought it was pretty good, and wouldn't mind picking up the rest.

Trying to finish Conan the Barbarian this year and I'm trying to polish of the Barry Smith issues before Convention season.
I've picked up #2 and #5 lately in NM for about $50.00. These are inexpensive now that everyone seems to be clamoring for first appearances of third rate characters that may or may not end up in a teevee show or movie.

I FINALLY completed a huge goal of mine...the Punisher 5 issue mini from 1986 by Zeck. Dunno why this series is always tough to find and pricey as can be. For all 5 issues, I spent $40 but to have it done and have nice high grade copies is all I wanted. Pics to come! Plus some other nice stuff!

The early Starslayers were good when they had the Grell artwork. Those are big names but the material is d list. Xenozoic Tales is excellent. One of my favorite series.
The rest are of varying quality, although I really liked what little Void Indigo we got.
Gerber certainly regretted the serial's early termination. I recall that he ran a letter in COMICS BUYERS' GUIDE looking for an artist willing to take up the series again, but apparently no one took him up on it. Given the foofrah that erupted over the high level of sex and violence in the two regular-sized issues, it's unlikely the project would have proven rewarding even to a young artist hungry for quick fame. The ill reception of issues 1 and 2 would seem an ample refutation of Frank Miller's long-ago credo against advisories. If you don't provide such advisories when you veer into edgy territory, you piss off your distributor and lose your shot at getting your concept out there in some form (unless your name happens to be Frank Miller, I guess).

Bought a few books yesterday and these are the more classic of the bunch. That Thor annual with Mephisto and Big John doing full pencils is killer.

Ok. This one isn't as old as Action Comics #16, but this one completes an important run in my collection. This was the last DC book I needed from the 1960s! I now have an unbroken run of every DC comic from 1960-2010 including all genres, imprints, variants, and collection editions.

I think it was a matter of bad timing. If the book had come out a few years later, it wouldn't have made much of a ripple. It's sort of like DC pulping Rick Veitch's Swamp Thing issue featuring Jesus in a respectful manner, then publishing Preacher a few years later. The climate had changed.
In any event, Gerber would revisit a lot his ideas for the book in Nevada and Hard Time, both of which were excellent.
