I cannot check my copy right now, but doesn't Ross Andru art that issue? Yep with Romita providing the cover |

I mentioned earlier that I ordered Detective Comics #416 (with a Man-Bat story written and drawn by Frank Robbins, a Batgirl backup, and some old reprints, including a Rex the Wonder Dog story that's set in a circus!) and The Incredible Hulk #160 featuring Tiger Shark. That order came today! I didn't mention earlier that I got an old issue of Action Comics. My nephew's 13th birthday is coming up and, as he's a Supergirl fan, I got a low-grade copy of Action #296, with a Supergirl backup, an early appearance of Lena Thorul, Lex Luthor's sister. I was planning on getting my nephew an issue of Action with Supergirl on the cover, but I came across Action #296 at the right price while browsing eBay.  LOOK AT THAT! "THE INVASION OF THE SUPER-ANTS!" It's one of many Action covers that I've seen over the years that make you go "I have to read that to see how that scene could ever actually happen!" So I got some good stuff for the weekend. I thought the highlight would certainly be "The Invasion of the Super-Ants!" But after flipping through these issues, I think the highlight is very likely to be Rex the Wonder Dog. The title of the story is "Rex - Circus Detective!" and it's written by Robert Kanigher with art by Alex Toth and Sy Barry. |

I have read any All-Winners... I have to get those sometime. My first couple purchases of 2016... I got two issues of Iron Man I need (#59 and #73)... both were pretty high grade for the $9 I paid... this one is pic worthy... actual Carl Barks! I think this may now be the oldest comic I own (Dec. 1960)... I have one beat of Superman from around then, not sure the year. It's a classic too... Scrooge finds the Fountain of Youth:  From the same seller... I was able to make my cover contest dreams come true....I'm hoping to get the other 4 at some point soon! All three are great stories.. I think 5 was my favorite though.. the guy in shadow is... Sergio Argones! (And yes, he wrote the issue)  |

How different was Mike Sekowski's style on that All Winners Squad compared to his JLA work?
Those Bat Lash issues look cool. I like the cover on #4 quite a bit.

Got some books recently after some great recommendations from a fellow member.    Nice books but I hate the covers. |

I love the bold title on the Bat Lash books. Titles (how they look) have really been catching my eye lately. |

I have those. (Sub-Mariner is my MOST favorite of the Silver Age Marvel superhero Books.) Fixed that for you. Subby is great, Cooper. You will love those Tales to Astonish! |
