Nice pickups, Phil Maurice . If you don't mind me asking, what does a 7.5 graded Cap #117 go for these days? Just curious, because my copy is at least that, if not a little better. I hope you don't mind me chipping in there, The Captain. But here's a link of various pricing on e-bay for Captain America #117 CGC 7.5 that information in case you are interested.

The book was $270. I've had the second part of that story forever and finally got around to completing it.

sabongero & Phil Maurice - thanks for the info. I paid $140 for my copy (unslabbed) about 5 years ago, which is the third most I ever paid for a single issue. It was the last issue I need to complete the entire series, which was my Holy Grail accomplishment.

I purchased a very beat-up copy of Detective Comics #295 recently. It should be along in the mail in a few days. It was only $7.

So while browsing eBay and looking at the issues of Detective Comics from the 290s that I need, I came across a beat-up copy of Detective Comics #296. It's pretty beat up, but not nearly as beat up as the #295 I ordered recently, and it seemed like a STEAL at $9.99. So I ordered it. I should get it in a few days. I just need #297, #298 and #300 and I'll have every issue from #285 to the present.

I would love to see DC Comics to bring back the Planet Master in a more modern sense of the word -- because his "Saturn Rings" are the coolest villain weapons that I've ever seen in a Detective Comics (Batman) book! Since, you post this book/story and I remember reading (vaguely, remembered it) it and that's back in the late 70s when I first read that book/story ... and jarred my memory about it.

Not quite a comic, but I just won this in the weekly Lonestar auction... It's one of those things I have always been curious to read but never found in the wild, so I put a bid on it when I saw it in the auction. I'll probably end up adding a couple of things to the order to make the shipping less onerous (it's flat shipping no matter how much is in the order, so I spread it out over a few things). -M

funny that while I have read Kraven's Last Hunt several times I never actually owned the issues.

Ted White is still pissed at Otto Binder about it. Binder wanted to write for Marvel but didn't get the "Marvel method", so Stan wouldn't hire him. Binder went over Stan's head to Martin Goodman and got the nod to write this book. Ted was hired to write the second novel in the proposed Marvel series, but Binder's book bombed and Bantam, the publisher of the novels, had second thoughts about the whole thing. They sat on Ted's novel for over a year, and didn't do any promotion when it did come out. White's novel, Captain America: The Great Gold Steal, is a vastly superior book; if it had come out as originally planned, in the middle of the Batmania/superhero craze, it would probably have sold out and led to more books. I've owned a copy of this book since the mid-70s but I've never read it again.

The Lonestar order arrived today with my copy of the Battle of the Earth-Wrecker. I added a handful of books to the order, finishing off 2 series, both of which I thought I had completed but upon further review found I needed 1 issue of each, so I got Savage Sword of Conan #207 and Kamandi #29.
The other stuff added was a Hawkman pin, and 2 modern books that had sold out locally (Wrightson's Franenstein Alive, Alive #4, his last work before he passed was one of them).
