Great googly moogly!!! You have one of the most amazing and interesting collections I have ever seen. So rad! Thank you for sharing your books. If you turned your house into a museum, I would 100% pay a reasonable admission to walk through.
Thank you for sharing those amazing covers. And congratulations on adding the Grundy and Chamber of Chills to your display wall. What are your top five Wonder Woman covers - but from different artists. Thank you so much appreciate your videos and content.
Hi Alan, Question…. Would you swap your entire collection for an Action Comics #1 in a grade that would be worth slightly more than what you have!!?? If not, is there a comic that you’d trade everything for?! Best wishes from the UK. 👍🏼
A loosely defined period in comics between 1946 and 1956 (roughly the end of the Golden Age of Comics) where science-fiction stories, many of them dealing with atomic power, dominated the medium of comics. The Atomic Age of Comics is one which is still argued about among comic historians. Thank you for your content.
On your September 2 livestream, you showed a CBCS 5.5 Chamber of Chills #19, am I mistaken, or did you already own a raw copy of that book? What is the most nervous you have ever been when buying an expensive comic? Thanks again as always for answering my questions.
Actually, it is technically both Golden and Atomic age. Atomic age ran from 1946 to 1955 (some say even up to 1960). Atomic age sort over lapped both gold and silver ages.
Enjoyed your picks. I wish there was a Platinum age cover as well. I know it is not technically a comic, but I would pick Weird Tales #125 for my fav. Platinum cover (of course that might be considered a "good girl" cover, even though Belit can handle her own). 😉
Hello Alan, you have a wonderful collection!How many Schomburg covers do you have?Your favourites?And do want to add some more?Personally, i like his work for Captain America.
Hi Allan, Thanks for showing your Timely/Golden Age Marvel covers--you have some great stuff! What is your take on Roy Thomas's Golden Age retroactive continuity as seen in The Invaders (Marvel) and All-Star Squadron (DC)? For instance, Thomas created a different character named Golden Girl who joined Bucky and Toro in The Kid Commandos, which was also a sort of a revamping of The Young Allies concept...but without the sterotypes. I wish that Marvel would release facsimile editions of the firt Blonde Phantom, Namora, Sun Girl, and Golden Girl as appearances. Also, are you collecting any of the Timely (or pre-Timely) pulp magazines that Martin Goodman published....like Ka-Zar no. 1 from 1936? Speaking of Bullet Man, I wish rhat DC would just start printing facsimile editions of Fawcett Comics keys that feature first appearances of key stories featuring the non-Shazam Family characters...e g Bullet Man and Bullet Girl, Spy Smasher, Ibis, Mr. Scarlet and Pinky, etc. Although, in fairness, the first Whiz Comics was reprinted recently.
Good data. What’s the atomic age of comics? The Golden Age of Comic Books describes an era in the history of American comic books from 1938 to 1956. Thank you for your content.
I'm in the group that doesn't like slabs. I like the feel and smell of the old paper. And I can actually read them if I want. What's the purpose of having a book if you can't read it other than prestige and money?

All-Star 69 is pretty expensive (Tied with DC Super-Stars 17 as first Huntress)
Sun Girl comes across as really bright. has she ever made a comeback after the Golden Age?
Thanks for answering the question, sorry I missed the answer in a previous video!

Great stuff as always! Love the Witches Tales, but that’s pre-code Golden Age (I hate being that guy, but here I am)
