Great interview really informative. Cap #1 was awesome. Motion picture weekly funnies book and stories was great. The show was fantastic!! Loved it!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Unbelievable collection shown by your guest(s)! I think the highest point of his show & tell was the Motion Pictures Weekly Funnies, which I knew pre-dated Subby app in Marvel #1, but I never saw one being handled "live" by a seller or auction house. Believe it or not, for years, it's been one of my fantazied eBay searches. In rare hits, ebay will find something not even close. Lol! Congrats on probably being the only YTer channel to show this super rare holy grail book!! Great vid 😃🫡👊
Allan, great job having your guest show these incredibly rare golden age comics. Love the content and the explanation of the motion picture weekly comic. Something new to look for. Thank you for sharing, awesome
Alan, last week you asked what you could do better, my answer is just keep doing what you have been doing! That was one fantastic show and leave it to you to locate this guy to feature on your video to provide interesting and informative content!
As a big Submariner fan I really hate these guys. To be only 26 and to have those books. Damn. But great job finding these guys. These are your best guests yet.
How do you tier these books that are more grail than grail books! It’ll be interesting to see others he has and the stories behind them. Nice interview.
@@ComicCollectorGeek Well, although "Prince Lothar" initially began in "comic strips", he still demonstrated feats of heroism and is considered a "black hero" that actually predates Voodah. But what makes Voodah even more significant is that not only was he an actual creation of Matt Baker, but Voodah is actually the very first "black hero" to have his very own "feature story" in a comic book, (Crown Comics #3, 1945).
@@ComicCollectorGeek That's awesome! So do I. I actually have both Crown Comics #3 and Jumbo Comics #69. I have a pretty nice size Matt Baker collection that I have been collecting for years. The interesting thing about collecting historically black books is that certain qualifiers like ("heroes, etc") creates certain nuances that makes it more difficult to list them in their proper place in history. For example, many people will say that "Lobo", (Dell Comics 1965) is the first black to have his own comic book "title", but that's actual NOT true. During the early 50s when it was extremely uncommon to see positive black characters represented in comics - black athletes like Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe, Larry Doby, and even Joe Louis all had their very own "comic book title" in 1950. Now they were not considered "heroes" from a traditional "hero comic" standpoint, but they were indeed heroes in comics - especially considering that "Negro Heroes #1 and #2, which were published in the late 1940's, showcased not only Jackie Robinson, but other black athletes, as well as black doctors, educators, etc. The very first black character to have his very own comic book title was actually "Pore Lil Mose" (1902), during the Platinum Age. It was a horizontal comic book (similar to Best Comics #1, but much larger in size). It is recognized as a comic book not only by comic historians, but also by university libraries, and museums. As a matter of fact you can go to Hake's Auctions and see a past sale listed under "comic books" and it was also ranked among the five most valuable Platinum Age comics by Overstreet several years ago. Well, this post is getting long. I enjoy your channel and another great video as always. Streyflexin and I have had a few conversations in the past, and I absolutely LOVE how he collects. He's an AMAZING collector! Cheers!
@@blackkeycomics1120 Thanks again for all the info. I was familiar with the sport starts and Negro comics which are currently out of my price range but all great books to someday own. If you ever want to come on this channel to discuss these comics it would be a pleasure to have you on the show. Contact me on IG if you are interested.
RED MASK Is NOT the first African Super-Hero in comics. Red Mask first appeared in comic strips as a white hero, but most importantly if you actually read the book, it states that he is Pacific Islander in the comic book and NOT African or Black.
Very cool interview and great comics!!!!!!
Great interview, Strey is one of the classiest collectors out there!
He is quite impressive.
The Gods have descended from heaven all hail the golden age great interview with Streyflexin😍😍😍👍👍👍

Thanks for watching. I was super excited to hold it.
I would too. Did he tell you what it cost or was there some trade involved? 🤔
Insane books 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
great interview,💯
Awesome interview CCG. Ben Labonog told me about Streyflexin. Good to see some young blood in the old comic game.
For a young guy he has an amazing collection. Interesting to see him with his focus on the golden age.
This was a great interview, what an awesome piece of history that binded book is.
Agreed, almost should be in a museum.

Great interview and amazing books!
1st sub-mariner 😮 great to see one !
Awesome video!
Another classic interview, very entertaining.
Seeing that Vietnam bound book with the AF 15 was a treat!!!
It was pretty awesome. The story behind it really makes it cool piece of history.

Yeah they were pretty insane. I felt so honored to be able to hold them.
Red Mask is actually either Polynesian or Malaysian. It states where he is from in the actual comic book.
Cool so Voodah is the first black hero, right?

@@blackkeycomics1120 I have Crown Comics #3. Actually, a pedigree copy of it. I'm a big Matt Baker fan. I'm still looking for Jumbo 69.
