Your Top Ten Most Wanted Comics on DCM

[krankyboy]

Rangerhouse gets full credit for it, as a kind person is allowing him to scan their book. Anyway, I'm overjoyed that Dynamic will soon be completed. On the other hand, I'm sad that I won't be able to read any more new issues after that.  

(1) Weird Comics #20 (Fox Publications)
(2) Banner Comics #4 and #5 (complete; we've got a partial issue thanks to dsdaboss) (Ace Comics)
(3) The Eagle #1, and a complete #4 (Fox Publications) starring the Eagle and Buddy
(4) Bomber Comics 1, 2 (missing pages), and 4 complete
(5) Exciting Comics #39, 40, and 49
(6) Black Terror #1, #3, plus partial issues that need completion (Nedor)
(7) America's Best Comics #3-5, 7-9, 14-15, 25, 29 (Nedor)
(8 ) Green Mask v1 #2, #5, #8, #9 (Fox)
(9) Prize Comics; remaining issues (JVJ has a ton of them)
(10) Daredevil Comics #3-6, 8, 11-12, 14-15 (Lev Gleason)

After I managed to get Captain Courageous 6 earlier this year (thanks to Narf), Rangerhouse has found a Banner Comics #4 up for sale on ebay. We're bidding on it.

Hopefully we can win the auction and post the issue here with large scans for everybody.

Good luck guys!

[krankyboy]

We lost the auction. 

[Yoc]

Gee, sorry to hear that KB.


My top 10 would include -
Famous Funnies #95, 99, 101, 102, 105, 106, 108.  All with Fearless Flint.
I'd also be after any missing Frankenstein issues.

We also lost out on another Banner Comics #4 on ebay last week. Talk about wretched luck (I'm starting to feel like Peter Parker with this book). And it's not like we weren't putting in fairly high bids for it.

Yoc, you'll be happy to know that Rangerhouse just received a lot of Prizes from JVJ. So you'll be getting your share of Frankie in the future.  

[narfstar]

With Frankie comes Worldbeater and Unghh a very fun strip. If you like Frank give W and U a try.

[Yoc]

Thanks KB (Love the avatar!), really looking forward to those Prize books!

[krankyboy]

Glad that you dig the avatar, Yoc. I think it's appropriate given my username. ;-)

[Yoc]

Some of your Prize Comics and Nedors will be filled in the near future KB.

[krankyboy]

That's great news!

I know that Rangerhouse has scanned a bunch of JVJ's Prizes (which you and loftypilot are currently editing). The first several books looked pretty amazing. As much as you love Frankie, I am just as big a fan of The Black Owl and Yank and Doodle. 

[darkmark (RIP)]

I'm wondering if we'll ever get Biro's TOPS before I die?  Other personal faves, which I may have already mentioned:
Fills for DAREDEVIL and BOY COMICS.
Fills for all the Fawcett titles.
The remaining Quality comics we don't have.
Final fills for JUMBO COMICS.
Probably more, but that's it for now.

  One book I would be delighted to see made available but which probably isn't a priority for anyone else is "Master Comics" #49 which contains the last Minute Man story as well as the second part of the Bulletboy story. Granted, "The Mimic and the Mite" which is the first part of the Bulletboy story isn't exactly classic or even a significant minor story in the Fawcett line but I've always had a movie serial mentality and I'd like to know how the second part turns out. I'd also like to see the last Minute Man story just simply because it was the last one.

 Trivial but true,
 Jon

[Yoc]

Good suggestion there Jon.

I like KB's list though I'd put the missing Prize Comics at the top and follow it with the missing Heroic Comics issues need to complete the HG Peter material.
