@martymann That poor monkey hangin' on his leg looks a bit scared... Reminds me of Chim-Chim from Speed Racer.. |

According to Overstreet there were 5 total issues of Golden Lad, but this is the first I have ever heard of it. I thought the lettering looked a lot like the “Green Lama” logo and checking the listing they are the same publisher - Spark. |

@KCBatmanFan I used to own a high grade copy of #1. Sold it many years ago as it did not fit my collection at the time. Had to buy it to get the entire deal that was all DC GA except that one.... | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by sborock Agreed, #6 is a Classic Cover...I also like #2 the "FORWARD TO VICTORY" cover. Besides #5 I also have #7 the Christmas cover. They weren't that easy to find on the newsstand. |

@martymann - A 3.0 graded copy recently sold on eBay for $8,500 (October 9th). Last year, during the feeding frenzy, prices in that grade ranged from around $7,500 to $12,500. | ||

I doubt if I'm alone, but I must confess that as a kid I never bothered to read any of the 2-page text stories in my comics. I read every word of the ads but just ignored the "2-pagers". While looking through my CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #59 the title of the "2-pager" caught my eye..."FARMER BOY" by J.B. Magill. For the very first time I stopped and read it and to my surprise enjoyed it. Now it looks like I have an additional 750+ stories to read. |

@martymann Amazing what a dime could buy you back then. So when you had a few dimes, and you opted to buy something other than comics, what were some of your favorite things to get back then? |

The only other true passion I had were BARCLAY LEAD TOY SOLDIERS. These 3 and a half inch gems which were available in every Dime Store toy department were incredible. I collected and played with enough of them to fill two large tin cans still around each packed in a sandwich bag to keep the paint from flaking off...wonder I didn't get lead poisoning. |
