If You Could Own Just One Silver Age Comic, What Would It Be?
Here is my entry
Yes the cover is not the best in relation to it's 1st appearance but this opened up a world of possibilities for me in the world of comics. Long story for another day
I’ve always fancied a copy of Incredible Hulk # 1, it is one of the very few early SA Marvel comics that I’ve never owned. It appeals to me more than an AF # 15 but if I was going to own a copy for my own enjoyment than I’d want it to be a presentable grade and I could never justify spending that kind of money on one comic for my own enjoyment. Hopefully one day I’ll get one come in to stock so I can at least say I’ve owned it…
BTW, I was going to post a pic of it but the file size was too big and I can’t be arsed to find another image now

I've got you
Well I'm surprised you haven't owned a copy. Have you had one pass through your hands though?

No I’ve never had a copy pass through my hands. It’s one of three Marvel SA keys that I’ve never had pass through my hands as a dealer, this, AF # 15 and surprisingly ASM # 1. I’m sure they will at some point.

Well keeps things exciting at least 😁
Love to own few silver age monsters good shout Garry at Hulk 1, and Strange Tales 110 I have and recently picked up FF 3 another grail for me, also an AF 15 or FF 1 would be desirable but...
If I could pick only one it have to be showcase 4, love the Flash but also the history behind it as it officially launching the silver age of comics
I never own one apart from a reprint 😆

All great covers chaps but i'd have to agree with Mr. Biggles, my favourite Silver Age book is Showcase 4.
It's such an iconic and striking cover.
