    Great Cheap Bin Find!



    My son chose this comic out of the dollar bins recently, nothing major except I remember liking this comic when it came out, got a nice surprise as we opened it up.



    Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson signatures, great find for a seven year old.

              Very cool...two really great & talented creators!

              Had a few great comic book finds like that: One was issue #1 of Jon Sable Freelance signed inside by Mike Grell, and an issue of the Hulk magazine signed by Lou Ferrigno. The biggest find was a 1967 Batman paperback for a dollar, opened it up and it was signed by Adam West!

                  I also have an "Amazing World of DC" issue that I got in a buck bin that has a Joe Stanton Superboy sketch in it.

                    I remember when Archie Goodwin would draw an occasional strip on the Bullpen Bulletins pages of Marvel books in the 80s. He always drew himself like that.

                    Great find!!! The most I ever found was a double-cover.

                      Wow, that's cool, Brian. Al Williamson is one of the greats.

                      I didn't get it out of the dollar bin, but I won a lot of Superman stuff off eBay that had an autographed Curt Swan Superman book in it.

                        Didn't he also draw cartoon intro's on the inside front cover the the Epic comics he edited as well?

                        What a wonderful treasure to have Goodwin and Williamson's sigs.

                        Both DC and Marvel suffered greatly from Goodwin's absence.

                        and the Warren stuff he wrote and edited!

                          A couple years ago my local comic shop had a collection of Don Newton stuff. All the issues of everything he penciled over his career. Reputedly this was Newton's personal collection (Newton lived in Phoenix). I purchased a few issues that I needed for my collection. When I opened up one issue there was a small piece of paper with a sketch by Newton on it.

                            You lucky dog! I loved Don Newton's stuff. Vastly under-rated. One of the best, most original illustrators to ever work in comics.

                              I tucked it away somewhere. If I run across it I'll scan it and post it.
                              I'm currently reading the Dollar Comics run of Adventure Comics and Newton did a lot of art in those.
