Silver Age Gems and 50 Years of Comic Collecting!

[@bronzevillecomics2581]

Loved this video. As a big DC collector I’m really jealous of a lot of these high grade books.

[@kevinjameson7817]

Danny should be a regular on your show.

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

He pretty much is.

[@shawnfreehling6444]

Great, great video. I love the Vintage Comic Show & Tell series and this might be the best episode yet. Danny, thank you for sharing your amazing DC keys!

[@philcamacho127]

Danny is a real comic connoisseur. As a smaller run completist, I find his larger collection runs and historical knowledge insane. His ability to chat easily on the start and stop #s of a full run, key significances, and how it may have transitioned into something else is geekingly amazing. His discerning eye on the best-looking SA books is also top notched. Danny should show more of his incredible books. The Famous Funnies Frazetta sci-fi covers were truly out of this world. No pun intended. Please keep up these terrific brother show & tell vids 😊👍

[@mrdigit3353]

[@anthonyboron9436]

Love the Danny series !

[@souldavidthompson4854]

I'm the same age as you Danny -- and I also love the different eras of Brave and the Bold.. You have a great collection! And you have some great stories to tell about collecting them.

[@pbales8951]

I love these episodes where you and Danny chat about and show off such amazing comics!

[@davidwarring1572]

You got to love high grade keys from the silverage one of the best investments in comic book collecting there is. I have adventure comics 283 1st general zod in a cgc 8.0 off white / white pgs

[@ers5072]

Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane #1s are so much cooler than any ASM ever published!

[@hogations]

Amazing books! There's something to be said about Sheldon Mayer's artwork, the clean lines, composition, expression, etc. a master at his craft! I have a few misc. Sugar and Spike issues and I always marvel at the artwork - especially the covers!

[@marcovendetti3373]

Great comics! I love both Marvel and D.C. comics! Especially silver and bronze age.

[@derrickfelsen7250]

A lifetime of dedication and focus!

[@quest8054]

You look great for 61! Great comics btw

[@clivebarrell6448]

What a great video. Full of historical context for these fantastic early DC keys. Such a refreshing change to see these comics being discussed and shared. Thanks guys.

[@erikk.5202]

Great video guys. I grew with DC Comics and they are still my collecting preference. It is so great you have a brother who is a true comic collector and you work with your daughter. I am envious.

[@sonnycoelho1752]

What an incredible collection! I wasn't really familiar with pre-Justice League Brave and the Bold so it was very cool to see such a nice copy of the first issue!

[@thrashleyb7594]

Great to see those books. Love to see the excitement that you all have for collecting comics.

[@o.g.comicsreview4555]

Nice show, never seen it before. I started collecting in 74-75, I'm 60. I leaned into Marvel Comics.

[@jacobbornowsky4013]

This is my favorite content on this channel!! Great show fellas

[@chrismaloy]

Such a great episode. I Iove Danny appearances.

[@davidwarren680]

It is so much fun seeing these rare books, thanks!

[@chrissutter5798]

Dave's reaction at 4:46

[@donaldmiller9648]

Hah I knew Action 252 would be first one shown...I had a copy but sold my copy years ago when its value was lower ...I liked both DC and Marvel and had a great silver age collection by late 1980s but sold a lot of collection around 1990. Good to see the older comics. I never ran across an Adventure 247 in 1970s...but kept the Adventure #300-380 as loved series as a kid. After letting go most of my silver age DC (kept Superman Family and Legion titles) I reverted to satisfy my story desire from that age to DC Showcase books etc... Very nice set of B&B JLA And other titles.

[@manaout7769]

I love these videos with you two. I wish my brother collected comics.

[@Cyril-1973]

Awesome collection. Finally some love for the Legion. Long live the Legion!

[@silveragedc]

I’m hoping we do a whole LSH episode one day. 😊

[@kevinwilson7213]

Man, there are some nice books there. Love all the DC.

[@kirbycarpenter9775]

I always love Danny’s books and the info he shares about them.

[@bdav1967]

Great books! Loved the video and the dialog about the journey.

[@seadogswork]

Your Brave and Bold # 1 looks beautiful. While the book is not rare, copies as nice as this just aren't available to the average collector. In 1955 (when DC launched Brave & Bold), so-called "sword and sandal" movies were quite popular (think: biblical stories, or Hercules, Ben Hur, Spartacus, Ivanhoe, and so on .... the Dell Four Color series is full of adaptations of these movies, and Fawcett had a few, too). So when comic book publishers were casting about for some safe harbor for action stories, to secure Code approval, the historical swordplay theme might have looked pretty good. EC gave it a try with five issues of Valor, a pretty lovely (if a little staid) comic book. And Atlas (Marvel) published its original run of Black Knight in that era, too. Toby Press had done its own outlier Black Knight issue in 1953. A lot of the other publishers might have been out of the business by mid-1955, but the genre was represented by at least four publishers (Dell, DC. Atlas, EC). The Viking Prince era of Brave & Bold lasted 24 issues. But the book was bi-monthly, so, yeah, the format held with DC for 4 years. I love the series. I do not have them all, but I love the series. The later Viking Prince issues by Joe Kubert are amazing. And, just as a side note, Green Arrow was a back-up to Superboy in practically all of the Golden Age and early Silver Age issues. Same for Aquaman - some bonus heroes for your dime. Adventure was pretty much always a superhero anthology title until the Legion of Superheroes era. I like the Sheldon Mayer stuff, too. I'm partial, especially, to Scribbly, but like Sugar and Spike too. (If you decide to collect that title, be wary; there are paperdolls on the pages within, and a lot of younger-readers' scissor-work is often found inside.

[@ComicBoomTube]

Thank you for sharing some of your collection guys!

[@robinmastre8642]

Great show fellas…refreshing to see these DC books…I just started on a DC Golden/Silver age quest myself…Lots of fun here…I’d be happy if you turned this into a little bit of a series!

[@jambocomics9862]

Thank you for the video. Enjoy those wonderful books.

[@stevebell5017]

Great show guys thanks keep em coming ❤

[@richardzaric2524]

Great books! Thanks for sharing.

[@looneysagii7665]

Cool DC's, WOW!!!

[@bdk1975]

I’m gonna get Danny’s autograph next time I see him.

[@priority2]

Wonderful video! Thanks ❤

[@corso_kid]

Dave , you travel to Vegas to visit Danny a lot, you should show up when they have the library sales…. Big fans of you and the family

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

I went to one of them! It was good!

[@CBs_Bill_from_Montana]

I wish I had all those as usual.

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

Great collection indeed. I almost thought the last three books would have been Action #242, JLA #1 and Teen Titans #1.

[@silveragedc]

I don't have any of those. I'd love an Action 242 and Adventure 210 👍

[@VaryingViewpoint]

Great show!

[@ConlinsComics]

I both enjoy this video as i have just started collecting Brave and the Bold, Showcase, and Justice league of America, and fear this video as now theres more attention on these books lol but Silver age DC is refreshing after years of collecting marvel when for the most part you can get great dc keys at higher grades for often much cheaper than say a silver age spidey in low grade 👍

[@jespernicolaj]

Love this show. I'm missing X-Men (1963) 1. I waited to buy that as the last issue. Had I bought it ten years ago, I could have gotten a really nice copy. Now, I can afford a 2.0-3.0. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[@dahur]

Some cool books...

[@ers5072]

I've got a copy of Adventure Comics #247. No cover but complete with a badly torn first page. I bought a small collection of DC Silver Age last year and the guy gave me a stack of coverless books. Months later I was looking thru them and discovered it. Anybody have a cover that wants to marry the inside of Adventure Comics #247? Great video as usual!

[@gregm7269]

Those ole key DC books seem much harder to find than Marvel. I imagine verrrry few people have both a high grade Lois Lane #1 and Jimmy Olsen #1

[@jkoolaid21]

❤ other great video

[@dprescott1970]

Awesome

[@ronhobbs463]

Did you buy my B&B 79 in 9.8 off the boards? Mine was the only 9.8 at the time.

[@nighttigercomics7323]

Killer books! Does your brother collect any non-keys?

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

Oh yes. He is a completist, so he has many!

[@vynilrob9719]

How much was a Wizard X-Men 1/2 being sold for when it came out?

[@KEVVIE37]

Martian manhunter is not on the cover of Tec 225.

[@futurepastvintagecollectables]

I was corrected pretty quickly after I made this. Good stuff.
