The golden guru drops some golden knowledge...once again... Love these old covers man....
Jeff was a solid addition to your guyses team! He is a fountain of information when it comes to gold and atomic age comics,and I also watched the Man from plant x on Svengoolie sometime back!!
Kyle Schoenrock thanks Kyle, we need to start a Man From Planet X club. 😁
Damn I Love Comics!!!
Cant wait to get my mail call.
My B-Day is tomorrow 😆
robis9 happy birthday homie - thank you for your support 🙏
Happy Birthday man!
Is your new name gonna be robis10 now??
@@fireguyryan9362
No bro Im 39 its just been my handle for like forever. LMAO.😁
robis9 Happy Birthday.
Great stuff. For me, the more nerdy and specific you get, the better! I would also like at some point a video talking about whether comic books ever go DOWN in value.
That list sucks by Overstreet, where are all the Schomburg covers?
Gumba 213 Just crazy to me that he was completely over looked, as was Frazetta.
Feed me more Golden Guru!!!
🤣
I would love to see you guys do a vid on the EC horror comics!
This video was awesome and informative!
Keep up the good work!!
Love these golden age covers. Dune needs to be on this list. Lol.haha. the spice. I read my overstreet guide every day.
Love this guy! He knows his stuff! Thanks for the valuable 411!
James Hardy thanks James, glad you are enjoying the content. 👍
Awesome video. Honestly, I think that Startling 49 is an all time great, but the best sci fi robot cover ever (also Schomburg, but often unknown) has got to be Brick Bradford 6. Give it a look and see if it should be on your next list :)
joshua ellis definitely familiar with the Brick Bradford 6. Another great Schomburg cover. I have had it a few times and sold my personal a couple of years ago(regret it). A cool sci-fi cover for sure and would definitely include it/mention it in an extended list.
Thanks for introducing me to matt baker! Got my first fiction house 'jungle comics' this weekend! Can't wait to see what happens from here!
James Hardy awesome man. MattBaker covers are a blast. I wish you luck.
Thanks!
NEED a Startling Comics #49!!!!
This was awesome!
My question would be for someone new to golden age it’s scary to drop 3-5k on a book what is recommended for someone trying to test the waters on golden age?
Comics Addiction kind of a long winded answer. Comes down to what genre and characters do you like to collect, your budget, are you investing short term or long term, are you buying to collect for fun or read, etc.....
Just joined the Mystery Mail call and I’m super excited. Batman adventures 🤞😬
DUCK BUTTER thanks so much for joining and welcome to the mystery mail call.
As a longtime collector of the books featured here, I have to say that I am so glad that Jeff took issue with the inclusion of some of these entries,....my top ten or 20, etc. would be different too.
Another issue I have is this: Do we include covers based on what their monetary worth is , or how well designed and drawn the cover is,.....for me its about the latter, I look for the best art in that genre somewhat regardless of price.,..........how many times have your heard the phrase repeated in the guide buy what you like, hopefully that is what attracted us all to the comics medium is the art, not the necessarily the financial reward,.....
If some want to do a top 10 list feat the most expensive covers of pcsf fine, but as for the best covers Ill stick with the best art job,.........
any idea if any Robert heinlein adaptations
very interesting!
Bring on the Jeff !
Love Like Blood thank you for the support. 🙏
Bring on the “REAL” list!! 👍😃
Did you make a next GA SF list as promised?? :)
This channel is very different from my own channel but it's nice.
Yeah ❤ I was just wondering what was going on with the titles because even as an extremely new collector I was kinda like meh till i seen my boy buck ! Flash gordon and lost in space too ❤
Starting to sell my body parts thanks to you guys.. I need to unsubscribe before I go totally broke and limbless..... Jokes, loving the information please more videos on gold..
Emjay 🤣
Is atomic age 46-55?
This overstreet list is terrible, honestly, lol. How about: Blue Bolt 105, 106, 108, 110? Captain Flight 11? Pretty much any Fiction House title has 10 better sci-fi books than the whole overstreet list lol. Marvel Mystery Comics has numerous sci-fi themed issues that I'd take over any on this list. Human Torch 23? Yeah, Startling 49, one of the best comic book covers of all time.
DS Comics I love it. I had everyone of those on my sheet of paper as well. Just couldn’t cover them all. Love LB Cole Sci-Fi especially Blue Bolt 105.
@@goldenageguru i would love a redux vid on the top ten pch overstreet list. Your commentary was sorely needed to address that EC-heavy, pathetic pch list. Perhaps a vid redoing that list with u and tom??
⚡️Cool Cool Video guys. Gold talk sounds like a foreign language!🤯! even tho I’ve been collecting for years. Education station! 🤘🏼⭐️ #igcomicfamily @b83__comics
Love this video
Thanks for the comment my homie
TOM STOP! please stop ! i cant afford anything else. lol Great and informative video
Nice the real top gold comics at the end them planet comics!! Famous funny !! The real gold list!! Bender!!!!!! Fucking bender startling comics!!! Real gold nice nice nice keep this info coming
I definitely need more knowledge from Jeff, so yeah MORE Golden Age content.
Jeff is on point wish I had all that knowledge! I just started a UA-cam channel checkout my channel!😊 ua-cam.com/channels/uwEnaoWUP7fe2YBAP7O3Ng.html
Jeff should do his own top 10 golden age
Thanks Jeff and Tom....knowledge is power...and pricey. Awesome.
Great video. As always. Pleeeeeaaaaassse have more appearances of Jeff Itkin. His information on Golden Age comics is a must for all of us who search for these. Thanx and keep it up.
Michel Page thanks Michael. Love talking books and dropping the knowledge.
Fantastic comics #1 and #3 would make my list in a heartbeat for top 10.. Overstreet u got some splaining to do!!!!! Lol Jeff another wise educated list of urs.. I think more and more collectors are turning into Ec books or alternative golden age as superhero keys are becoming to expensive now..
#makejeffpartofthecrew!, have Jeff be part of your review crew see if he can be a regular on your show get more people talking about comics
Great video thank you chaps, so interesting and those covers are awesome, more please!.
Awesome video. Very informative. Keep em coming. Thanks guys.
This video was awesome sauce. Let’s see the top and according to your advisor because that would be amazing
Great video, I learn a lot from you guys, please do more videos on the golden age
Give us another list video Comic Tom and Golden Age Jeff
I am digging the gold love. Pun intended. How about some info on the gold kids comics like Casper, spooky, beetle baily, ect.... just a thought
My first golden book I bought a week or two ago was a batman #92 first ace the bathound and now I just won a aunction on ebay for a second golden age comic. Wow comics #18 first uncle marvel CGC 6.5
Adolph Gutierrez congrats on the win, a lot of people beginning to really jump into Captain Marvel related titles.
Loved the episode!!! And about halfway through the list I was asking out loud "What about Buck Rogers in Famous Funnies by Frazetta?". I'm sure there are some Al Williamson Flash Gordon comics out there that deserve some mention as well on cool factor alone!
Granted Al Williamson's Flash is Silver Age so that's why he's not on there!
Thank you Tom for all the knowledge you drop on your videos. Definitely need to pick up THE book.
My first golden age was a Batman in the #90's. I traded it for something stupid. I own a few golden age. Mainly funnies. I have a high grade Tom and Jerry. And a few sci fi. I love the old horror and sci fi.
More Gold talk with Jeff please!
I think the Overstreet list is designed for the collector who is new to Sci Fi comics, it's all "Mainstream" stuff - like when a "Greatest Songs of the 80s" list only has Michael Jackson, Madonna and Bruce Springstien but completely ignores Bauhaus, Swirling Eddies and Dead Milkmen. The Overstreet books are "The Hits".
Cheeseburger Summer I think you draw a great comparison here.
But while Big lizard in my Backyard is a masterpiece, it still does not get the acclaim it deserves.
Gerber photo guide was the first pressing machine!! But seriously, it a great book and every serious comic collector should have.
Strange Adventures number 1
One book that i think should be on the list is Adventures into the Unknown #17 which has a story to "who goes there" which is the inspiration for John Carpenter's The Thing.
William Medina love the fun fact, thanks for sharing that.
Love the content. Thanks Jeff. Super insightful.
Andy Chan thanks Andy.
Loving these videos with you & the Guru! More gold, atomic, silver, bronze & copper lore please! :)
Love the classic gold
Seriously loving this video and y'all's previous I need to learn more about gold haven't found any yet but getting closer
I totally that none of these would have made my top 20. I do enjoy this video series.
Tom another great video Easily my favorite channel so knowable on books and going out on hunts for the new top 10 book videos each weeks is taking collecting to another fun level thanks
Great job, guys! Love learning anything new to me! Lots of "Strange" and "Weird" in these titles! Sci-fi was just that new to regular people it seems those were the words they used.
great video! Should do a sci-fi only mystery mail call sometime
Rusty June that sounds like a fun idea.
I just picked up Weird Science #12 for $100. So excited.
I would love to see his top 10 list! Always down for some comic knowledge!
Talk more gold. It would be cool to do a list on gold comic runs you guys would recommend
Love that he brought up Planet Comics which are some of my favorites, just picked up Planet 45 and 46
NextDollarAfter such a great run. Congrats on adding the two issues to your collection.
love the books and the video, please keep the Golden Age content coming strong. Also Startling 49 is a major snub/flub how could it not even be on the list wow. It's been my personal holy grail of all grails for awhile now but i haven't been able to get one yet, not giving up though!!!
ComicBooksNYC you can’t give up. Books pop up all the time, especially when you least expect it.
Yeah, that list has to be Atomic age I guess.... It's so wrong I wouldn't know where to begin. Jeff's a great seller and knows his stuff. Too bad he doesn't have a brick and mortar store.
knights_of_old thanks so much. Got to be honest, excited as heck to not have a brick and mortar.
LIST!
Just bought my first golden age books on eBay this week. They aren’t anything special, extremely cheap low grade crime books. But I’m really excited to have some gold in my collection!
Kyle Carson Crime books are amazing, really under appreciated.
Quick comment. Some of the missing covers were later "found" and there was a sticker set issued to those that bought them from the publisher directly where you could "stick" the covers into the blank spaces in these books.
I could never find the sticker set (I bought these after-market, not direct). I really should go on the Internet and print them off to "stick" in there :)
Franklandish finding the actual stickers is extremely difficult. Printing them up individually is a great idea.
Loving the golden age content. Even though I’ll probably never own one it’s interesting to learn about them. Keep it up guys!
# Closetgeek lots of interesting history, glad you are enjoying it.
Great Video as always! Just make a Jeff Rants video!!!! lol
Stampede215 🤣
Bring on the Gold!
I like Adam Strange. I like Space Ranger (Rick Starr). I like this channel. It's fun. I was reading Mystery in Space (Adam Strange) and Tales of the Unexpected (Space Ranger) as a youngster in the 1960's. Both Adam Strange and Space Ranger are Silver Age characters. Space Ranger debuted in Showcase Comics #15, following up his initial appearance in Showcase Comics #16. Adam Strange debuted in Showcase Comics #17, followed by Showcase Comics 18 and 19. These issues were published in 1958, less than two years after the Barry Allen Flash and The Challengers of the Unknown debuted in Showcase Comics #4 and #6, respectively. So, with all due respect to Overstreet, you can remove Space Ranger and Adam Strange from the Top 10 Sci-Fi Comic Book list and easily replace them with Planet Comics, Startling Comics. I totally agree that those series should be in this Top 10 list. I would certainly not have many qualms about including Famous Funnies for its' Buck Rogers run. I'm a big Buck Rogers fan! However, Famous Funnies featured other newspaper comic strips from different genre's as well.
This list really misses so much great sci-fi work. Where's the new and improved sci-fi list?!
2 years later I'm waiting for that other list. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
Sorry but you guys are wrong about the numbering, avoiding using #1. Its simply a way for the publisher to avoid having to pay $2000 for every new series to the post office. If they didn't start at issue 1 they could get away without paying the post office a deposit for meter mailing for the new series of comics. Feldstien was cheap and inventive. Its all good.
Yikes! Those books on Amazon run about $75 a pop. Do you know if they are only available in hardcover? Awesome look back on these historic covers and of course tons of info from the Guru.
Fantastic comics #3 is the mother of all robot covers and blows away every book mentioned in this video including the startling #49. I bet Jeff will agree once he looks into it.
What is suggested for a first Golden book to try to get as a first book into the Golden Age
supragino this is a really tough question and get asked this quite a bit and should really do a video on it. You can probably jump into fawcette titles(Captain Marvel, Whiz, Master Comics Captain Marvel jr and Mary Marvel) for relatively inexpensive and still relevant with the Shazam movie on the horizon.
@@goldenageguru that is actually a great reply and would be an awesome video. There is so much Golden Age and sometimes gets confusing. So many characters never heard of and some books I wonder why they are so popular. Also finding specific characters first appearances like Felix the Cat for example is one I'd probably want, but so hard to search in regards to the book name itself
Golden age comics are my favorite kind of comics I will try to get a whiz comics 2 or a whiz comics 3
These videos are great tom and guru dropping knowledge
More they might be giants references! For science!
Why not do a Frazetta show?
Love the knowledge that Jeff brings to the table! Love the Planet Comics. Those are some I would have on my wish list. I definitely want to see and here more from Jeff on all the golden and atomic age goodness. Another book I really like to have is a Wow comics 38. Love that Mary Marvel cover! Well anyway Tom another great video brother! I wait all day for them to show up! Can't get enough!
comicgman2164 the Wow 38 is a great cover.
