Ill help posting if people are asking too much.

The S&H is sometimes a real pain, though. I got these in rather nice condition for 5-7 each. Found another place that does half off all backstock. I wondered why until the guy that owns it said "I have nearly 350K books I need to clear out."
If Draco does ship to you let me know as I have a couple of Flash doubles in the mid 200s.
Cool and thanks. Anything with Green Lantern and/or Green Arrow in it is what I'd be looking for.
I'll have a gander. Can't remember which have Firestorm/Green Lantern/Elongated Man in.
Sweet. Wasn't there a period where Green Lantern sort of took over the Flash book? Am I imagining that? If not, do you know which issues? I'm thinking it's around the era my newest purchases are in.

I just went looking for some info on this and didn't really find an answer. But from looking at the covers Flash appears to be on every one and only brief bits of GL. Although I did get pretty side tracked when I saw this cover:

Looks ace!

When Green Lantern Vol 2 was canceled the first time (89 - Apr/May 72) Green Lantern's continued as a back-up in the Flash 217-243, 245, 246 before Green Lantern Vol 2 was restarted with issue 90 (Aug/Sept 76)

Thanks much. I'm going to put these in my GL v2 thread.

Agreed. I'm going to hunt down that one, as well. Alan Scott? A cover with old JSA characters? A cover that looks that sweet? Yep, I'm all over that

Turns out my LCS has a 90% complete run of Silver Age Flash books, from the first Barry appearance(I think) all the way through Crisis. I believe they have all the GL/GA issues, for anywhere from 6-12 dollars each. The cool thing with this store is that you get 10,20 or even 30 and 40 % off depending on the amount you spend. Plus, the folks that run it are a blast and really know the business.

I got both Unity Diamond TPB for $215. They are both in pristine condition. Never read/opened. To bad that I cannot read them as I do not want to create a crease on the spine...they have never been open!!!I bought them from my in-laws neighbor. He is a retired guy with a large comics collection and very meticulous about the storage/handling of a comic book.
