I need the Dick Sprang issue (Dick Spang????) #13. Kurtzman is #18. Here is the link

Issues 73 and 74 have been issued to add to this list. Who did you know in the group? I know Larry Shell, Richie Halegua, Kamen, Jim Kelly, and the guy who published the Tales from the Plague. Probably a few others from my days in real comics.

I didn't know anybody actually...a guy I know had a copy that I happened to see one day, and I copied down the address and sent a letter to I believe Bob Koppany, who was the compiler at the time, and he sent me a list of the issues that were still available.  I was also able to track down the Dick Sprang book he issued as a supplement to one of the issues, that DC only allowed him to produce 200 copies of (a beautiful hardcover 300+ page, w/ color plates signed by Sprang/Ltd ed) that went to members and a few libraries only.  I think Roger Hill, who I used to correspond with also supplied me with a few copies, and there might have been someone else who was the mailer at another time whose name I forget now....it was all 7-10 years ago so I don't have many of the more recent editions.

The prices started to go crazy once I started collecting. $300-$400 for some issues. I bought a load for about $50 each. Now it seems back to $50-$150. I will still pay $200 for the 13 if anyone has one and can send a scan.
