Recently picked up this Iron Man Magazine from 2010 in CGC 9.4 and its one of the two highest graded copies of this issue currently; none higher. Woohoo! The issue sports a Skottie Young pin-up inside to go with this badass Billy Tan cover.

Originally a 1946 print ad for Balanced Pacific Sheets in which the young man was actually reading a copy of the book "Treasure Island", I can certainly get behind the alteration in this EC Comics redux using the 1952 Golden Age "Tales from the Crypt" No. 19; a Jack Davis cover.

Under "Books I'd Like to Own" is this copy of Famous Funnies No. 16 by Eastern Color in 1935 which is one of the first 50 comic issues ever published. Open to corrections but I've not found any comic older than this with a Thanksgiving themed cover.
