Can't find my Marvel Science and Captain Future.   Lost or forgotten?

And not PCH per se, but a kinda horror-ish train cover:

i always liked that theme,  Cooper used his roof top scene several times. This is a copy I made.

BLBs do cross over with comic strips but not much with comic books.
Comic Books are full of comic book stories.
Big Little books have a single story, a novelette?, with an illustration on every other page.
Pulp Magazines contain fiction of any length, with a few scattered interior illustrations.

"Both were cheaply produced, cheap to buy"
> So what.

"... and tough to find in higher grade."
Everything old is hard to find in high grade.

"And not a quality location to post in the threads."
And neither is this sub-board.

Donald Duck may be the exception.  Pirates Gold and Volcano Valley were both stories by Barks and there are others.

Don't have any new comics but found another illustration by Alex.

I like this Abbott cover.  The good girl reminds me of a Tiger Girl cover.

Oops, I think That is not my copy based on the location of the date stamp.My copy is dated March 9 and the other March 23.  Perhaps that is the arrival dste in Oregon vs the east coast.

I remember seeing one of these in a glass case at the original Bedrock City location on Westheimer in 90s, next to a Detective Comics 50. After all this time, I finally snagged a copy.

When did Bedrock open on Westheimer?  I used to go there to listen to the Empty Can Band.  Wasn't the Godfathers also on that Street?

I have collected most of the Our Gang series with art by Carl Barks but willing to let the Tom Jerry series go.

I like the issue with the Spanky autgraph cause he was supposed to be the editor.  I doubt if he knew that.

Does anyone know of any online stores that have a large number of Tom & Jerry comics?

I've already sifted through MyComicShop, NewKadia, Mile High, dozens of eBay stores, and a couple of smaller online comic shops.

I'm going to look though Comic Collector and HipComic again later today.

Looking to see whether I've missed any others that may hold a huge collection that doesn't break the bank.

What issues do you need?

I absolutely LOVE Godwin's comic work and have been searching for a missing cover copy of 17 just so that I can scan the WW story.  Your copy looks beautiful.

And I never see #3 in such nice shape.  WOW.

The Spirit is one of my favorite characters,  He was published in several different formats, 

I have comic book size newspaper giveaways, Tabloid size, giveaway from Charities but I especially like Quality comics reprints in Spirit comics and Police.

A thousand stories or umbrellas

Superman 57, 1949. Sending off for a clean and press, then to CGC. Not for sale, staying in my PC.

I like that issue but it should have been Superwoman debut.

I am looking for a coverless GA Superman 12 (one with white patriotic cover) and coverless Four Color 178 (Bear Mtn. Uncle Scrooge). Was told FC 178 is quite common as the print run was huge on Disney ducks ....

I do have a coverless copy of Superman 12 but I am interested in a cover or a good trade.

I was helping my neighbor price a bunch of comics to sell in his mother’s antique shop and he has the cover ( front and back, loosely attached to each other) and one wrap from Superman 3.  
 

Does anyone have even an order of magnitude valuation for something like that?  I have no idea what to tell him.

Start at half the good price then work your way down.  The Timely comics will sell first.  The Superman 3 wou;d sell at half the goo price I think.

I have a few pre-hero marvels in this group. Is Tales to Astonish 27 hero or not?

 

I purchased those at the flea market and LCS.  I got my later issues at the local drug store new.
