An ebay misspelling error lesson

Scooped this up, just now, for $26.00

I know this comic wouldn't have reached the prices it commands without it's

cover having been revealed betwixt the pages of the Gerber guide.

Has very heavy wear and tear. Interior is rough but all stories are complete.

plus this $5. Sea Hunt S.C.U.B.A Scuba Scooby Dooba Dooby, ad infinitum

as well as this $2 "Other" Frank Frazetta ACG Charlton reprint of a probable reprint

I'm tellin' ya,

"Now's the time to buy: what with panicking homeowner's insatiable mortgages and looming foreclosures.

Sellers are cutting loose of their truly oddball, weirdo, scarce and rare comics before they part with their "precious" superhero comics,

(which, what with the coming glut, many of which will be sold VERY cheaply, like everything else.)

Would you, please, do your thing, ("A Month in the Life of the Comics") on this

EC CrimeSuspenstories #6 ? (KKK - Ku Klux Klan kover)

THX ever so much. You, my friend, are "The Man."

L.

edit. I got ur shiite. later.

"Nice books"

Posted this in the Golden Age section already but thought I may as well post it here also. Two new file copies in the mail today.....First Love 11 and 35...35 is a SOTI illustration.."the name of this comic is First Love...missed out on this one a few years back, nice to finally find it in nice condition...

jscomics? off ebay?

Has Greggy hit you up yet?

Greggy only loiters around in the Bronze Age. (At least it seems so.)

And he's not limited to romance.

Thanks.

This one came from the same lot.

It's, actually, the first issue of the 137 issue run.

Sweethearts v.2, #23, (Charlton #1) 1954

(Color tinted B/W photo cover)

All of the comics from that lot are from 1954

except for the 1952 Young Love v.4, #10 (#40).

True Life Secrets #23, Charlton romance, 1954 "... and just what must I do to get those?"

I'm not selling it. It's a bit of a grail, for me.

Would you, please, help me grade it correctly? Thanks very much.

You can view it over here in the "Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?" section.

PINKY LEE (THE ADVENTURES OF) #2, VG ATLAS 1955

*SCARCE* TEEN HUMOR

STAN LEE SCRIPTS

MORRIS WEISS COVER/STORY ART

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pinky Lee (May 2, 1907, Saint Paul, Minnesota–April 3, 1993, Mission Viejo, California), born Pincus Leff, was a male burlesque comic and host of the children's television program, The Pinky Lee Show in the early 1950s.

Lee worked as comic of the "baggy pants" variety on stage, becoming an expert at the slapstick, comic dancing and rapid-fire jokes of the burlesque style. During the 1940s, he was heard on Drene Time and other radio programs.

Easily recognized by his trademark lisp and his high-energy antics, his signature costume was a loud plaid suit with baggy checkered pants and an undersized hat. During his routines, whenever anybody irritated him (which happened frequently) he would unleash his catchphrase: "Oooooh! You make me so mad!"

Reportedly, comic actor Paul “Pee-Wee Herman” Reubens intentionally based his nerdy alter ego on Pinky Lee and his TV series, PEE-WEE’S PLAYHOUSE, on THE PINKY LEE SHOW!

From Scott Shaw's Oddball Comics Website

But here’s an Oddball Comics exclusive: a unique eyewitness account of Pinky Lee’s darkest TV hour by my friend Alison Julian, an immensely talented children’s book author/illustrator and highly regarded animation background painter. Alison refers to her all-too-true story as “Poor Pincus”:

“When I was about nine, I belonged to a Brownie troop. For a reason which is lost to the ages, we were invited to be in the audience of the Pinky Lee show. Remember, television was then a fairly new medium, and being ON TEEVEE was a big deal.

“During the (commercial) break, Pinky Lee sat in the empty seat just below mine, and promptly melted down. He began to sob. His managers tried to put him back together again, but he kept crying ‘I just can't do it anymore. I just can't’. He was a little black and white heap of uncontrollable weeping. I was really overcome by his pain, and went home in tears. I couldn't sleep that night. I was so moved by him I thought I was in love. (Hey. I was nine.) I kept wishing I could somehow fix the pathetic little man in the stupid little hat.”

Ryan Sook seems similar.

A little too similar. S'ok. More the merrier.
