Mad #47 VF/NM (very slight restoration): $25

Book was sold to me without disclosure of restoration.. It looks gorgeous but there is some color black pen touch-up on a few stress lines at spine. It does not bleed through the cover and is very hard to detect and easy to miss but you can see it with a magnifying loop under light. It's very tiny but it's there.

Dear Mr. Picky,

You seem to have an eclectic collection and tastes in comics. By chance do you have any of the old (1970s) Ripley's Believe It Or Not comics? Or Twilight Zone comics?

Your friend,

Noman

No, sorry 

Shock SuspenStories #1 CGC 9.0: $2,500

To the best of my knowledge, this book was not pressed. Old label goodness!

CGC grader notes

I don't know if this book was pressed or not.

Strange Adventures #205 CGC VF+ 8.5: $2,200

Origin and 1st app. Deadman. This book is on the rise recently due to DCU announcements.

To the best of my knowledge, this book was not pressed. No CGC grader notes available unfortunately but this one was graded in 2006. Gorgeous copy for its technical grade.

Blitzkrieg full run #1-5: $110

take

Strange Adventures #117-160 full run Atomic Knights: $4,000

It took me more than three decades to complete this run in high grade and it's a much tougher run to complete than any Marvel super-hero title for which, when you have the money, you can complete a run relatively quickly. Forget this with the Atomic Knights, even if you have the cash, some issues are just impossible to find in high grade and come out in the market very rarely. The offering here is therefore a unique opportunity. I will NOT break the run. I will either sell them all or keep them all. This is a title that I know that once sold, I will never be able to find again in that kind of condition.

Grades are as follow:

#117: 7.5

#120: 7.0

#123: 8.0

#124: 6.0 looks much better but half inch split at bottom spine

#126: 8.0

#129: 8.0

#132: 8.0

#135: 9.0

#138: 9.2 (former CGC, now cracked but label will be included, book was not pressed)

#141: 8.5

#142: 8.5

#144: 9.0

#147: 7.5

#150: 9.0/9.2 (small ding on lower left corner of fc otherwise solid 9.4)

#153: 9.2

#156: 9.0

#160: 8.5/9.0 (looks better from the fc but downgraded because of bc)

Note that I got about half of them from the personal collection of Rick High several years ago. For those like me whom have bought from him in the past, you know how nice are his books.

Also note that #124 and #142 are not Atomic Knights issues but feature the Faceless Creature which character I always did like which is why it's also included

Tarzan #70 F/VF: $15

Russ Manning art on "Brothers of the Spear"

Tarzan #155 VF/VF+ : $15

Structurally NM- but has tanning line along right edge of front cover and along left edge of back cover.

Featuring awesome art by Russ Manning and re-telling the origin of Tarzan. The art and story alone well worth the entry price.

Korak Son of Tarzan #14 F/VF: $5

Korak Son of Tarzan #15 VF: $10

Korak Son of Tarzan #20 VF/NM: $15

Korak Son of Tarzan #37 VF+ : $5

or take all four books for $20

CGC Grader Notes

IronJaw #1-4 + Barbarians #1 full run: $125 for all five books

#1: NM-   Neal Adams cover
#2: NM+  Neal Adams cover
#3: NM-
#4: NM-
Barbarians #1: NM-

Eerie #81 NM- : $100

Such a classic cover and lot of female nudity in this one.

Looks NM+ but a small pen mark at top right of 1st page and what appear to be two faint finger marks on right edge explain the grade.

First Issue Special #8 NM-/NM: $100

1st app. Warlord

Blitzkrieg full run #1-5: $110 SOLD

Grades are as follow:

#1: 9.0 (pressable to higher grade)

#2: 9.2

#3: 9.0

#5: 9.2

Aquaman #4 de-slabbed CGC VF+ 8.5: $200

Bought this one several years ago and cracked it out of its slab. I agree with the grade. I still have the label and it will be included with the book. I am including a scan of the book when it was in its CGC holder. Book was not pressed. Very early CGC graded copy in a period when grading was accurate.
