Tarzan #70 F/VF: $15

Russ Manning art on "Brothers of the Spear"

Tarzan #155 VF+ : $12

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 low $12 price.

Tales to Astonish #42 F/VF: $110

Look better but has tear below the issue number square, from the "H" of Astonish to the edge.

Tales to Astonish #49 former PGX NM- 9.2 with off-white pages: $1,250

1st app. Giant-Man. Great centering on this copy with a full Giant-Man's right foot

I did crack the book out of its slab and it is now raw and sitting in a Mylar but kept the label and it will be included with the book. However, I cannot show it here in order to comply with Board rules.

Also, the book was sold to me by a very reputable seller as originating from the Cleveland collection with a certificate although I have no proof of that and the issue number is not written in the certificate but it will also be included with the book for what it worth but I trust the seller that this is accurate.

Finally, I think that this book has been pressed.

Tales of Suspense #49 VF+ : $1,500

Very undervalued issue and a tough one to find in high grade. Book was formerly a very early CGC 8.5 blue which I did crack to keep for my collection 20 years ago. I found a slightly better copy so this is my undercopy.

Unfortunately, I was not keeping labels during those early years so there is no label included. I agree with the grade though; it looks better from the front cover but there is something on back cover near the lower staple. It looks like some kind of light abrasion (not a stain).

Superman #24 CGC Fine- 5.5: $5,500

Classic flag cover.

This book was NOT pressed and it would obviously benefit from pressing if you are into that kind of thing (not me). Unpressed copies of such early GA books are today near extinction. Colors and gloss on this copy are beautiful for a comic of that age. Looks gorgeous for its technical grade.

CGC notes

Superman #149 Fine- : $65

8th legion app. and Death of Superman imaginary story

Superman #152 VF: $75

13th legion app.

Book looks better from the front cover but some small tears on bottom of back cover hammer the grade.
