I am selling a ton of GOOD GIRL ART type comics online via auction. Here is a link to my sales post. Also here is a photo. Thanks for looking!

Anyone try to buy a copy of Pussycat #1 lately? They do not go cheap... Overstreet guide is WAY off.

 

Overboard by George Worts

Popular Library #292 (1950)

Well that was fast. Guess that's why they call you Bangzoom.

Speaking of bangzoom, that is one bangin' cover worthy of zoomin' in on.

You guys should squid while you're ahead.

Somebody needs to post the image of "Overboard" by an author named Worts. That is some great Belarski!

i am glad you like it...kelholt

Insides are even better....loaded with lingerie panels, etc.

Naming yourself "mydadsextras" shows a lack of judgment. It is difficult to look at that name and not see "My Dad Sextras."

only bought a couple of slabbed books:

Jeesh, you bought all that in a short time period? Which lottery did you recently win, again? About a dozen of those comics are on my wantlist.

I'm a sucker for small-logo Sensations and I always wanted this issue in particular....

Now I want to know how a pebble saves the world.

Hi, I picked up a low grade copy of Sensation Comics #56 yesterday for $5. The cover is pretty thrashed, ripped and taped together; but the interior is pretty nice, no brittleness, writing, or cut out pieces. I counted 24 pages, or 48 pages total, front and back, and I am trying to determine if this book is complete. There is no obvious interuption in the storyline, but I thought most golden age books had 52 pages. Any help is apprecitated.

I can't tell if by "front and back" you mean you also counted the front cover and back cover.

In any case, the best resource I've found for determining page count is the Grand Comics Database, which has the web address comics.org.

Here is the page for Sensation Comics #56 -- Link to Sensation #56 at Comics.org

As you can see, it is supposed to have 52 pages. When you count, include every page side starting with the cover and ending with the back cover.

If it does turn out the comic only has 48 pages, the first thing to look at is the center wrap -- is it missing? It helps to read the story and look for abrupt leaps in continuity.

I've been burned a few times with comics that had the center wrap missing. I've avoided a lot of bad losses by checking the GCD and doing a page count.

Here's my favorite 50's Golden age group shot. And yes I know one of them is PGX slab but who cares its still Awesome Hope everyone likes them

Nice. The PGX slab doesn't hurt the niceness unless you break it out and the grade is wrong.

As a grammar nerd, I am a little irked by the unnecessary apostrophe.

Though admittedly not many people are likely to notice anything in that region of the cover.

Awesome stuff, thanks for posting! I love those early Cracked covers. That Creepy cover, though....I think the spaceship needs to be injected with penicillin.

Hi, I am selling a bunch of Golden Age comics on eBay this week. Here is my post in the appropriate marketplace section.

 

Briefly, the titles include: Startling Comics #8, An Earth Man on Venus, Attack on Planet Mars, Cow Puncher, The Saint, Jungle Thrills, The Fighting Yank, Startling Comics, and comics that contain PHANTOM LADY and MISS FURY stories. Publishers include Star, Avon, and Nedor. Noteworthy cover artists include L.B. Cole, Wally Wood, Alex Schomburg, Graham Ingels, and Jack Kamen.

 

I don't see a Startling Comics #8.

Ooops, brain cramp. I meant to say (and have edited it thusly) SUSPENSE Comics #8. Sorry about that, chief.

In chronological order, here are the first three examples I noticed.

Wow, talk about being observant!

I think if young women read about characters who "kiss," "thrill," and "tremble," they are in danger of succumbing to the evil temptations of masturbation. Then there's no turning back, and you have to lock them in the basement with chastity belts and put them on a strict regimen of shock therapy. Better to censor out those salacious, sinful words and images, don't you think?

And some of the Romance books...

Not just Baker but Schomburg and Feldstein too.

Joanna's gonna be jealous...

And the rest of the leftovers!!!!

Love the Sun Girl!

Bob-a-loo's fault.... I am hooked

It's basically Action Comics #1 with an attractive female.... What's not to love?

I started out to do several group shots this evening. But my first try bombed. Here it is. As soon as I figure out how to do group shots better, I will do a few.

Cool shot, love the early EC's.

In spite of the Purple Label of Death, it sure is purty!

This has probably been mentioned, but Baker's illustrations grace the intros of all the stories in the pulp Manhunt Vol. 1 #1.

I just made another graphic that shows a way to get all your packaging materials for free.

Using this method. you can mail hundreds of comics. One caveat is that you should probably only use this for sending things USPS. I feel it is entirely ethical to use free USPS stuff if the money is going right back into their pocket.

One other consideration: You might want to add additional cardboard around the comic, or put the comic inside extra plastic. Some people here have discussed taping down the comic so it doesn't slide around inside the package. All of these practices can be added to the following method, based on your preferences. Even so, if you use only what's shown here, the comic is protected by 3 layers of cardboard, which is pretty good.

Well, I've been working on upgrading my Buck Rogers run for several years now and I think I'm finally good. Here's the updated groupshot.

Biddy biddy biddy biddy!

We should have a contest to see who can do the most interesting job coloring it in.

That's so funny, About an hour ago, I downloaded the image and opened it in Photoshop to do that very thing! Great minds think alike. (thumbs u

Hahaha.... Who doesn't like coloring?
