  1. Ooh! Is the Maestro de la Tortura the Heath story to correspond with the Men's Adventures? If so I would love to see pics.
  2. Same for me. I sold my undercopy of the GI in Battle annual through heritage last year and was pretty disappointed with the result. I have 2 high grade copies of the Fighting Man and I'm in no rush to sell the other.
  3. More than half of Everett's Atlas war covers were water-related by my count. It would be interesting to know if that was his preference or an editorial decision.
  4. Here's one for @MrBedrock. Note the date stamp.
  5. It really is. Every time I take it out of the bag it strikes me by how well done it is.
  6. Going through my collection and figured I would share a few books I've picked up over the years.
  7. Agreed. The earlier covers are more well executed, but there are a few later ones I've looked for that are pretty over the top, like the one you posted.
  8. Dwight, in your experience have you found the later Horror Stories and Terror Tales to be more difficult in grade? Seems like the paper is lower quality than earlier in the run.
  9. This is going to be a function of how thick the book is. For a 64-80 page standard annual, as long as you aren't squeezing the book or moving it around a bunch you should be fine. If the board is bowing, you're probably too tight. Now will that cause damage? That depends on the qualities of the book itself. But as a general rule, a silver age or smaller book should be just fine on a Gerber Silver/Gold size mylite2 with a fullback.
  10. FYI, CGC slabs are not the best way to store books.
  11. Or mycomicshop. But I agree, the big 3 are not the right place for those books.
