Silent Master

Those are awesome Doug!

 

Just picked these up on E-Bay while watching the Superbowl - Zeck SS/sketch goodness!

 

 

I tried to have them end around half time. I am glad a fellow boardie was able to win them

I'm glad I got to spend my money with a boardie!!!! I can't wait!!!!! Thanks!

(by the way I can't believe you had these listed separately?!?!?! They should never be parted!!!! )

I'll keep the ball rollin'....

 

That Buck Rogers SS is awesome!!!!!!!!

I had this signed by the legendary Russ Heath. It's the only issue that he drew for GI Joe. He's known for his DC war genre work mostly. This is currently the only Heath signed copy that exists! (thumbs u

VERY NICE!!! (and you should sell it to me!!!)

Just got my holy grail!!!!!

 

Always a beautiful thing to see!!!

Lobo - thanks sir, one sent back.

 

Silent Master - you know who to message if you ever lose your mind and decide to sell it.

I will do (thumbs u

Wow SM, I just realized my favorite artist of all time Michael Golden signed that issue 23 as well...are you SURE you don't want to sell it???

- I'm sure!

Silent Master...any interest in selling issue 23???

 

23 might be my favorite cover from the entire series I had a golden signed SS 9.6 copy a few years back. I also love the cover to 38 but feel biased toward that one since I am a big Destro fan, and in thy case 31 is a sweet cover as well.

You know I may have owned that CGC 9.6 copy of 23 signed by Golden until last week when I sold it when I got this 23 CGC 9.8 in... it was a sweet copy!

Silent Master,

 

Sweet, sweet books! Where were these signed? (I mean which convention--obviously they're signed on the covers)

Thanks! Rich Henn got these signed for me at the VA ComicCon.

Silent Master...any interest in selling issue 23???

No way! Sorry....

Some Hama - Golden yellow label sweetness!!! Super thanks to Rich!!

Beautiful report!!!

WOW - nice!!!

Does anyone have a scan or photo of the back of GI Joe #2 (2nd print)? OR a description would be almost as good!

Thanks!!!

 

#3 - Not listed 2nd print (baggedSet 3-4-5) 60cent M shaped price block, blackSpidey

 

This is wrong - the bagged 2nd print of #3 had a "clear" Spidey with the webbing on it not a black Spidey. It's the same as the #4 & 5 in the bag. I don't even think Black Spidey was introduced by the time G.I. Joe #11 came out.

 

-

The final word on the #3, #4, & #5 bagged issues... this comes from a 'Joe collector from up in Canada that I met years ago and in my opinion is the most well-versed in a things "GI Joe comics"...

#3 there 3 variants

 

-NewsStand 60cent square price block, barcode

 

-DirectSales 60cent diamond price block, clearSpidey

 

- Not listed 2nd print (baggedSet 3-4-5) 60cent M shaped price block, blackSpidey

 

 

#4 there 4 variants

 

-NewsStand 60cent square price block, barcode

 

-CND NewsStand 75cent square price block, barcode

 

-? Marvel check list should list #4 (I Don't have one)

 

- Not listed 2nd print (baggedSet 3-4-5) DirectSales 60cent M shaped price block, clear Spidey Marvel check list #11

 

 

#5 there 5 variants

-CND NewsStand 75cent square price block

 

- DirectSales 60cent M shaped price block

In Atlanta he told us he had just learned cursive so he could sign his autograph at the show. He said he was up all night practicing. And he asked us if $10 was ok or if it was too much. Cute kid.

awesome! (I'm 39 and I still don't sign in cursive!)

There was a thread in the General Section about foreign books and I posted these so I thought I would copy these over here for you 'Joe fans (a few of these were printed outside the Copper Age, but they are reprints of the original Copper Age books)

It's taken me several years to come up with these and I've managed in some cases to complete full sets of these foreign runs.

Here we go - GI Joe (or in some cases Action Force as it's known in some coutries) around the world

SUPER AWESOME!!!!

Bought this as a 9.4 raw from Peter Palmer

He kindly got it signed by Barbara Eden, Bill Daily and Larry Hagman for me

And here it is

 

This is a sweet book and unbelievable signatures! Absolutely amazing!

Highest graded and only SS!

just sent this to Mark Haspel

 

curious to know what he has to say...

 

He may be forced to report you since these were not to be sold.

 

 

Good point - I don't want to be involved in law breaking, best to just give them too me!

Office copies, and review copies. Marvel used to have a free circulation list of well over two hundred back in the DeFalco era.

At one point, every Marvel employee could get a copy of every book, and they would also send out packages of books to writers and artists that they were cultivating.

Advance review copies were B&W photocopies, as the books were on sale within a day of being printed.

When longtime DC employee E. Nelson Bridwell died, his collection included thousands of Marvels with similar stamps so Marvel might have been sending comp copies across town, or perhaps Bridwell did some horsetrading with his Marvel buddies.

I've got a couple of dozen myself. Some from Carole Kalish, or Lou Banks or Tom DeFalco and some I bought when Bridwells collection was sold by Phil Levine.

 

 

Holy crapola! your depth of knowledge gives me vertigo when i stand on its edge! thanks

I double that crapola! GREAT info! Thanks! (I'm watching these ivegotneatstuff... they will be a cool added piece of triva in my Joe collection!)

I have no idea either... can I ask where you got these? I wonder if these were early preview copies or something?
