This reminds me of:

This is one of my fav all time covers. What a beautiful book!

Ah, the good stuff is really coming out now!

You've got some amazing comics

That cover has always seemed so real to me (maybe too real) because of her arms and the torn dress. Many bondage covers are chilling, but usually you see the girl at the beginning, not after captivity. It's really amazing to me the imaginations they had back in the golden age. Nowadays, art is more explicit but tamer.

I like this version too:

Lady In White -- Additions Here are additions to my Lady in White collection (@miraclemet). To qualify for this set, the cover has to have a gothic feel to it, with a damsel in distress wearing a flowing white dress or gown. The books have to be at least 9.0 (not for gold though, but I haven't found any gold yet that qualifies). I'm thinking of easing up on the color requirement, as there are some covers that have that "gothic" feel with the damsel wearing a gown other than white. Here are the list of comics that qualify for the set, at least the ones I've found so far. It's a short list, unfortunately. If you know of others, please let me know! I'm particularly interested in golden age comics. The closest I've found is Venus #1, but I decided it doesn't qualify because she doesn't look in distress.

More in the "Bondage Tied to a Wheel" category

this one is chilling

Here's one from Mexico. To me, branding is one of the most dastardly (and disturbing) because even though it's not lethal (usually) it's permanent.

In mine too. But unlike Bakers, you can always get new bottles (except for Pappys ....)

I collect bourbon.

I so get that! Both the working stiff part, and the parting with part!

Good idea but I did that last year when I sold 25,000 comics to a local dealer. I couldn't bear to part with anything else. Well ... maybe I could sell some of those CGC comics. When I first caught the CGC bug I was buying and grading everything. There's stuff that really don't fit my collection and I wouldn't mind selling. But in my ideal world, I'd sell those comics when I retire and fund new purchases entirely with comic sales, the way @Ricksneatstuff does it.

You're right, I'm space limited. To deal with that, I've had to make choices about what to collect. For example, I've pretty much stopped collecting Star Wars and Star Trek action figures. For Star Trek, I'm limiting my collection to just the Playmates figures, and not all of them. I've capped my Star Wars collection in a similar manner -- I've essentially picked an arbitrary point and not collecting anything after that point. The same is true for DC Direct, Marvel Legends, etc. As for comics, I'm not buying anything new (with a few exceptions, like Terry Moore and Optic Nerve). I am buying old stuff though. Some of my projects are: Completing Tomb of Dracula (just need 1, 3, 7 and 33) Completing Strange Tales - all the issues after Dr. Strange's 1st appearance (need 9 more issues) Completing Tales of Suspense - all the issues after Iron Man's 1st appearance (need 18 more) Getting all the early appearances of the Teen Titans But this doesn't take more space, as there's room in the existing long boxes. I'm also focused right now on GGA and keys, but I have a lot of room on shelves for both CGC books and raw. A storage issue I have in the future is what to do with my miscellaneous comic alphabet (12 long boxes), magazines (8 mag boxes) and CGC boxes (about 12 of them). I think I can fit the CGC boxes in closets of our beach house. The other stuff will probably have to go in a storage unit somewhere.

Thank you for saying that because I've been thinking I paid too much for the Junie given the condition.

Stuff On Shelves 1A and 1B As shown in the map, Shelves 1A and 1B are next to each other. In addition to displaying things, Shelf 1B acts as a wall for the upstairs. Here's a view of the side of Shelves 1A and 1B. This picture is taken on the ladder going up to Upstairs. Here are some pictures of Shelf 1A. It shows what you see if you're sitting at Desk 1. I display my vintage Star Wars playsets on these shelves, along with a variety of comics, statues, cards and other stuff. I store most of my statue collection in Shelf 1B. Here's what you see if you're looking at Shelf 1B from Desk 2. Thanks for reading.

Nice!

And here's the major addition this week. @comicnoir posted it in the Dastardly GGA thread (https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/417435-dastardly-gga-bondage-covers/?page=4) and I knew I had to get me a copy. The story that goes along with the cover is pretty gruesome (although so far I've only had a chance to skim it).

New Comics Thursday Here's some comics I got in the mail this week.

I had boxes that looked just like @Robot Man. But I sold them along with about 25,000 other comics to a local dealer last year. The boxes contained stuff you'd find in 50 cent boxes at cons. Before selling, I went through the boxes over and over again to make sure I had everything I wanted. In one of the last checks, I found this, which I later sent to CGC. Thank god I found it!

I'm having con-withdraws since I'm not going to a con this summer. So to help I put together this wall of comics:. Enjoy!

Tour of the Nook Facing you as you walk into the nook (Shelf 8 in the map) are my raw Matt Baker comics (upper shelf) and raw Fiction house comics (lower shelf). Also displayed are some of my favorite graded Baker comics. The graded comics can be removed, and behind them (in Shelf 9) are my Modesty Blaise and paperback collection. I'll talk about them in a future post. In Shelf 7, I store my Betty and Veronica collection, and my Schomburg comics and Frazetta comics. Here's a view of Toys (in the map) from the nook:

Great sales thread to put some excitement into a Tuesday. Thanks!

Any more Bakers or Fiction House?
