Those are pretty amazing. How many are the highest graded copy?

Let me know when that one goes up for sale. Nice book. Ed

And neither did the seller. Congrats.

Crisis 1

These two in.

I have this GI Joe and Transformers Limited #4. Not the best cover in the world but two is better than one.

Same to you HOC, I sent a PM on a JLA 7 cover that should go with your coverless. Ed

Quick question. Are there trends with double covers. In other words, is it more likely that one book will have multiple double cover examples vs another issue. At first blush it would seem that if the machine made a mistake once it would do so more than once. Ed

And where are issue 33 and 51? Large Feature 8?

This one is, uhhh... rather compelling.

Mad 36 Patsy Walker 74 and Millie the Model 82

Another high res photo but with only a few books. There's a Mad magazine too at the bottom, a Millie the Model and a Patsy Walker. Website Link

Walt Kelly covers are some of the best, both WDCS and others. I think its just the (deserved) adulation for Barks is typically for his interior work while his covers are often simply good. Other than FC 386, the Scrooge covers tend to be average, while the interiors are genius. The majority of the cartoon books of the 40's were exactly opposite, phenomenal covers (OK, not always) and atrocious interior stories.

I saw some similarities here. I tell you, ounce for ounce some of the other cartoon covers are equal to or better than many of the Barks. If I didn't know about Barks ahead of time, I'd vote for the Bugs Bunny as the better cover.The interiors on the other hand...

Thank you to Welborn for coming up with a coverless Batman 9. Here's a consolidated list of full covers only. Again, I haven't listed the coverless as I imagine it'd really be tougher to find a cover to a coverless than vice versa. These are also issue that may only need a centerfold where a coverless would be useful. Looks like catrick 339 either has a cover for Superman 5 or a coverless Superman 5 not sure what he has but a coverless superman 5 would be needed here twice over.

Atomic Mouse #4 from 1953

Found this photo on a website that is fabtaculawesome. Talk about overall time transport and the photos overall are excellent. Here's the comic one, I'll do the specific comic discovery along with everyone else. Here's the link Link

I had quite a number of good transactions before JF posted an I'll Buy It on a What If lot where he didn't pay. He also showed interest in a Showcase 4 where we sort of agreed to a deal and then sort of not, I forget the details but no biggie there. We also had a good trade where I sent a $700 flash book for an ASM 14 that worked out perfectly just before he left the fold if you will. I'd echo the sentiments to be cautious about buying from JF and sending money first before receiving books. Fool me once and all that. But I've never had a huge problem with folks being non payers. The reputational loss is certainly much greater to the called out non buyer than the minimal time lost and high hopes for a sold book that a seller has to go through. Compared to outright fraud, theft, and misrepresentation; a non purchase is the least of the problems between buyer and seller. So, yes, a deal is a deal and shouldn't be backed out. But I say give the guy a break as a buyer. His money still looks green to me if he's looking for more books. Ed

What is going on with that showcase 4? (Condition wise.)

Bright copper kettles?

Short bus is full up after this stop. Wotalife and Superbrat are #1 issues.

OK, D:ck Tracy is not a short bus comic. This is. And a tough Short bus book to beat. BTW it's for sale now on ebay as part of a short bus lot.

I hear bells.....

He also included the giveaways.
