I purchased this pulp magazine at 2017 OAFCON from a woman who was selling her father’s collection. Cover was painted by Allen Anderson.

I noticed the listing of CGC dealers on the CGC website is not complete. Several years ago, A1 Comics submitted a comic book to CGC for me. My lcs is a CGC dealer, but not listed on the CGC website.

As usual, my esteemed colleague, Professor Sqeggs is correct. https://inducks.org/fr/richard/barks/censored.html Swiped from Donald Duck's Atom Bomb Cereal Comic. Used this photo shopped panel before, but worth seeing again.

There was a slightly lower grade copy on CC, but the book was miscut, so I sniped this book from Heritage. I still have my reader copy that I bought in the 70’s.

Here is a link to the variants. Some are really expensive at much more than the regular $9.99 price. For example, Neal Adams variants signed by him and graded at 9.8 are priced at $350. Detective Comics 1000 variant covers.

Andy Not my picture, but I do have a copy.

Last year, DC produced a poster with covers to Action 1-1000. Unfortunately, Detective Comics 1-1000 will not be featured on a poster. There will at least 80 variant Detective 1000 covers.

Just watched Rollerball 1975 for the umpteenth time, saw this scene, and immediately thought of Mr Bedrock.

Only two copies in the Heritage archives. March 8, 2009 CGC 3.0 $896.25 May 10-11, 2012 CGC 4.5 $2868.00 I was the underbidder on the May copy. They sold a coverless copy in 2002, but the sale does not show up in the auction archives.

Even Bill Gaines did not have any Gaines File Copies. I saw the late Gary Arlington looking for a copy at one of the last Wondercons in San Francisco. Good luck in your search.

Dennis King's store is known as D King Gallery located at 2284 Fulton Street in Berkeley. His phone is 510 5481062. His store carries comics, sports and nonsports cards, and one of the largest collections of rock posters that I have ever seen. I have been a customer for over 40 years. Hours are listed as Thursday to Saturday 12-6. Call first. House of Comics is pretty good too.

Terry, I won't make this show but will see you at SDCC. At SD Comic Fest, Bill Schelly is the fan guest of honor and wrote a brand new biography of James Warren. Perhaps bring a large selection of Warren magazines. All the best, Ray

Looks like Stan Goldberg art on the cover to me. I have a complete run of Dan DeCarlo Millie the Model comics. This cover was not used on any US Millie the Model comic. What is on the inside?

Just received an e-mail from a vendor that I know. Anybody going? https://www.sdcomicfest.org/

You, sir, are a real brain. I agree with you. Would the binary variable be the reduction in price due to being a PLOD?

You can build a regression model using the following formulas. y=PLOD prices x=Blue Label prices n=number of sample points I prefer a multivariate approach.

From GCD This cover is from the opening Shuster panel in the Superman story in Action Comics (DC, 1938 series) #10 (March 1939). Per Comic Book Marketplace (Gary Carter, 1990 series) # ?, Leo O'Mealia's son Leo Jr. uncovered evidence of his father's work on this cover from his records. Per Alter Ego (Twomorrows, 1999 series) #27 (August, 2003), Ken Gale and Rich Morrissey interview Vin Sullivan who remembered O'Mealia. Rich then states that O'Mealia photostatted and cut out the Shuster work from the first panel from Action #10 for the cover and drew the ornate detailing surrounding it. O'Mealia may have retraced the photostat or done some retouching of the figure and building backgrounds. Sullivan did not seem to recall the events of the cover. We previously credited Shuster alone, then O'Mealia alone. https://www.comics.org/issue/470/

US Postal Service from overseas. Contents fell out, but vendor replaced items right away. Bad things happen all the time. Remain calm and carry on.

I have a Gottlieb El Dorado pinball machine from 1975 in my living room. While in college, I played El Dorado for six straight hours on one quarter. When I left, I still had nine replays on the machine. The replay counter only went up to nine. The machine has four flippers and fifteen drop targets on an asymmetric playing field. You had to knock down all fifteen targets to trigger the special and really rack up the replays. I have gotten the special and nine replays on the first ball. My college roommate was a much better pinball player than I. I can still remember the juke box playing "Pinball Wizard" by The Who. "Since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. From Brighton down to Soho I must have played them all..."

My mother tossed my King Zor out when I left for college. It was in really nice shape in the original box. We used to take it out to play for special occasions. My late father ran all over downtown to buy me one for Christmas in 1962. The first one broke right away, so my father exchanged the broken one for a working one that lasted for years.

My favorite of all the Avons. Not my copy, but I do have a beaten up reader copy purchased from Brian Peets of A1 Comics way before I joined the boards.

I was one of the customers competing with you for Barks books back then. I did buy a Four Color 79, Riddle of the Red Hat, from Beerbohm, which I later traded to Yosemite Sam Campbell for one of my two copies of Four Color 9 Pirate Gold. Unfortunately, my copies of Four Color 9 have not appreciated in value.
