  1. Ouch! I was lucky enough to obtain 143ksk's under copy four years ago. Completing a mere three issue Jetta set is extremely tough. Took me several years to obtain the three issues. Was some Jetta OA on heritage several years ago. The seller is located in Italy. Poste italiane took three months to deliver a letter to me from Rome.
  2. I took a shortcut and pulled pictures off wikipedia. Thanks for sharing your scans. My copy of Tales of the Incredible is stored at a different location. I remember these paperbacks from my childhood and soon afterwards the Batman Signet reprints. Back then, 50 cents was a small fortune.
  3. There were five paperbacks printed in the sixties with EC reprints. The two above and these three. The covers to the last two were painted by Frazetta.
  4. For precode horror, this Reed Crandall story from Out of the Shadows #9 ranks among my favorites.
  5. Looks like an exceptional copy. The auction had four bidders at $721 and over and a fifth bidder at $695. Luckily, I complete the My Friend Irma run in 2013 and found the last issue I needed for $5.
  6. According to The Art of Dan DeCarlo, by Bill Morrison, "Dan's first assignment was for Jeanie, one of Timely's seemingly endless line of teenage humor books." He drew like the other Timely staff and had not developed his unique cartoon style.
  7. I can't believe a FN- copy of Hedy of Hollywood #36 went for $611. I am glad that I already have a copy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hedy-of-Hollywood-36-Rare-Dan-DeCarlo-Art-Millie-Marvel-Timely-Teen-1950-FN-/141546355271?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item20f4d1fa47

  9. I purchased this from MrBedrock at 2014 SDCC.
  10. Michael sent the book right away. Book was extremely well packed with Masonite boards and painter's blue tape to make it easier for me to remove the book. Additionally, Michael placed the bagged comic book within a magazine bag. Thanks for the super duper transaction.

  16. Do any of my fellow boardies have a copy of this book in Swedish or German on Carl Barks oil paintings? I have the Another Rainbow book, but was curious about this book,"Carl Barks - Die Ölgemälde," in German. I did a search on the forums, but could not find anything. Thanks! http://sekvenskonst.blogspot.com/2012/03/carl-barks-paintings.html

  21. In James Halperin's collection, splash from "Food for Thought" by Al Williamson and Roy Krenkel from Incredible Science Fiction 32 is on my list of greatest splash pages of all time. The inking is among the best that I have ever seen.
  22. I have three copies of this issue, since it contains "Precious Years."
