I may have shown this before but for whatever reason I feel like posting it now. If it’s a repeat I apologize:

I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours!

The Return of Captain Future is one of the top demand pulp covers these days. My mind boggles at what that would go for if it was on a comic rather than a pulp... -
Comics, Pulps, and Paperbacks: Why such a discrepancy in values?
OtherEric replied to Reno McCoy's topic in Pulp Magazines
About sums up my reaction to the books; I've never read them and don't really want to based on what I've heard about them. Nice copies, though! The quote I've always liked: “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." The one and only Ayn Rand book I own or am ever likely to own: -

In today. Not sure why Amazing Stories have been crossing my path so much recently, but you get what you can find sometimes. This gives me all 5 of the John Carter stories published in Amazing Stories in 1941, although the others are in the original issues, not the repackaged quarterly: -

Flintstones at the World's Fair - 29 cent variant
OtherEric replied to Crimebuster's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
I'm guessing the 1965 banner was to make it look like a new book to people who went to the Fair in 1965; maybe they figured there was a chance to get somebody to buy it twice thinking there was at least some new material. Again, just guessing here: They did the 1st print at 25c, it sold well enough that they decided to bump the price for the 2nd version. That didn't sell as well, so when they went to a 3rd printing for the second year they added the new banner as well as dropping the price back down. It's also possible they printed the covers at different times from the insides, do we have hard info on the printings or is it purely speculative after the fact? -
I can't argue with any of the suggestions so far, other than to note I think the 1st Rocket is probably more in demand than the 1st Starlord. I think Pussycat and Shock Illustrated 3 are probably the grail magazines for a lot of collectors. I wouldn't count it as such, but I think an argument could be made the first few issues of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are closer to comic magazines than standard comics. And if you feel they're magazines the first issue would be super high on the list.

*** MATT BAKER COVERS ONLY NO DUPLICATES***
OtherEric replied to Joshua33's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
And I wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't on the request list on page one of the thread. With no clear faces I've never been able to guess who might have drawn it. -

Authentic Police Cases 26 and 35. I've never been sure if the 26 is actually Baker; but I'm not sure there's much reason to think it isn't, either. -

Where are the Mad Magazine collectors?
OtherEric replied to Doohickamabob's topic in Comic Magazines
@GomerPyleUSMC That book is a thing of beauty, thank you for sharing it with us. Did you get the signatures yourself, or did you buy it with the book already signed, or a combination? -

I really would like to find out the history on how books made it out; if my copy walked out inappropriately I would like to return it if they want it back. I do NOT want to return it if it left legitimately but the LOC is regretting that decision after the fact.

There are a lot of books over at the Digital Comic Museum that were scanned at the LoC. At least a few scanners are able to get there semi-regularly and scan the public domain books.

While I'm quite happy to have the one book I do have, I'm genuinely curious as to why it isn't still in the Library of Congress. The stamp wasn't mentioned when I bought the book, as far as I can recall.

Information? No, but I would love to hear any that another boardie provides. Similar stamp? Yes. November-December 1938 issue of Operator #5.

Finally got a copy of this, I've been looking for this one for a while. Not out of any particularly interest in the Shaver Mystery as such. But I have a friend whose last name is, in fact, Shaver, and I wanted a copy of this book to mess with him. -
Absolutely! And focusing on the Uncle Scrooge run, it's a doable project to get the originals. Not crazy hard but not a run in to any store and just grab them situation either.

Bugs Bunny / Looney Tunes first appearances help

A cheap pickup at my LCS's FCBD sale. I may need to track down a better copy; I really like the colors on the cover of this one: -

Found at my LCS today. Anybody know anything about the title? It's pulp sized, and the edges are untrimmed, but the paper quality is better.
