  1. And I'll jump in with the only issue I have, the #1. Writing on the inside shows I paid $4 when I grabbed it a few years ago. I may have mentioned how much I love Kayo Books in this thread a few times before?
  2. ISFDB has John Schoenherr. I just noticed you can see the signature on your version, but it's cut off on mine. Not that I would have been able to identify the artist from "JS". I've got the earlier edition with this cover:
  3. With that said, three cheers to your neighbor who took the time to deliver the books to you, rather than just send the box back, or dump it due to objection to the contents. She's one of the good ones!
  4. Thank you for the clarification. I think everybody is waiting for somebody else to go first. I mostly buy, while I've sold some items on the forums they've generally been people asking me after I post something.
  5. I've only got one issue of Rex, I think I paid $5 or so for it back in the day because it was low grade but still looked fun.
  6. In today. Nothing major, just a UK variant that somehow made it back to me in the US. Bronze, but in the time frame of the general topic:
  7. I should have thought of this earlier... Are we allowed to make "want to buy" posts as well, or do we need to do those over in the Comics Market- Want to Buy thread?
  8. Two in today. The Hidden Treasure book is a little odd, it's a G-Series prefix back when that still actually meant Giant, but it's only 256 pages, which is what the 35c doubles were at this point still. It seems really pricey for the time frame. The D-340 is the next to last D-series SF book I need. Now the copy I thought I had in storage should turn up the next time I get out to check. On a not unrelated note, does anybody have a copy of the D-110 Special Edition of The 1000 Year Plan by Asimov they're interesting in parting with?
  9. Let's give @Comicjack a big hand for those last two covers!
  10. Ah, Super Science Stories. In many ways, a dumping ground for lesser stories big name writers couldn't place elsewhere. Always worth a look, and most issues have a gem hidden, but they can be underwhelming until you figure out what the magazine is like.
  11. There are several new pages, scattered throughout the story rather than a separate chapter. That's assuming you mean this book:
  12. Another Quantrill you can look for, Darwin, with the flip side for completeness's sake:
  13. It's just a wall of text, mostly, with a small single color cameo of the three faces at the top of the front cover.
  14. Today's books. High Heel Homicide, in particular, is just a classic example of a tastefully lurid paperback, isn't it?
  15. Well, I've got complete runs of Two Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, so you can count me among those who appreciate a good war comic. Let's see if I can find a few paperbacks to share as well:
  16. The GCD credits the cover to Sheldon Mayer, which I can see. Although it looks like they credit all the DC Mutt & Jeff covers to him, which I am far more skeptical of.
  17. Oh, and I agree with @grendelbo mostly, 6.0 as is but a C&P would help.
  18. The Shadow book was copyright 1931, since that was the copyright on the original story. It was actually published later, ISFDB says 1933.
  19. It sounds like you do, but since I promised an image when I got home, here's a digest by a paperback anyway:
  20. That’s why I love this forum. Most of us never make it past the Frazetta art to go “there’s a synopsis?”
  21. Digest generally refers to trim size in this context. So the Dell 10c books are a rare example of saddle stitched paperbacks rather than digests. Otherwise, most saddle stitched books are digest size but not all (or even most) digests are saddle stitched. I’ll try to get a picture to compare sizes when I get home if nobody beats me to it.
  22. And if my calculations are correct, no less than 75 of those pages contain posts related to the distribution of US published comics in the UK, at least tangentially.
