Thanks Guys.  It may be available on line not sure.  I published three issues and loved every minute of it.  I Worked closely with Jay on art and dialogue but it was largely his baby.  We planned to publish more issues but i was convinced by Diamond [distributor] to switch to four color on issue three.  The additional costs just put me in a position to loose money.  We used a special screen process and special paper on our black and white issues which I think worked well.  Upon reflection should have stayed black and white.

If any one wants a copy just PM me and I will see if I can find some.

I worked with Jay in the 1980's.  We published Lance Carrigan Of The Galactic legion in my comic titled Quest Presents.  He was a joy to work with and a remarkable artist.

Vampirella 23 6.0 $10 Did you see the art for this cover go through the Heritage Auction last week.  Bad timing, I would have like to make a run at it.  Great Sanjulian Egyptian cover.  Vampi stars in "Queen of the Bayou Parish" of course by Gonzalez, and Maroto just keeps kicking it up a notch.  Two copies tonight.

Vampirella 21 7.0 $18 Second Copy This copy looks like a 9.0, but has a hidden water stain at the top of the spine you can see if you open the cover far enough.  Drops it two grades, but looks fantastic, took me awhile to find it.

Just now, Stevemmg said:

Vampirella 19 6.0 $30  The annual issue that everyone wants.  This and the first issue Frazetta cover are the two most recognizable Vampirella images there are.  This one was drawn by Gonzalez, and painted by Enric before Gonzalez took up painting.  The result is glorious.  This book came from ComicConnect aka Metropolis Comics graded as a 7.5, so you get their label as a bonus.  One of these grades is correct, and I'll give you a hint:  mine.  Scans really nice, and all you can hope for in a 6.0 eye appeal.  Just this one tonight.

Vampirella 14 6.0 $18 Another Sanjulian classic and just pops like crazy on that bright blue border.  Esteban Maroto and Mike Ploog come out to play this issue too.  Just this copy.

Vampirella 13 7.0 $25  More Sanjulian cover greatness and Gonzalez Vampi, and we get our first look at Jose Bea's art.  Fantastic.  Remember those who are new, the white covers tend to hide flaws on the scanner, but accentuate the black cover flaws.  That is not a moisture stain on the back, just some kind of stacking "schmootz".  Two to pick from.

Vampirella 11 6.0  $30 A stand-out Frazetta Witch cover of course, the first appearance of long-time supporting character, Pendragon.  I guess we have a little theme tonight, this is a copy that presents like a really strong 8.0, but has a water stain on the back cover that is also visible on the corner of the inside front, but you don't see it on the front cover.  Two point deduction, so a great looking copy for your money.  Just one tonight.

Eerie 53 8.5 $40  Spectacular Sanjulian Mummy cover.  I really wish I could have pulled off buying this when it came through on auction.  I can only imagine how amazing it must be in person.  "Spawn of the Dead-Thing"  by Sutton.  Three copies.

Some, yes.  I'm not sure on the Weird Tales... I think they generally covered just enough to get away with it.  But I really don't know.

A few more Weird Tales covers you might like, these are all by Brundage:

I have most of my pulps with HA they are auctioning some of the Weird Tales the end of the month in their Signature Auction.  It was time to part with them but I will miss them.

Enjoy yours like I did.

The painting is amazing.

The Captain Future run is awesome.

Just spectacular!

Appears to be Jay Disbrow art.  He was working on an opus of Ancient Rome many years ago if memory serves.

I have some nice Weird Tales Pulps in the auction if anyone is interested.

Stay safe

Hey Guys,

Just a note that my Weird Tales pulps are now open on the HA Signature auction for the end of this month.  They listed 27 fine issues in one lot, not happy.

Check them out let me know what you think.

Steve

A book I like a lot but needs a centerfold.  Anyone able to help.

Thanks
