    Key Comics #1 - Qualified GD+ - $65 Great GGA cover!! Spine is a bit rough but stable (if it makes sense, the ink is chipping - not paper wear per se), 1-1/4" upper spine split. CF missing. That's why it's cheap. Marry it and make a better book (or just enjoy it for years like I have as-is) BACK COVER:

    Heroes, Inc - Presents Cannon #1 - NM - $20 Uh, not sure if this is even Copper, but it IS GGA. So there. Anyway, it was purchased from a unopened box of books and is in perfect condition. Cool Wally Wood Cleavage Bonanza! If you don't already have one, you should get one. BACK COVER:

    Humbug #7 - VG - $25 I think this cover is very relevant to our times. Also, relevant to drone operators. Anyway, this is a cool Mad Magazine-like book that is comic-sized. It has spine roll and a 1" upper spine split. Otherwise, solid. BACK COVER:

    My list oldie...a Platinum Age gem from 1909! Kellogg's Funny Jungleland Moving pictures - GD - $50 This is quite an oddity. Most "comics" from this time aren't even close to a modern format, but this one is. It's about the same width of a GA book, and about 1" shorter. It's also neat because of it's unique pages. It's hard to describe, but the interior pages are cut multiple times horizontally so you can change and swap the scene/clothing in many different ways. The book does have some tape and one edge as a long spine split. Still a very stable and fun book that looks great in any collection.

    And another oldie....80 years old! John Hix Scrap book #2 - GD $25 Despite the fully taped spine and extra staples, this is a cool book to have. Supple and readable interior. Cover is the same as rear. (so you don't think I posted it twice) Get it just to have a book older than all your others... BACK COVER: (second verse, same as the first)

    Here's a neat one from 1938 - Famous Funnies #50 - GD $20 This book is in great shape for being almost 80 years old. Cover is attached by back staples only, and they are pulling. Spine split to top staple including the first several wraps. Despite that this book is glossy and flat with near-white pages. BACK COVER:

    Air Ace Vol. 2 - #5 & #7 - BUNDLE $15 I think these two books hold the award for being the UGLIEST comic books I've ever seen. Seriously, covers only a mother could love. For that reason they are worth having in your collection. These copies have some tape on them and some spine roll, but are otherwise solid readers.

    The Phantom Witch Doctor #1 VG- $SOLD A Kinstler Classic cover! Awesome see-through dress with cannibal decor throughout. This book has some tape interior reinforcing staples. Bottom popped from front but holding back. Lower spine split sealed. Glossy and lovely though, buy it quick! These scans stink, the book is much nicer in-hand, trust me. BACK COVER:

    Strange Planets #1 VG $15 SOLD TO M2AK1 Awesome Kinstler GGA cover! It's the Poorman's Strange Worlds #3 This issue has tape reinforced staples (top popped) and a few other pieces of tape here and there. Still, very glossy and flat. BACK COVER:

    Last Easy.... Captain Easy #16 FN $45 Pretty solid book here, nice with great interior. Has some spine roll with the last page mis cut so as to have some "extra" paper. If you buy this book, I will give you the option of having it pressed free before shipping to correct the roll. BACK COVER:
  13. Soft-Serve
    Captain Easy #14 - VG+ $45 My favorite cover of the run, actually the exact book that got me into GA GGA collecting! (no joke). Anyway, this book is flat with white pages. Staples have some rust, bottom popped. Still a nice glossy book that has a great story! BACK COVER:
  14. Soft-Serve

  15. Soft-Serve
    Captain Easy #11 VG $50 Nice GGA cover here. Spine has some holes and a small split bottom. Staples are rusty, bottom popped from front only, top soon to be the same. Still a nice presenting issue of a not-so-common book. BACK COVER:

    Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #35 GD $20 Decent copy of an early Barks Wartime WDCS. This copy has a detached cover and a brittle llc, but otherwise present very well. Good gloss and flat. BACK COVER:
  18. Soft-Serve
    World's Finest #158 - VG- $5 Fun campy batman/supes cover. Not my genre or era, but I've always had this book around as my mascot. Now it can be yours. Bottom staple popped, stain rear, otherwise fine. BACK COVER:

    aaaand the last YKC... 1st ISSUE! Young King Cole Vol 1. #1 - FN- $100 Awesome crime noir cover for the debut issue. Pretty nice overall. Tight staples with rust but no migration. Almost white pages. Glossy cover great color. Don't pass up this beaut! BACK COVER:
  21. Soft-Serve
    Young King Cole Vol 2. #1 - GD+ $35 Pretty great cover here, with piece missing and someone's road trip budget written in pencil under title. 1-1/2" tear though "K", short tears along spine (cover only). Staples pulling a bit. Nice colors! BACK COVER:
  22. Soft-Serve
    Young King Cole Vol 3. #3 - VG+ $35 Overall nice book with the only real issue being a short tear mid spine (cover only). Staples are holding, but top staple is popped from front. Solid interior. BACK COVER:
  23. Soft-Serve
    Young King Cole Vol 3. #4 - GD $25 Here's a well-read copy with some creasing. Cover is holding by the top staple, but in the way Indiana Jones hung on to that ledge after falling of the Nazi tank. Just barely. Solid interior though and the cover is, well, the dog's bollocks. BACK COVER:
  24. Soft-Serve
    Young King Cole Vol 3. #12 - VG $35 Last issue of the title! Solid book with some edge tears rear cover. Tight staples with lite rust on the bottom, no migration. The biggest issue is the 2" tear under the "Y". It is confined to cover only and does not go through the book. BACK COVER:
  25. Soft-Serve
