Vampirella 3 (French), 7.0. Nice looking copy with some sort of schmutz on the cover. Otherwise solid and tight with white pages. These French copies are pretty tough in grade. And this cover is the classic Frazetta cover used from Vampirella 5 in the US. $70 Sold to mrlatko

French Vampirellas I've listed many of these on the boards over the years. They're the first major publication of Vampirella outside of the US. They were printed with heavy cardstock covers and excellent paper quality inside. As such, they're very hard to grade as that cardstock shows pretty much every little thing. Very cool covers, mostly reused from US issues. Here are 3 issues I have available this evening.

Weird, Vol. 1, No. 11 (essentially issue 2), NM+ 9.6. Just a stunning example of this book which you never see in this condition. The census only has a single 9.6 and the next highest graded is a single 9.0. The cover is glossy with great colors. $400 Sold to artifiction

Epic Illustrated 34, 8.0-8.5. Another great looking book with fresh qualities but some non-color breaking issues and a little bit of soiling on the back cover (visible in scan). As the last issue in the run, this issue is a little bit more challenging in high grade. Also, includes a chapter of “The Last Galactus Story” by John Byrne. It's a real cliffhanger! $30 Sold to mstrange @ 20% off

Marvel Super Action 1, 7.0. Solid and tight with nice gloss and color. Early Punisher appearance. $50

Marvel Super Special 2, VF/NM 8.5-9.0. Cool wraparound cover with color interiors by the immortal John Buscema. $30

Creepy 27 (Spanish), VF- 7.5. Bright and fresh with full color and gloss. Another pretty cover by Boris that I haven't seen anywhere else. For some reason, I didn't scan the back but it's pretty clean, nothing to note about it. $40

Creepy 23 (Spanish), FN- 5.5. Bright and fresh with full color and gloss. Beautiful cover by Boris which I haven't seen anywhere else. $20 Sold to TheComicsPreacher @20% off

Creepy 17 (Spanish), VF- 7.5. Very pretty copy with minor spine wear. Cover by Enric (pretty sure this wasn't reprinted anywhere else). And that back cover will wake you up in the morning. $55

Creepy 16 (Spanish), VF 8.0. Beautiful glossy cover with full color. A killer cover by Richard Corben that I haven't seen used anywhere else. $60

Creepy 8 (Spanish), VG/F 5.0. Solid copy with minor wear for this copy. Cover by Enric. $15

Creepy 5 (Spanish), F/VF 7.0. Another cool cover by Rowena. Nice glossy copy with bright colors. $40

Creepy 4 (Spanish), VG/F 5.0. Classic cover by Sanjulian, originally used on the US copy of Vampirella 23. Nice solid copy but for some soiling on the back. $20

Creepy 3 (Spanish), FN 6.0. Gorgeous black cover by Rowena. That's stacking wear on the back cover (does not transfer through to the inside). $35

Spanish Creepy The following are a few Spanish issues of Creepy. For those who haven't pursued these before, as a collector, you can pretty much forget about getting 9.4s and 9.6s. You're lucky to find 8.0s and 8.5s of these books. Most of the copies I've found are in the 4.0-7.0 range. But the covers to these books are pretty amazing and many weren't published anywhere else by artists like Boris, Rowena, Corben, Enric, Sanjulian and more.

Thanks, Jim!

That's it for now. Much, much more coming later today.

Eerie 8, NM- 9.2. This classic Frazetta cover is one of the toughest Warrens in nice shape. This copy is nice and glossy with excellent colors. Best of luck to anyone looking for a better copy. $250 Sold to JustJimN

Eerie 7, VF+ 8.5, Classic Frazetta Sea Witch cover. An extremely fresh and exceptionally high grade looking copy with the exception of a subtle bend/indentation at the top of the book, not visible in scan (the sort of thing that would press out easily, if one is interested). Bright and glossy, without that indentation, this would be a 9.4-9.6. $180 Sold to dover

Words to live by.

@moonpool has a very impressive collection of rare Heade. Books you practically never see for sale.

Yes, that's a very common and very understandable mistake. I thought the same thing until coming across an interview with Ellison discussing that same confusion. What makes it even more challenging is that, as James correctly noted, they both had their heyday with JD material. Pretty easy to conflate the two.
