The weekly bump of 5 extra days, now at 257 pure and utter A HOLES. 

That is a ridiculous number.

And that's all!  Thanks to everyone who purchased.  Feel free to pm with any questions or reasonable offers.  

Eerie 55, VF+ 8.5, Another tough black cover, very difficult in high grade.  This copy comes from another collection that was very pretty, of which I only snagged a few dozen issues.  My personal copy is only slightly better than this.  Who doesn't love Ken Kelly for the cover art?  $70

That's a smart grab.  It's yours!  

Eerie 54, VF+ 8.5, Another very cool Sanjulian cover with a tough black border.  These issues in the 50s are a lull in the run for availability (perhaps due to poor sales) and are exceptionally tough in high grade due to the black covers.  This copy comes from the "Plus Tax" collection (although it doesn't have the stamp) that I purchased years ago, all of which were very clean and fresh.  $70

Back Cover:

Eerie 41, VF 8.0, Classic Sanjulian cover and one of my favorites of all the Warren covers.  Nice solid copy with a little bit of distributor overspray on the back cover.  $50

Back Cover:

Vampirella 33, NM- 9.2, an oddly difficult book in anything better than 8.5, this copy is exceptional with great gloss and colors.  You won't see a copy better than this for anywhere near this price.  $100  Sold to jr70

I think you're saying you want these 2.  Is that what you're saying?  I think that's what you're saying.

Nice grab!  It's a pretty copy.  

Alright, that's it for the Men's Adventure mags.  Only a half dozen left to go.

Escape to Adventure September 1959, FN 6.0, More quality material including, apparently, a useful reference to finding companionship when you're in Moscow.  $25  Sold to Jack Linguini

Back Cover:

Action for Men September 1964, F/VF 7.0, Another great cover with Nazis being mistreated by women.  I think this is Charles Copeland for the cover art.  "Call Doll Villa" is just good branding.  The words just flow so well and the message is direct.  It's a lot fancier than calling it a brothel, which is why I approve of it.  $40  Sold to Jack Linguini

Back Cover:

Action for Men March 1961, VG/F 5.0, Nice white cover on this cover that I think is by Mort Kunstler.  5 years being the lone marine on Voodoo Women Island doesn't sound all bad.  $30  Sold to Jack Linguini

Back Cover:

All Man September 1961, VG/F 5.0, due mostly to foxing on the cover.  It's otherwise a very solid copy of a very tough book.  My innocent sensibilities couldn't initially sort out what was happening on the cover until @Stevemmg used his darker imagination to explain it.  It's particularly interesting given this is just a few years after Ed Gein was caught.  All Man is one of the more sought after titles of the genre due to it's graphic content on the covers.  $90  Sold to Jack Linguini

Nice grabs, pal!  They're yours.  

Man's Epic May 1967, VG/F 5.0, It has a book length barely perceptible crease where some scoundrel folded and hid it under his shirt as he brought it home (just a theory) and another long crease on the cover.  Otherwise, a very pretty copy.  I've decided not to read about the sex operation that all men fear.  $60  Sold to Jack Linguini

Back Cover:

Man's Adventure 5/62, VG/F 5.0, A classic cover by Vic Prezio with excellent gloss and colors. $30  Sold to Jack Linguini

Back Cover:

Peril 6/61, F/VF- 7.0-7.5, Nice glossy copy with excellent colors and a few non-color breaking issues. $40  Sold to Jack Linguini

Back Cover:

Thanks for the kind words, guys!  I'm going to list a few Men's adventure mags next.  For those that don't know, most of these are pretty tough in just about any grade.  Trying to find only 9.0+ copies is an exercise in futility.  I've been actively buying these for many years now and I have only a small few that are that high grade.

Warning for small children, some of these covers/headlines are pretty messed up.

I have to move a bunch of choice magazines.  Some highlights so far are very high grade copies of Eerie 7, 9, 10.  More to come.

I'm taking a short break and will resume shortly.  Thanks for looking!  

Eerie 39, VF+ 8.5, An impressive and clean copy of an otherwise very tough black cover. This is one of the tougher books to find in higher grade and the first appearance of Dax. $90

Back Cover:

Eerie 90, NM 9.4, An excellent cover by Richard Corben, the art was so good, they used it twice. This copy has bright colors and gloss and feels very fresh in hand. $60

Back Cover:

Eerie 10, NM- 9.2, another stunning copy with blinding white cover and fresh color/gloss.  $50
