A coveted Romance comic need neither be a Baker nor LB COLE to motivate / compel the viewer to own it. This is a prime example of such a captivating cover, which I have only seen once and here it is. TEN-STORY LOVE #3 (1952 ACE) - Artist unknown despite my research Grade: Fine Minus/Fine - Glossy, tight and fairly supple with cr/ow pages. Some foxing on the interiors and BC. That chip you see on the bottom edge of the BC is not a chip but a very small piece folded / flapped over (I did not try and push it down and it remains there now). FC presents higher-grade. Nice staples and nice spine. Interesting note about the panel art is there is a lot of dialogue in each panel. 100% complete with no restoration. Asking Price: $300.00

Thank you ThothAmon. Winner on all 4 GGA comics! enjoy

As a dear friend of mine would say when posting a special book...."I don't mind keeping this one." LOVERS #64 (1954 ATLAS) Classic gray-tone Colletta cover Grade: VF-/VF but with a press I suspect a true Near Mint Minus / NM copy Book is unreal / a freak. Feels like it came off the press today. Trace wear with just a bunch of non-color breaking bends and a slight spine roll on FC with a gorgeous BC. Super glossy, clean, tight with snow-white interior pages. Date stamp on top of cover. 100% complete with no restoration. Superb interior art here. Asking Price: $800.00 (a show and tell book)

To quote the prior owner this is an "uber-rare" Canadian comic TRIUMP COMICS #9 (no date nor publisher given but it is circa 1950s - classic Al Feldstein Junior) Grade: GD/VG at least Very solid, supple, fairly glossy and tight. Book just has evenly distributed wear on both covers with a 1/2 inch top spine split. Some staining on back cover. A press and cleaning would help. 100% complete with no restoration. Asking Price: $------ SOLD

Cannot have a GGA thread without a Baker DIARY SECRETS #13 (1952 ST. JOHNS) Classic Matt Baker cover - gray-tone Grade: VG Minus at least Front cover top section shows more wear near the title area with stains, color and paper loss. BC is nice with a small stain spot and thus buoys the grade call IMO. Bottom staple is detached from the FC but the rest of the staples remain tight throughout. Fairly nice spine with wear on both tips. Manufacturing bleed-through on interior of FC. The main GGA image area on the FC remains very glossy. This is a supple comic with close to white pages. 2 clean staples. 100% complete with no restoration. Asking Price on a HTF issue: $------- SOLD

Next up... TRUE SECRETS #36 (1956 ATLAS) Grade: Fine Fantastic Colletta romance cover with superb interior art. Super glossy, tight, sharp copy with supple ow/w pages. Light general wear with light foxing on interior covers. A press will help the appearance due in-part to slight spine roll. Small light stain on top right corner area of BC. 100% complete with no restoration. Asking Price: $150.00

DOGFACE & BRENDA SOLD PER PM Some more HTF classic GGA's to be listed this evening too

Brenda Starr Vol2 No4 (Superior Comics (Canadian Pub), 1948) Grade: VG/FN due to a prior owner having drawn lines on the title otherwise higher grade Supple Off-White to White pages. Not only was this book used in Seduction of the Innocent, it has one of the all-time classic Jack Kamen art headlight covers. Seller's Notes: This is a very solid, glossy, supple and tight copy. "But for" the scribbling lines that a prior owner drew in the title BRENDA STARR (in pencil and than in red) this would certainly grade much higher. There is also some pencil markings in-between the two doctors. 2 tight staples are dull on the outside but tight throughout. Interior side covers and back cover have light foxing. This comic is 100% complete with no restoration whatsoever. ASKING PRICE: $350.00 SOLD
