looking out from inside the cave covers

two "looking out from inside a cave" covers

always liked this "ambush" cover !!

Combat Kelly's are tough to find in higher grade... i never really liked their covers that much compared to other Atlas war covers ...

i collecte ones recently before i finally turned them in , had $1800 ! included 3 "where's George " bills , which i saved...

i bought that one off the shelf back when , but i was afraid that if my mom saw it she would throw it away...i covered up the middle finger with some packing tape

my all time favorite cover ! yours could be @ 5.0

doubtful a CPR would help this NM range book

VF 8.0 range

cpr almost always bumps up a book a half grade , 9,0

Frankenstein Jr. cover !! wonder if there is a third generation Frankenstein lll ?

CGC would probably give this a 6.0 out of niceness...

VG cool book !

just a good 2.0 but it's a Schomburg !!

VF , common book

wow nice key in nearly fine

mid NM range

6.5 Mylites rule !

unlike today, in the 70's there was really no way to read early Marvel issues unless you had the reprints like Marvel Tale, Marvels Greatest or Marvel Superheroes, and even then the only way to read AF15 or Spiderman #1 was if you had Marvel Tales #1 which was a higher priced book even then , one of the few other options was the Stan Lee "origins" book issued in 1974 but that book was also $7 which was a princely sum for a 13 year old back then when a giant three musketeers bar was only a dime/15 cents, and a pinball game was only a dime or 3 for a quarter

i remember that too !! back in the mid 70's was before most stores put a sign up saying "only two kids allowed in the store at one time" and justifiably so as 14-16 year old boys are prone to shoplift , i am sure he got ripped off many times which ruined the vibe for the young honest customers all the good comic he kept behind the glass at the counter , i remember he had a fine X-Men #1 for $20 which was way out of my budget .....

i'm from Lansing, Curious book store was my LCS, three stories tall ! mags in the basement, books on the ground floor , comics up top it's still there but hardly any comics nowadays, i don't know how he has stayed in business all these years

it seemed that one song in particular was always playing every time i went to my LCS back then, whenever i hear this song it reminds me of my LCS Miracles (Jefferson Starship song) "Miracles" is a song written by Marty Balin and originally recorded by Jefferson Starship, appearing on its 1975 album Red Octopus.[2] "Miracles" peaked at number 3 for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the highest-charting single the band ever recorded under the name Jefferson Starship or its previous incarnation Jefferson Airplane

My LCS was 4 miles away and i used to ride my bike there every week with my paper route money years 1974/75, i bought a lot of Marvel Tales and Marvels Greatest back issues because of course i could not afford the originals ... one day my bike had a flat and i didn't yet have a spare so i walked all the way to my LCS and back

9.0 most likely
