A few magazines in this thread.

I want the squirrel monkey. I don't care about the stories. Jeff Tuthill ordered one for about $25 in the early 1970s. Not wanting his parents to know, he had it shipped to his friend's house:

Now I just need my stimulus check.

Frazetta's original cover for "Flashman at the Charge" by George MacDonald Fraser. (Signet, 1974, 15x23 oil on board) Frazetta's painting for Flasman at the Charge perfectly captured the essence of Fraser's rougish character. Flashman spends half the novel in stark terror (as one of the "nobel 600" at the infamous charge of the Light Bigade and, subsequently, as a prisoner of the Russians), and the other half chasing anything remotely female. As was his habit, Frank reworked the painting slightly after publication. "Pleasing the art director was one thing," Frazetta notes, "but I didnt think anything of scrapping the whole thing when I got it back. I've got to live with it, not them. If something doesnt look right to me, like the girl's face in the Flashman painting, I'm going to change it." Excerpt from "Legacy" edited by Arnie & Cathy Fenner.

This is back up for sale so maybe the buyer came to his senses or it was never real to begin with.

The rules of the probation list need to be followed and it appears that is what has taken place. It is what it is.

Has the OP given any kind of list other than the two books he posted?

I paid about $100 each for my 5.0 and 6.5 about 4-5 years ago. One of these days I should buy the graders notes on these. I thought they were nicer.

Not magazine specific, but why not. This is from the Frazetta Museum facebook page posted by William Frazetta. "Frazetta's original cover painting for 'Conan the Buccaneer' was loosely inspired by one of his own illustrations for the Canaveral Press edition of 'Tarzan and the Castaways'. Certainly a far more complex composition than many of his other book covers of the same time period, Frank's painting electrified audiences and revitalized sales of the flagging 'Conan' series. Fans rejoiced, the publisher was ecstatic, but Frazetta was not satisfied: something just didn't look right. When the original was returned to him Frank repainted the barbarian's face and helmet, adding armor to the figure and detail to the necklace. Still sensing that the work was unbalanced he ultimately elected to remove the barbarian entirely and start over. The painting in its present form is entitled 'The Destroyer' and is easily one of Frazetta's most popular works. Neither version shown on these pages stil exists. [Fenner] still like[d] the first rendering a great deal, almost as much as the revised canvas, and said as much to Frank during a visit to his home. Without turning his head, he shot [Fenner] a sidelong glance and growled simply, "It was ." Excerpt from 'Testament' (Fenner, 2001). My grandfather would often change pieces of artwork when they returned from the publisher, and I always get questions (often asked in frustration) as to why he would do it. There could be a few different reasons: first, he knew he had to do them for a publication, so certain things were off-limits (ie nudity such as in Cat Girl); second, in the case of 'The Destroyer', he liked to make sure most of his paintings gave each side a fighting chance. Originally, the barbarian was choking someone in the middle of a battlefield, unarmed. Sure, Frazetta painted fantasy, a genre in which anything is possible, but he still liked to err on the side of reality-- no one was immortal, and that included the barbarian. The third major reason for his changes, and the most important one, is that he just simply didn't like the first version. Whether it was due to licensing constraints or "bad" ideas, the first one didn't speak to him, so to make himself happy he'd redo it.

The thought of that makes me want to puke.

Its really seems like the price has only recently really ramped up. It feels like in the last year it has just really taken off.

Look at this thing that went for $200. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-1969-Vampirella-1-Comic-/324106765582?hash=item4b7644c50e%3Ag%3AxbYAAOSwIxVeZpR6&nma=true&si=6s5jYE4srNIV8EYNf157Lpq976U%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Of couse when you look at all 4 of them next to each other they sure look pretty.

Absolute rags are going for close to $200.

I have the Warren Years.

I would not pay anywhere near top dollar for that. Sure if i could get it super cheap, but otherwise thats a hard pass.

Some states also have additional resources available to small businesses. Don't forget to check that as well.

I saw him walking out back with a shovel.

Good catch. That does not look normal in any fashion.

Any guesses on final price? https://www.ebay.com/itm/VAMPIRELLA-1-13-MAGAZINE-FULL-RUN-LOT-Frank-Frazetta-Warren-1st-Print-HI-GRADE/313043083226?hash=item48e2d25fda:g:ujkAAOSwT9NeYvMl

There are some high grade mags in this thread. Its a big thread though. Good luck.

Thats not how this works. While you can certainly have your opinion and share it, you don't get to decide "he did nothing wrong" and that everyone else should stop talking about it. Clearly some people differ in their opinion.

Can we please stop with this. Its just ridiculous. People are selling and buing comic books. If issues arise they get talked about. We don't ignore it because more important things are going on in the world. There are ALWAYS more important things going on in the world.
