Ok, So I'll cut the cord right there tonight - I'm being summoned, likely for something that resembles a task Thanks as always for the takes and banter . Youse guys are the best. I think I have enough of a pile of odds, ends and cool detritus to do a listing after work tomorrow, then will wrap this puppy up. The Bin is only slightly deflated though, so don't sweat, there will be more sales

Great choice - be careful... Heade is addictive!

White Slave Racket by Roland Vane. Leisure Library No. 8. 1st print, 1st edition. 1952. $75 SOLD to Comical Situations Classic violent Reg Heade cover art. Wow! When I first saw this cover in the Hancer paperback price guide back in the 1980's, I knew I had to have it. I didn't know who Reginald Heade was since he mostly did British paperbacks and these were for U.S. distribution so a revelation to me along with the Archer Books series. Another warehouse copy that is square and super fresh looking. Spine is slightly warped from glue shrinkage, has a few color skips on the cover and the back cover has some color run on the upper back cover, but super glossy and looks like a new book.

Mary Jane's mom is hot!

Superman Signet D2966 1st Printing May 1966 A killer copy. I'll gladly keep this one. $50 SOLD to goldust40 The Superman Signet one shot. Lightning striking Superman cover.repr It's as tough as the Batman Signets to find unread and the white cover is an extra challenge. Very Fine. Unread, spine is square and perfect. Whites are bright with very light soiling. A touch of edgewear. Pages are creamy off white, inside covers are lightly toned, about the only mention-able detraction at all. The second best copy I've encountered ( the best is in the bowels of the Scrooge McDuck-like Treasure Bin ) It'll be tough to upgrade this one.

Batman vs. The Penguin Signet D2970 Book No. 4 in the 1966 Series 1st Printing May 1966 $30 SOLD to goldust40 Classic Penguin cover - In my experience, this one is tougher to find nice than the Joker cover.
