Surfing Alien

A steal imho. I already have one or would have been a bidder. He's all over the place on grading and limited pics so there's wariness but lot's of cool stuff. I did win a couple

Probably George Geygan's greatest cover. My copy that I've posted here before is not super high grade but was one of the few books I kept when I sold my 1st collection to John Warren in the 90's. It''s a wraparound so you gotta show 3 views

They sure do A couple more from my Maguire pile for those into such stuff

I've not (yet ) gone down the rabbit hole of the Janson's but have made a fair dent in the Leisure Library and Archer series. Here's a few now that I've unboxed them.

Stylistically I'd guess "Gunsmoke in Her Eyes" The paint shading technique looks cruder

Now 20% OFF everything -including yesterday's listings - I'm going to close the thread out tonight and send invoices. It's been a great ride with great fellow travelers but the thread is getting a bit unwieldy so I'll start a new one next time. Feel free to make offers on anything you fancy. Saving me the time and trouble of loading stuff up to feebay is worth $ off in my book. If you love this stuff, visit the paperback thread in the pulp section. Some great books get posted there

So I mostly post in the Vintage Paperback thread in the pulp section of the boards, but I have (had) a comic room I've posted about way back. Now we're redoing the finishes in our house and the Comic Room is becoming a proper library. Here's the current state of populating the shelves from all our tubs of vintage paperbacks 😁

Last one for tonight and this thread. I thank all who have stopped by, "took", commented and all around made this a fun thing to do Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs Ace 65852 1st Frazetta Ace edition. September 1972 $25 SOLD to mrlatko Classic Frazetta GGA saber tooth and pterodactyl battle cover. An amazing image. One of my best doubles. Very Fine. Glossy and new with great colors. Not even a hint of reader crease or any other creasing for that matter. Off white page quality and light interior cover toning. Tiny stamp to page edge. Killer copy of a 1st Frazetta cover.

Lost on Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs Ace 49503 Undated probably 1974 $10 Frank Frazetta animal fight cover. Later print of the tall Ace edition. Fine plus. Glossy and new looking. Unread with no reader creasing. Tiny rub spotting to the covers. A ding to the upper left with some creasing that doesn't break color that I downgraded for. Super pretty for the grade.

Great off white page quality and light toning to inside covers. Tiny stamp to page edge. A superior copy and well worth a premium.

The Lad and the Lion by Edgar Rice Burroughs Ace 46870 May 1974 $15 Incredibly detailed sanjulian cover art. The first Ace edition and so much cooler than the earlier Ballantine edition. It's interesting which ones Ballantine got the rights to first after Ace had so many first US pbs. Frazetta was done with new covers for Ace by 197 so one of the premier Vampirella artists got the call. Fine plus. Super glossy, appears unread. No spine wear at all. Another one where the front cover looks 10.0. Back cover has very light spotting of color transfer and a couple light finger bends to left corner. Great page quality.

Some kind of storage wear. Tiny stamp on page edge. Looks like a 10.0 from the front.

Fine plus. Super glossy, appears unread. No readers creasing at all. Has a ding to the lower left corner with light creasing and some light edgewear at bottom edges. Tiny stamp on page edge. This is a stunner overall with off white pages that are very unusual.

Out Of Time's Abyss by Edgar Rice Burroughs Ace 64482 March 1973 $20 SOLD to mrlatko First Frazetta cover edition.

I found another, better copy so offering it here. Very Fine minus. Super glossy, appears unread. Has tiny bits of rubbing wear that actually look far worse in pics than in hand. Tiny stamp on page edge. This is a stunner overall with off white pages that are very unusual.
