    Incredible Graphic!

    Wayward youth in Brooklyn... I think I can identify with that...
  3. Surfing Alien
    I'm guessing this is the right place for "Project Nightmare" ...

    Speaking of Robert Heinlein... Podkayne in "If" is scarce as all get-out in nice shape...

    So many provacative covers Popkulture... Hey Moonpool... what's with snuggling up to the giant frog???
  6. Surfing Alien
    Great cover! I need me one of those!
  7. Surfing Alien
    Love the early Galaxy's... If you were raised on Heinlein you know there's no such thing as a free lunch

    Here's my "Universe" - it's not the prettiest but i've had it forever and it ain't going nowhere! What a classic!

    Some really nice abstract art covers there. I have quite a few of those that I really like, mostly sci-fi, but the fine art still moves me more in this context...

    I'll trade you my Tarzan B &W #5 in VF for your Poor Superman #1... You're getting the better condition on equal comics in the deal...
  11. Surfing Alien
    Decent copy of a classic Signet...

    Time to rev this Bad Girl up for the New Year...

    I've been looking for 30 years and haven't found a sharper copy. A couple tiny issues but it's a fat book... It doesn't get much better than this if you love fantasy

    Soooooo... back to the cover art... Berkley was a pretty mainstream publisher.
  15. Surfing Alien
    For some reason... I think of this as the "Hello Pal" of vintage paperbacks

    - I've read the classics at least! I thought everyone read "Catcher in the Rye" at some point. My daughter just did in 8th Grade so they're still teaching them in some places! But in that vein - they did manage to attach provocative covers to some classics and more mainstream authors

    They ran that double imprint at least until 671, perhaps THE great cautionary tale against the evils of socialism and correctness...

    Great example...

    Avati was a master painter... Signet published so much "real literature" with provocative covers... not sure many people know that Penguin ran its numbering into Signet ... The early Penguin art covers...as opposed to years of "Title Only" covers, were mostly very simple, but great nonetheless - especially historically important writers like Richard Wright....

    Holden Caulfield with his amazing red cap... how bout that!!!???
  22. Surfing Alien
    Avon Books #305... Move Along... Nothing to See Here... Look closely at it... Mainstream publisher paperback on the newsstand next to the Chiclets in 1950...
  23. Surfing Alien
    You have a dizzying array of books there - this time when you're bagging them, take some closeups to highlight individual books - loving "Rumble on the Docks" and "Play it Cool"!
  24. Surfing Alien
    Great selection - there's something for everyone in there! Love the JD stuff - Gang Girl is classic!
  25. Surfing Alien
    Beautiful copy... blazing color! Action 1 & Det 27, having set such a high amount of headroom - charting out prices so much higher than the top Marvel GA keys, doesn't that create a big gap for these to move up into if markets stay up in general?
