    The Neon Wilderness - aka the poor man's Intimate Confessions #1 One of the many Avon paperback covers that were later re-used on famous comic books. I believe almost all of the paperbacks are the "true firsts" for these covers.

    Classic Gold Key JD, cover by James Meese
  3. Surfing Alien
    At 25 cents a pop, paperback originals were a revolution. The internet of the 1940's - 1990's.

    Nice Gold Medals - lots of great covers - and reads - in that imprint

    Nice find. Although it's "pulpy" looking, Hot Bullets for Love is a grail for vintage paperback collectors.

    As I turned adult...my interests twisted between comics and literature and found they intersected... in vintage paperbacks and digests... I still love my comics but this stuff is damned interesting !!!

    Thanks - that's a 1975 Gibson ES-335. A great guitar that has the soul of an old blues-man in it

    2 Jokers atop a Ferris Wheel in an Amusement Park - what could go wrong? Just a great un-sung cover by Jim Aparo.

    OK - This is my Comic Room - a bit messy - and I share it with some of my music toys and my daughter's stuff - she loves to hang out in here... but I did get to paint it Superman colors Someday i'll get more things displayed... Sorry 'bout the fuzzy pics but I can't get this iphone to take a sharp shot today

    I like the character, love the Ditko art and think Charltons are undervalued in general - but this book has always been so common and unwanted...until now it seems. There were a couple of copies on comic-link a few weeks ago that are gone now - and ebay is pretty barren of decent copies.I guess the market is speaking.

    Ebay Blue Beetle CGC 8.5
  20. Surfing Alien
    I know it's considered silver age but my CGC 8.5 Blue Beetle 1 (1967) with what I thought was a fairly aggressive BIN $159.99 (abt 2X guide) just sold in a heartbeat.
