Robot Man

Flea market finds this weekend!

V1#1 1939 Cool nude girl in a tube cover. Has Paul illustrations inside + an ad for the premier issue of MLJ's Blue Ribbon Comics.

V1#2 1940 Love the aliens on this cover. Has interior illustrations by Paul and Biro. Also has MLJ comic ads.

Score #2 different guy. Couple of cool pulps for a 5 spot apiece. He had more later issues but they just didn't excite me so I left them for the next schmoo (I ain't greedy)

Well, Robotman scored yesterday morning at the flea market. Got these 4 Manhunts + about 6 other not so exciting GA comics for a 10 spot each! I didn't have any of these in my collection and have been looking for a while. I guess it pays getting up at 4:00 AM, putting on a jacket and driving up there!

These are real underrated. In addition to great covers, they have L.B. Cole and Fred Guardenieer stories with good content.

#2 Great GGA Electric Chair cover!

#4 Been looking for this "surealistic" cover

#6 Best cover in the run. This was actually an upgrade for me.

#9 Never seen this one before. Very creepy cover!

The only "high grade" one I have I posted a few months ago, but I do have more:) I've been trying to find time to scan them, but that never happens...so here are some pictures:) sorry the pictures are not better.

 

Love those Sharon. Gotta get me some Banner comics. The only Super Mystery that I want and don't have is that one with the girl on the table with the spikes on fire about to come down on her. I think it is V2#6. There is one that keeps getting relisted in fleebay but the guy wants too much and it has pieces replaced that he isn't disclosing. I'll hold out for a better one.

Not super hero fare, but Ace publishing for sure!

Hap, post your #14 with the great Feldstein cover. I don't have mine handy.

i bought this little rag last nite for a whopping $84 just so g.a.tor wouldn't own them all.

 

I love it. Just under the word comics some kid stamped his Don Winslow Initial Anchor stamp. Guess he was a real Fawcett fan!

Here's a robot for ya...

 

Now only if Andy Panda was in bondage...

Wow, is that from the RJD collection?

Here are a couple...

Beat but complete. One of my favorites. (thumbs u

 

 

It's fun whenever I discover one of my books were previously owned by other board members.

 

I put the interior with the one on the left, but I'm not sure what the best decision is. Stupid pencil marks...

 

 

I love that book and still am searching for one. One of these days...

A few scarce St John Giants

Ernie photographed my Windy City St.John giants. These are nice - any chance you remember when you acquired them, Bob?

Hi Gary. I've has some of these so long I don't remember where I got them. Do any look like Windy copies?

If your collection is as big as I think it is..you are gonna crack 100K views by the end of the year...I just might have start adding my stuff to this thead...and we will make it 200K in a year..

I really don't care Mitch. I'm not here for numbers. You are welcome to contribute anything to this thread (or anyone else for that matter). I'd love to see everyone's stff and hear some stories. I know you got both!

Yeah, but I don't think I will be cutting out a coupon outta one of my Caps to do so. The ads for this kit are great in the comics!

May 1935

 

 

I love the Spicey's! This is a nice one. Wish I had more. The contents are pretty racy as well. Irarely run into them any more...

I'm sure there are more out there. Until today you didn't know about this one. I got mine years ago and don't really keep track any more. I love Giants/annuals and was on a tear years ago. I believe I have most of the St John ones in all genres. Glad I got them when they were under the radar!

Now who the hell is Theo Holstein again???

 

Here's an early Theo "outing" in Overstreet - as an advertisement:

 

 

There's a certain attraction to buying and selling with this guy. Just cannot put my finger on it . . .

 

Even the makeup of the ad is a trip down memory lane - who remembers Letraset?

I'm trying to get it out of my mind and and there you go doing that again...

Yeah, I'm a graphic designer from way back in the day. I used to use Letraset, amberlith, rapido graph pens ect. I love the psychedelic font he used for his name!

A couple GGA "weird machine" covers. I love both these books! What the heck are these machines? Anybody got any more?

 

Briefer designed this Destruction Ray Machine which was featured in Rex Dexter.

Yeah, that is cool. Wasn't it something printed in comic books that you cut out and put together like a paper doll? Weird machine for sure.

Love that Hickory! Probably the best cover in the run.

I have a few Blankiss Salida books I got from Metro a few years ago. Like the marks and some of the whitest pages I have ever seen! I've wanted a Green River book but never see any for sale either.

How does CGC recognize Kansas City books? I don't believe they are marked and were found by the Thompsons so long ago. I didn't think they even documented them. I think I might have a Capt. Marvel that I got in a trade from Don Thompson a hundred years ago at San Diego con I believe.

 

I started a "type" collection like Strawman years ago but kind of gave up when I couldn't find (or afford) many of them.

 

Now, I pretty much go for the ones with distinctive markings (Larson, Okajima, ect.)

 

I do have a Famous Funnies can't remember which issue off the top of my head, that I have the Lost Valley, Mile High, and Central Valley copies of. Would like to find more copies of that issue I don't have.

 

I'm a big fan of markings and names myself. I really don't have much interest in owning Mile High/Church copies that aren't coded, as I love those markings and "Larson" so much

 

I too love the markings and names. When I found the Guy Holcombe collection I felt an immediate bond with the former owner of the books. My favorite Windy Citys are the ones with the A Wallace neatly penciled in the logo. Most of these are late 40s and early/mid 50s. Here's the sig from Flyboy 1 (courtesy of Pedigree Man).

 

I've never owned a Windy City book. I have held out for a cool marked one but have had little success. One of these days the right book will come to me.
