Oh wow! That Standard Plastics Products Davey carrying case is wild cool and highly coveted by Weird-Ohs enthusiasts (including myself).
Only one I've ever seen.

Was just thinking of my short stint as a legal secretary in Athens, GA, the other day when a pal shared some typewriter rhythms. A friend and I were the only men (boys, lol) in the secretarial pool which is the only aspect of that job I remember with any fondness. Talk about *evil,* I've never been around another occupation so corrupt, and that's saying something. No offense to our fine lawyers here
I'd welcome any more secretary covers...
Not a PB but this is a classic subtile comic cover...

I plan to attend although haven’t bought my ticket yet.
I agree about updating their website. I will go either way but sure would like to know what dealers will be attending. You know, they know by now. Just added incentive for those on the fence. WonderCon was just as bad. No list until a week or so before the show.
A couple years ago, Torpedo pulled the plug on their show. They said it was a “schedule conflict” but I suspect it might have been due to lack of pre show ticket purchases. I believe a lot of folks were waiting to see the dealer lineup. It is, primarily a vintage comic buying show. I would sure like to give my money to CGC at the show for some grading as well!
So, that being said, I will put my money where my mouth is and buy my ticket this weekend.

Nice grab. Love that issue. I’d love it a little more if that sticker was inside or the back cover at least…

I knew you would find this fun. I thought the art in this book might be of interest to comics folks. You just have to be the right age. I loved monsters and cars even at a very young age. The perfect storm.
I have a pretty decent collection of early ‘60’s “monster driving cars” artifacts. Although, my collection has slowed down, I still pick up things here and there.
Although the Roth stuff is top of the heap, I also have quite a bit of “Weird-Ohs”, Lindbergh Loony’s and related stuff as well. Like anything that gains popularity, there are always imitators.

Admittedly, besides EC Comics, GA isn't my bag. I appreciate the era and it's history and creators, but I prefer comics characteristic of my youth.
And I'm not sure if I even heard of Baker until my return to the hobby a few years back. Heck, it might've been @Funnybooks profile pic that initially turned me on to him.
Anyways, whether this is the start of a love affair or not (I understand his draw), I thought my collection ought to have an example of Baker's work in it.
Thanks to @Point Fivefor his advice last week when I was thinking about purchasing this book. And although I found it's contents online to read (https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=21657), it'll be out of the slab and in Mylar by weekend's end.
A great choice and looks wonderful for the number grade. Glad to hear it is being cracked. A good decision. Baker is like crack. Hard to stop at just one.

Thanks for this. Always nice to put the person who put together these collections their rightful place in the hobby.

Amazing how cheap Planet Stories are compared to Planet Comics. Now, due to the great equalizer, graded, slabbed copies, I expect that gap to slowly start coming closer together. At the end of the day when all you have is the cover anyway…

Ah, Super Science Stories. In many ways, a dumping ground for lesser stories big name writers couldn't place elsewhere. Always worth a look, and most issues have a gem hidden, but they can be underwhelming until you figure out what the magazine is like.
I would disagree to a point. Some amazing covers with interior art by Finlay, Paul and Bok. I also enjoy the Ray Bradbury stories although I haven’t read them cover to cover.

I second this. I submitted books at WonderCon and had hoped to do the same at Torpedo. I just don’t like shipping valuble books through the mail. I would think your booth would be mobbed.

I agree with you on the wall book prices. I steered clear of them and spent the majority of my time box diving. And even though I feel I didn’t do as well this year as well compared to last year, I still think it’s a great show.
And yeah it’s funny, Dave Stevens fever was definitely in the air, but of course when I brought some to trade to dealers they were all like “Na, I’m good…”
Like I said, still a fun day out looking for comics! Here were my modest finds:
Smart move on box diving. Love the Jeep and First Love. Wall gazing is generally for suckers or those too lazy to dig the boxes. There was actually a time when virtually nobody looked in the romance boxes. Up until maybe 8 years ago, I was pulling Bakers out of boxes at guide. And guide was real reasonable on most.
Dave Stevens books, (God bless him) are mostly all common as dirt. I still pick up nice copies up at flea markets for a buck apiece.
