SOLD! Two issues of Monsters Attack #1 and #2 1989 Globe Pubs Wild monster stuff with art by Ditko, Severin and Gray Morrow among others. Great stuff if you are a monster fan! Both are bright, clean and read only once by me. #2 has a slight bend at bottom due to sloppy storage. (sorry). Not creased and could be pressed in you choose. At bottom is my current "pressing device" if you want me to do it for you... $25.

(starting bid $100-150K). Wonder what it went for? Seems like a great deal now I suppose. There is also EC art in full stories including hand colored Marie Severin watercolor studies done for the EC sets. I mean $300.-$500 for the MAD #1? What was I thinking? Pulp art, strip art, sketches... All the greats. This stuff is wonderful to just drool over. Included with be a couple of freebees as a surprise... Was $40. Then $30. Now $25!

SOLD! Crown Comics #11 Nov 1947 McCombs Pubs A very under rated title that is starting to take off. The cover isn't much but inside is full of GGA, A Voodah jungle story, A cool crime story and an early pre-EC Feldstein story. Grab these while you can. A real challenge to put this run together. I just paid well for an upgrade or this would not be going anywhere. A nice, clean solid copy. Has a few light wrinkles and small creases. Inside cover and outside back cover have some dirt. Tiny piece of un-needed tape at base of spine on back. A couple tiny edge creases. Light general wear. Book and centerfold are snug to off white interior pages. $50.

The Mighty Atom Reddy Killowatt 1964 Giveaway 36 pages with slick cover. The story of electricity with Reddy leading you through it. More Atomic Age goodness. An un-read copy.
