Robot Man

I know Mr. Bedrock sold a very high grade copy, maybe a ped a year or so ago. I don't think it was quite this high though.

I'm glad to see this thread on the main page WHERE IT BELONGS. In a late night fit of ambition to keep it there, I offer this humble raw offering from the "beat but complete" box:

Bad news: it's a little beat up, for sure. Good news: it's an early JIM and it has an Everett cover. 

 

Love it Pop. Great Everett cover that I wish I had. That is one of the few titles I am missing a lot of. I would be over joyed to find one in that shape.

Two newer books to my collection, not the highest grades but both River City copies. I like the Uncanny for the fact that Maneely drew he and his wife into the cover. That's him with the grey hat on.

Cool books Jayman. I found out about that Uncanny Tales a long time ago and snatched up one. Too bad Maneely died so young. Kinda wonder what he would have done a few years later in the Marvel Universe.

By the way, I wish you guys would stop apologizing for the condition of your books. These are nice shape. Even if they aren't, it's just great to see them at all. There are those of us who appreciate them the way they are instead of a stupid number in the upper left corner...

Nice score! It’s been many years since I found any GA at a garage sale!

This came in the mail all the way from New Zeland. I was the only EBay bidder.   My first GA book from down under. A little beat but I’m glad to have it. It is #9 which translates to #58 in the US. 

Would like to find some more but I suspect these are almost as scarce there as they are here.

I think I just found my favorite new web series... There is a lot going on in this episode. 

 

Man, I was tired after about 5 minutes...  What a bunch of geeks!

When one is collecting comics it always starts with a few sample issues then you find a dealer who has a lot of one title and then that pushes you a long to finish a run. With current prices though that's a lot harder to do back in the early 90's most pre-codes were only 20-30 dollars each. Below my TFTC run.

NICE!  At one time I had a complete EC run ALL of them including the pre-trend funny, war, crime, romance ect and even the Picto Fiction mags. When the reprints came out, I sold off most of them just keeping 3 or 4 per title that I loved to buy stuff that wasn't reprinted. I missed them so I started another collection, got about half, lost interest and sold them off again. Now I'm working on my keeper set. There is just something about ECs that I can't stay away from. I currently have a little over half of the Crypts and keep buying them when the right copies come my way.

Pre Pre-Code Covers like this one deserve their own Thread considering how popular the genre is now. There are a few noteworthy Super hero (Our Flag 5) and pre hero ones (Keen Detective #9) that fit the bill. I see the new OSPG notes this one as 'Classic Horror Bondage Killer Dwarf' cover. I couldn't agree more.

2018/19 OSPG $181 in 2.0  (9 copies on the Census)

Ahhh yeah! That would have certianly got my dime a lot faster than some dopey Superman or Archie comic back in the day. Besides, I collect Midget, horror bondage covers.

First Torchy is reputed to be Doll Man # 8 ……… and those Moderns are one of the best Bargains in comics. GOD BLESS....

-jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Yeah, Doll Man #8. Modern, Doll Man, Police and Plastic Man are just full of real "Quality" art and stories. It's too bad most have pretty bland covers.

Nice copy of a great book Corey! You know how I feel about these. I need an upgrade on mine. It's amazing how cheap Giggle and Ha Ha are. On second thought, look away, these suk...

Picked up a fun little stack yesterday. I sure didn’t buy this for the cover. Torchy by Ward begins. Anybody know, is this the first appearance of Torchy anywhere? This is really top tier GGA!

Cool one Pablo!  Reminds me a little of this one...

Picked up a cool Everett cover at the flea market yesterday. Love the contrast in colors.

Do you have Dave's contact info? I lost it in changing computers several times since Dave and I last spoke. If you can't give it out, I understand. Have Dave give me a ring at 775-831-4848 so we can catch up. Someone told me it was Lilly that had the cat. I just don't remember that.

Use the PM feature here Ron. A lot more private.

Only one I’ve had. When I sold off my EC collection I kept this one.
