Haunted Thrills 18,  last issue

Great  cover  on  a  lousy  copy, 

Looks  pretty  nice  at  first  glance,  but  there's  a 2 x 2  corner off  lower LH BC,   the cover's loose,  and  there  are   a  dozen or  more   old  small tape repairs 
inside  the  cover. FC,  BC,  spine,   they  all  get  a  dose,    Interior is  tight,   offwhite pages. 

O'street  G  is  $41,  asking  $25

 

This is like watching paint dry and then you don’t like the color...

The Marvel  Family 35

Small split lower spine,  bit of spine roll,   several  long  sub-style  creases  FC,  don't  (or barely)  break  cover.  Small  tears  at  staples,   1"  tear  LH BC.  White pages.

Yours  for  $20

The Hand of Fate 15

Rough  reader,   the  image  tells  most of the story.  Chunk out  upper,   piece out  lower, big ol'  water,  big  ol' stacking  wave,  rusty staples,  migration, you name it.

Strictly  a  reader,  folks,   and  priced  accordingly

$5  for  a  precode  reader. 

 

Take it

Nice score, I found issue 5 the toughest issue to find.

Wow, what a spread Hap. Thanks for posting these. I forgot how cool #1 was too. I actually bought a #5 on the bay a year or so ago but it was missing the centerfold and I had to return it. I still need the #1 and #4... a couple months ago I was lucky to find a #6 at a toy show of all places.

Hey, RedFury! May I suggest you drop me a line at  supergraphics@prevue.net  which I think will provide an opportunity for me to send you an image for your consideration. And FYI: We're coincidentally in the same part of the universe! Small world, huh? JS

Wow, the man himself here on the boards! Welcome sir. I spoke to you at cons a few times about your love for pulps. It's great to have a true pro amongst us. Feel free, if you want, to share some of your stuff with us if you want.

Finally grabbed a decent copy of War Fury 1 to go with my Horrific 3:

 

Congrats! Nice pair! That is one of the best color strikes I’ve ever seen on that Horrific. It is one of my top 5 favorite pch books and I have a LOT of them!

Have always loved this Amazing stories

And, the real gem of the haul tonight:  Amazing Stories for March 1929.  It will look very nice next to my August 1928 issue:

I still hope for the day a grading service starts taking pulps. Challenging ask, but I’d pay more than I do for comic format. That space is ripe to explode. Just needs grading, IMO. 

I think what would really make it explode is a book like the Gerber volumes of GA comics. I've been a casual pulp collector for probably 30 years mostly for the covers. I am regularly seeing great covers I never knew existed. Now, the challenge is finding copies. They are so much harder to find than comics.

Been on an EC binge again. At one time, I had a true complete EC collection. When the reprints came out I sold off most of them to buy stuff that hadn't been reprinted. I right away, regretted it. So, I'm about a third way into my second collection. When these two turned up on the boards, I immediately jumped all over them. I would have bought #5 anyway just for the cover alone. But to knock off two issues of this very rare run was a no brainer. Pretty good reads too. So happy to get them back!

Who says that GA comics are not affordable? I picked this up from a boardie for about the cost of a half a dozen moderns. Nice, WWII cover too. Thanks Jim!

George and  Judy 22

Nice  early windoframe cover with  the Marvel  bullet on  the  FC.   Solid  overall  copy,  flat  and  square,   tight  spine  and  CF, white pages.  
But!  there's  a  piece of tape  on  the  cover,    lower  spine.  Sigh,  those  madcap  Sixties  kids,   making   things  tough  on us  old  coots.

Grab  a  pretty one  with  an  annoying  flaw for $25

I also picked up the GA and SA volumes from Costco today. Very highly recommended especially for 20 bucks each. Thanks for the tip Mitch!

I just have never been a fan of any of his work. There were a couple of pre-code Charlton horror covers maybe but that is about it for me...

Really tough to find in any condition.  As Eisner discusses in the Spirit Archives intro, circulation had really dwindled by then.

I would love to have that one. I don't think I have ever seen one for sale though.

Looks like you had sold out of all the good books by the time this photo was snapped. 

Yeah, where were the ECs Ritchie? Did you keep them "under the counter" and had to have a note from your Mother?  

I have put my collection together carefully most of my life. There are so many books I could probably never find again to replace if I wanted to. Most of the big keys are pretty readily available if I had enough money. I wouldn't do it...

I predict romance photo covers are the next hot GA collecting trend due to this thread 

There are already many that are...

When the sainted Cheetah finally threw in the towel on assembling high-grade copies (and when he threw in the towel, you knew the books were tough!), I picked up a couple of Baker Westerns from him. 

That title as well as Robin Hood just don't seem to get much if any interest. Probably because there are no females on the covers I guess.  #11 is actually very well excuted.

Too many EC's to mention... many of which have already been posted here, except these:  

I can never see that one enough times. One of my favorite Woody covers!

I've made a few late deals at night with a flash light in a parking lot...
