Robot Man

Got my badge. Can't wait!

I collect toys and vintage robots. My avitar is my favorite robot "Chief Robot Man" made by Nomura toys in Japan. I was going to be "The Crypt Keeper" because I love EC comics so much but it was already taken. The rest is history...

I would not EVER touch, press or alter a pedigree! 

Mail man brought me a present today!

I love those early Millie's.  To continue on with some Millie the Model, I recently picked up this Millie cover recreation by DeCarlo.  It was actually commissioned by John Lucas in 1991.  Lucas was one of the artists responsible for reviving the Katy Keene title in the 1980's.   Lucas did the inking himself.  I like how DeCarlo tweaked the layout a bit and filled out the background rather than doing an exact copy of the original.  I don't recall ever seeing any original Millie art for sale by DeCarlo so I figured this was the next best thing.  There's tons of the later stuff by Goldberg available but there doesn't seem to be anything by DeCarlo.

Very nice comic and even nicer art!

Matt Baker's Romantic Covers

My favorite Bakers are his romantic covers with no word balloons and little text (beyond the title name).  Here are the ones I have in my collection.

Nice load Mike. I like those too.

Take

Down with Crime #7 sold to Golddust40. Thank you my good man a wise purchase...

OK, that's it for this time. I will leave this thread up probably through tomorrow night and send out invoices. Thanks as always for those who have look, lurked and best of all, spend their hard earned dough here. It's always a pleasure bringing out some obscure weirdness here.

One other thing, if anyone wants to trade any of this stuff for ECs in the vgish range, I might be interested. I am working on my 3rd collection and still need a whole lot of them. Looking for any I don't have...

Robot Man, over and out!

SOLD!

OK, whiners, guide beaters and low ballers please move on...

Down with Crime #7 Nov 1952 Fawcett Publications

Absolute classic book. One of my top 5 favorite crime books and one that is real popular here on the boards. Hot babe in her nighty reaching for a gun as a DC Sandman rip off character breaks through a window. The mood and colors on this one are fantastic!

This copy is good maybe good plus. But the bad news...it is missing the centerfold. No one I know really cares after seeing this iconic cover though. I have a nice Crowley that I paid dearly through the nose for many years ago. This is my "reader" but I can part with it. Someone else should have one of these in their collection. I have no problem keeping it...

$125. firm. Don't make me put this on Ebay...

Annother weird one coming up...

Clyde Beaty Comics #1 1953 Commodore Publications

A fat, 84 page giant annual. Great circus art and a photo section in middle. Real weird book!!!

A flat, bright, complete copy with a square, full paper spine and light general wear. Has a small piece of of bottom back cover, a couple small edge cover tears and a piece about 1/2" x 1-1/2" off top of front cover. Some stupid kid penciled in glasses and a beard on the lion and a beard and mustache on Clyde on the cover! Supple and nice interior pages.

Be the hit of the boards when you post your new find here!

Was $25.   OK how about $20.???

All Famous Police Cases #7 Oct. 1952 Star Publications

Action packed L.B. Cole crime cover!

Lots of general wear on this one. Slightly rolled spine, numerous small edge tears and creases. Neat spine split at top of cover down to the top staple. Light, small water stain at bottom of back cover. Bugs have knawed a thin line all the way through whole book in center. Does not affect art or stories but a bummer for sure. Nice, interior paper. A cheap reader and worth it for the cool L.B. Cole cover alone...

$15.

Another outstanding L.B. Cole cover! Halloween this time. I just love these!

No other major tears, or creases. Book and centerfold bound well to covers. Interior paper is a bit yellowed but supple.
