Robot Man

I wouldn't call it a "grail" for me but I'm happy to own it.

Someone was asking to see a copy of this...

I was told one time that the model for this girl was his wife or girlfriend. He was quite the ladies man in his day and partied at the Playboy mansion,

Robot there were only 3 UK ECs published by Arnold: Tales From the Crypt 1 & 2 and Haunt of Fear 1. There are a few issues of the war books that were published in Australia, so maybe that's what he has?

I asked him for a scan and price. You are probably right. Stay tuned

I hear Carbo needs a job...

Horrific 3

 

One of my top 5 horror books. And yours has about the best color I have ever seen. Nice score Johnny!

After 15 years I've finally been able to upgrade this scarce book:

 

Oh so scarce! A guy told me he has an English Frontline Combat for sale but I haven't seen it yet. Anybody ever hear of one?

In the early horror-ish department, I was happy to get this one: Disney ripoff of Goofy, Pluto and Mickey, plus an early horror-themed cover, from 1946

 

I picked up one of those from Bedrock at WonderCon. One look and it was sold!

Thanks to all you guys who have shown your baseball stuff! A little prodding and you guys really come through. Keep 'em coming!

Bob, it was great seeing you at the show!  You are the real life Diver Dan.

 

It's pretty hard to find LB Coles that nice Andy. It was great box diving with you at Harley's booth. And thanks for showing me all that cool Schomburg stuff. You really should post that album cover and book. Something these guys (like me) have never seen.

Now that is unusual!

It's going take me forever to get to 1,000 posts.  I found these on the internet, so these are not my scans.

First two are from the silver age, but bring back many happy childhood memories.

Here are some from Babe comics.  Only because Robot Man is one of my favorite boardies.

 

Captain America 7 Death Loads the Bases cool splash.

 

 

 

Love them all! I remember those strange Sports Stories as a kid.

I forgot about that one. I've got a very nice one with a small lower right rat chew alas!

Shoot them outside, not in direct sun on a piece of grey or black matte board. And don't use a camera phone. Your photos look soft and fuzzy and you are not doing them any justice.

And buying comics off a bathroom floor...No Thanks

Love the expression on the guy in the inset.

I remember my dad saying this about headlights. "Headlights are like dogs son. They come in three breeds, pointers, setters and crocker spaniels" I wonder what these would be???

Great book Rick!

Was probably dry cleaned as well. Kind of "polishes" the cover. My problem with pressing is there aren't a lot of people that really know how to do it right. I like those fat, plump, rounded spines that go away when the wrong person does it. 

I actually fished a great book out of one of Harley's boxes at WonderCon that was WAY under priced. Hard to get the best of the Yeester but it can be done.

New York has become the same way no longer about comics and more cosplay and who can be more freaky

Harley keeps a west coast and east coast inv. He only has to ship himself

Oh, I don't even want to touch that one!

Come on you slackers. I know you got baseball covers. I know a couple of Superman's and Worlds Finest #3? right off the top of my head and I ain't gonna go home and scan 'em.  Even G.A.tor posted one. Give some up you lurkers or 'ole Robot Man's gonna close the door!

I'd make that tag with the ball in the glove. 

You and me both. And, I'd watch my shins. I still have a few spike scars from playing in High School...

I've only been once, and before Wizard took over. I was always a small-show sort of guy, and looking for stuff on the cheap at flea markets and antique shows. "Retail" and "comics" are two words that don't gel in my book. I know there are bargains to be had at any show: one just has to be willing go diving, as you say.

If I do get off my curmudgeon soapbox and attend Wizard, I will bring back some pics.

You can find stuff cheap everywhere Pop. Just gotta get up and do it. As I always say, at a comic book show, the bargains are usually in the boxes because people are usually to lazy to dig. I can even say that I got the better of both Terry and even Harley at WonderCon because I box dived and knew what to look for. 

I went Friday and Sat but opted out for Sunday because I'd just had enough and wanted to look at my loot (which I never got around to). Funny thing was, my favorite flea market was on Sunday and I forgot about it!

tricolor was just gushing he found a copy of this a few months back..scarce?

 

It must be. I bought it for the incredible cover many years ago and have never been able to upgrade it. I posted it once and it was pointed out to me that the name on the cover was a Japanese fellow who was interred. Kind of like Okajima.
