Ok I’m cutting in line - I have a distinct advantage after having Now read this slide on the worldwide Internet service. STARTING BID:

Si! even I am looking at this thing and I collect NO romance (typically). The colors and patterns on it are just… absolutely gorgeous artwork. Full stop.

That is one pretty 3.0… Take take take (plz)

Take per PM Love And Passion Under Hypnosis Magazine (No publishing date but probably late 1950s) VG condition - dust shadow at top, stains on back cover. Staple holes on rt. side. These were sold stapled together so you couldn't look through before purchasing. One-shot magazine with B/W nude pictures on blue paper. Sold with the insinuation that the reader might learn the tricks of how to hypnotize beautiful women to be sexually available, thus the high cover price, and stapled edge. Of course, no such instructions are found inside. Bridey Murphy was the subject of a best-selling book in 1956 concerning a woman who claimed to recall a past life while under hypnosis. $25 FLIRT Dec 1952 VG- cream pages, with lt. tan halo Chips out of back cover. Peter Driben cover. $35

Sounds fair enough!

Thanks for turning me onto this thread man! I see many (hopefully) friendly faces here. Have you ever listened to The Fantasticast podcast? I feel like you would like their content - I always loved them for their “Stan comments” - funny as hell British humor about clumsy Stan, but also very smart, fair, and on-point. Upshot is Stan prob deserves many of the jabs we all like to send his way these days - but not all. Very interesting tidbits those hosts had to share on that show. One of my absolute favorite episodes from that podcast included a wonderful 15 minute diversion that their regular programming to simply reflect on a fan letter they had received from a comic artist listener who described an absolutely magical encounter with Kirby toward the end of Kirby’s life - in Jack’s own home! The guy apparently broke through Kirby‘s wall, which was thick as a fortress towards the end of Jack’s life as I’m sure you know, and was able to convince Jack he was just an artist who was just trying to fully appreciate his comic art hero. Jack took the bait - and invited him to his own home for tea with his wife! I believe this was in the 90’s, but not 100% sure on date. Anyways, after further inspection at teatime, Jack decided he liked the guy even more and invited him into his back of the house drawing studio - where he was STILL creating magical fresh ideas on paper (he said “he just couldn’t stop”) - - many of those ideas/sketches apparently have still not seen the light of day! Love that Jack story. And while I am on a rant…One last bit that I have been constantly debating is, now that he’s gone …do we keep calling him “Jack” or do we call him by his given name “Jacob”, the name he was essentially forced to forgo in the face of anti-Semitism during his early comic book years (like so many others)? I suspect he would prefer the latter, but I always wanted to ask a member of his family this question…

Gorgeous

@lizards2 (still some nice ones here, methinks)

Take per PM - thanks!! #380 #381 #388 #398 #403

It looks even sexier this time around than when I saw it a month back…for the love of cripes, somebody pick this beauty up already! Don’t let Heritage swallow this one up. Corvonie is a dedicated collector who is committed to providing others with the same quality we all hope to receive. I would think this is a no-brainer for somebody looking for this book in high-grade.

The standard curriculum for sure

How is this still here?!! Fascinated just by the back cover description…I’m in.

Very cool

Nice - I’d be all over that
