I considered bidding on this auction...but then my funds got tied up when I unexpectedly won this:

I wasn't even expecting to win this one, I just had a snipe set on it and I didn't notice it until a couple days later.

Did you see the ASM #98 double cover on eBay now?

Kinda wish I'd seen this before the auction ended. I would have been very tempted.

FF #112 CGC 9.0 Double Cover $227

WOW!!!! What an accomplishment. Probably only 1 of 10 complete sets in the entire world (wild guess).

You've earned an enemy for life with that comment.

Congrats, Ian!

So, have you let Christine Farrell know?

Congrats!

So how many of your comic books will you be selling to pay for baby expenses?

I wondered. Oh well.

35 cent variants discovered!

This week, Scoop brings you a look at two rare Marvel 35-cent price variants that serious Bronze Age collectors have questioned the existence of. The background on the 35 cent price variants is that one exists for each Marvel Comic published for five months prior to the to the actual cover price increase. The purpose of these issues was to test the consumers resistance to the pending price change. Overstreet advisor and Warehouse Auction Centers Vice President Fred McSurley has discovered the missing two 35 cent variants. The list of 35 cent variants totals 184 issues and these two now complete the list.

Unlike their 30 cent price variant counterparts the 35 cent variants are difficult to observe as they do not stand out with major cover variations. Numerous collectors have contributed to organizing a complete list of 30 and 35 cent variants. Collector Paul Merolle's website features a complete list of these issues.

Check this one out gents, it's the Lost Valley copy, CGC 9.6 (unrestored).

 

 

Tired of that book yet? Just send me a pm.

My copy is looking for a companion.

"When bidding wars go bad!"

Love that cover, but 2X guide is

Looking for an issue of Fantastic Comics #3 if anyone has got one.

So is Goldust.

Only one I've seen (not that I've been looking) was sold by Heritage in 3/02.

The art was sold at Sothebys in the 90's. There's a comic auction catalog with that cover art on it.

 

That's interesting to hear as I've heard Frazetta keeps most of his original artwork.

Any idea what it sold for?

I'm not sure if it sold or not. The estimate was $80,000 - $100,000.

It was the 1996 Sotheby's Comic & Comic Art Auction (Sale #6872). If you only buy ONE comic auction catalog, buy this one.

It includes (among other things), the original cover art for Mask Comics #1 & #2, Hit Comics #5, Zap #1, Hawkman #1, Brave & Bold #61, title splash for TOS #39. Frazetta pieces include concept cover art for Vampirella #1, cover art for Famous Funnies #209, Tim Holt #17, and this oil painting "Savage World".

The art was sold at Sothebys in the 90's. There's a comic auction catalog with that cover art on it.

BTW, Keith. I assume you have a copy of the all-time classic GREAT TALES OF TERROR AND THE SUPERNATURAL? I bought my first copy when I was about 12 years old. Back then it was about 75 cents for 1080 pages of classic tales. I am on my thriud copy! The thing keeps falling apart!

Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural on Amazon

"This bargain of a book is a thick hardcover anthology--more than 1,000 pages long--containing stories of naturalistic and supernatural terror. First published in 1944, it has stood the test of time and become a classic in the field. Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural is rivaled only by David G. Hartwell's The Dark Descent as the essential horror anthology. Fortunately, there's little overlap: of the 52 tales in this anthology, only 5 are duplicated in The Dark Descent. Included here are such memorable stories as W.W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw"; Saki's "Sredni Vashtar" and "The Open Window"; Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game"; Conrad Aiken's "Silent Snow, Secret Snow"; Arthur Machen's "The Great God Pan"; along with gems by E.F. Benson, H.G. Wells, Ambrose Bierce, Rudyard Kipling, Walter de la Mare, M.R. James, Guy de Maupassant, and O. Henry."

Average Customer Review:

Will have to check it out.

Neat cover.

Classic.

How much for the WWBN #1?

 

That's a good point. I might just do the quick read and flip. The problem is, if I end up liking the series as much as I think I will, I will want to keep them.

 

Quit draggin' your feet already and pony up!

 

One of the few series that is actually "worth it".

Got any Warrior Mags for sale, Chris?

Saw this on eBay...

http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/viewimag...&pt=bidpay&sp=1

Also saw this online...

As far as Creepy mags themselves, #1-#16 and #50-#90 are supposed to be some of the best and would what I'd like to read.

The cover to #17 is my favorite.

Oooh. I am jealous!

You stated in an earlier thread you were Heterosexual. Are you sure?

 

This coming from a "man" who wears a skirt.

Lets get this straight Mr. october_Fire

 

If a kilt is a skirt. How come you never see any women wearing them with their sporrons?

 

I'm the Englishman here and I have to tell you that it's spelt sporran???

I've actually worn one and I didn't know what they were called.

Anyway. Back to the comics. Nice FF, SS.

Metarog has been asking for a scan of the ridiculously rare Warlord mini-comic.

It just arrived.

Despite what Paul Levitz said it DOES indeed exist.

I shall be getting it scanned and posted up on here tomorrow.

 

Looking forward to it!

Indeed.

Haven't found a picture of it anywhere on the internet. Here's an ad I found, though.

Great Dynamo cover!

I used this one as an inside cover in my fanzine HORROR COMICS REVIEW .

Speaking of which.

FINALLY, got a nice looking MS 2. Paid $26 and it looks like a VF, but there is a bit of rust migration by the BC staples, so I would only give it a 6.5/7.0. Still, I am very happy right now.

 

 

So in the end, you settled for less than VF.

 

 

 

Glad you finally got one.

 

 

Of course, it's not as nice as my 9.0.

 

Thanks. Took long enough! Check your PM...
