Kent Blake Of The Secret Service #1, 1951, Marvel. Great looking book, but a couple big issues. First, it was manufactured without staples. Complete, but unattached…ha. There is a 2-2.5” tear in the right edge of the front cover in the red bar, there is a 1.5” split at the top, there is some paper missing on a couple pages of the interior only affecting the margin (this feels like it was production as the interior pages were not cleanly cut….maybe dull blades leading to the issue). But the blacks are deep and there isn’t a lot of surface or spine wear besides what is noted. Mylar all star. Let’s go 3.0 but looks a lot better. $45 **NOW $38**

Jungle Comics #30, 1942, Fiction House. This is a solid copy of a very difficult book to find. The limiting factor on the grade will be the piece missing from the top right corner of the front cover. Leaving that aside, the spine is tight and well attached, with just a bit of roll. There is good color, with a small amount of paper aging, but it remains supple and very readable. I think it’s a 5.0-5.5 book WITHOUT the missing piece. Technical grade suffers greatly from the missing piece. Let's go with 5.5Q or 2.0 or less on a blue label. This book presents much higher. $115 **NOW $99**

Battle #68, 1960, Marvel. OK...I know this is SA, but it was a 10 center in the stack. Solid and complete with good colors. Wear is predominately around the edges, with a chip at the top of the spine. Nothing too major, but an accumulation bringing it down to the 4.0 range. Kirby cover, Heck/Severin/Ditko/Burgos/Kirby inside. $35 **NOW $28**

Hey, look...a Marvel hero book. Tales Of Suspense #49, 1964, Marvel. Let's be honest...this book is loaded. 1st X-Men cross over, and early appearance of them. OSPG says same date as X-Men #3, so tied for 3rd appearance? 1st Avengers cross over. And, 2nd appearance of The Watcher. Seems undervalued to me at that point. This was my long term copy until I lucked into an upgrade. Complete and seemingly attached, but there is glue between cover and first/last pages. Bottom staple may be detached from cover. Otherwise lots of general wear, a small stain in the logo, an import stamp (?) faint on the front lower left corner and on the lower left back corner, and a store stamp on the back saying Malaysia. So, this book has traveled. I have owned it for more than 15 years at this point. Without the glue, I would say 3.0 range. Adjust from there as needed. $55 NOW $49 NOW $45 **SOLD**

Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #17, 1960, DC. This is the 2nd appearance of Brainiac...who knew? Nice copy with some spine roll and some minor staple tearing at the top staple, a bit of a dust shadow and a corner crease at the top front right. 4.5 for me. It's not quite Crime Mysteries #4 or Weird Chills #1, but transfusion cover, too. $35 **SOLD VIA PM**

Man O' Mars #1, 1958, I.W. Enterprises. This is the reprint of the Fiction House classic. Murphy Anderson and Lee Elias art. Chipping along the right edge, more edge wear all around, a couple corner creases on front and back covers, spine wear, stain on the back bottom. Let's go with 2.5 on this one. $25 NOW $22 **NOW $19**

Kid Colt Outlaw #100, 1961, Marvel/Atlas. Loaded with a Kirby cover, Heck interior art, and Stan Lee scripts. Complete and tightly attached. The biggest issue is a small tear (~0.5" or a bit larger) on the bottom edge that goes through the entire book. I believe this was made with a blade as it is far too clean a cut to be a tear. The front cover has some wear around this, but the interior and back cover show that it is very clean. Also a small triangular chip at the right front edge. Without the cut, I would argue for at least a 4.5. With it, 3.5? I will put some pics of the cut in the spoilers. $45 NOW $38 NOW $32 **SOLD**

G.I. Combat #104, 1964, DC. Another Heath grey tone cover. This one looks nearly as good in the bag, but some issues on closer inspection. There is a bit of a spine roll, a small (~0.25")edge tear bottom front, and a couple indentions on the tank (one of which breaks the paper). All told, I think it's a 3.0. $15 NOW $13 **NOW $10**

G.I. Combat #80, 1960, DC. Awesome Russ Heath grey tone cover, and Heath/Kubert/Swan art inside. Complete and attached, but plenty of spine wear. Some minor creasing and a small edge tear on the back left edge. I think its a 3.5, maybe 4.0. Only 19 blue labels on the census, and not a lot of sales data out there. $75 NOW $59 NOW $49 **SOLD**
