SOLD! Panic #1 Pre-code EC notorious for its use in the Senate investigation, and its banning in Massachusetts. (On the strength of Bill Elder’s rendition of The Night Before Christmas, IIRC @SOTIcollector) I think this was sold to me as a GD due to spine splitting below the bottom staple, though it’s visual appeal is better than that. Blissard just sold a worse-looking raw, accurately graded at GD- in my opinion, on eBay at auction for $132.50 Let’s say $125 for a nicer copy here.

Superboy #80 in VGFN, maaaaaybe VG+ if you wanna be a hard@SS about it and that small stain under the Y in Superboy. 1st meeting of Superboy and Supergirl (1960) in an absolutely charming quintessentially DC Silver Age tale (well, maybe it needs a purple gorilla, but other than that it’s pure, classic DC Silver.) $80
-
Gay Comics #28 (Timely 1947) in VG- on general wear, cf detached, small stain left center edge of front cover. $200

Ok, let’s add five more tonight….
-
Ok gang….thread is cleaned up. Running out for a bit, but I hope to shoot and post a nicely mixed handful later tonight.

Thank you Bob! I looked back and saw you were the taker on that other copy of mine. It’s a sweet book too; structurally not quite as nice as the Sinnott book but less tan. I can’t believe two sharp copies of this book have been through my hands. There can’t be too many more this nice. (Readcomix gets boneheaded completist idea… )

Devil Dog Dugan #2 Joe Sinnott file copy! Thank you Buttock! I am happy to see a piece of comics history go to a great boardie! I know it’s joining a heckuva collection!
-
Fat-fingering fixed; thank you!

Thank you; I was happy to get a few for now. They are a cool piece of comics history, though hard to price. I think I’m within reason on the Battle, given what I found. But I think I’m too hot on the Devil Dog Dugan — looking back, I see I sold a not quite as nice FN+ copy myself on here, back in 2020. That one was $100. Not sure what’s right on a nicer copy with four sigs by Joe Sinnott somI’m open to offers, but I am knocking that $600 down to $400. I want to find the right price and share these among the community, so I’m open to reasonable offers. It’s better for Joe’s legacy IMO if several dedicated collectors can have these, rather than the few the family let go being concentrated in a couple sets of hands.

Who don’t??

That’s it for tonight, and more to come. I hope everyone enjoys seeing these Joe Sinnott books; they are beautiful in hand. It was hard deciding my keepers, but if you look at the issues of War that I posted in this week in your collection You can see what I chose.

Battle #37 Joe Sinnott file copy in FN- This one is a who’s who of war comics greats. Cover by Russ Heath; interior stories by Sinnott (signed), D ick Ayers, Joe Kubert, Ross Andru. A cgc 6.0, just slightly nicer than this one, went for $336 on HA in May. Let’s balance slightly lower grade and Heritage fees on the one hand against the provenance here on the other and go $300.

SOLD! This first one has no comps out there, and there are none on census. Devil Dog Dugan #2 — my friend had this at VF but I’m a little lower than that for the bit of tanning and the tiny tear upper left. Other than that, I couldn’t quibble structurally with a VF. But I’m more inclined to VF-. Four Joe Sinnott signatures in this one. The only Dugan sale out there is a raw VG+ #1 on eBay by Blissard for $204.50 at auction. Spitballing here on a unique and tough book… $400

This evening’s last 2 books are of special provenance. They are both Joe Sinnott file copies. A word of background here first — I acquired them from the organizer of the Albany Comic Con, who has acquired them from the Sinnott family. In the 1950’s, Joe would take the train into NYC to go to the Marvel offices to pick up assignments from Stan. As a contributor, he was allowed up to 3 copies of each book he worked on. Joe signed his name in the margin of the first page of each story he worked on in each of these. It is my understanding that the family has kept one copy of each. My friend has acquired several of the duplicates, and I have acquired a few from him. I moved a few herd cull books in trade to offer these 2 here instead of the books I was culling. I am not crazy; I have also acquired four keepers from the Sinnott file copies - I posted Battlefield #4 a week or so ago, and you can see my other keepers in a post I just made in This Week in Your Collection, in Comics General. I thought bringing a couple of these to the boards would be fun and different. I hope you all enjoy them and that they find their way to good homes here.

Journey Into Mystery #16 in VG (note tiny hole in cover near M in mystery. Visible in inside front cover shot too.) classic vampire cover. 49 on census. HA just sold a cgc 6.0 for $900.

Three more Joe Sinnott file copies. And an ASM #42 just because I had never bothered to pick one up before and it contains one of the greatest panels in Marvel history.
-
I’ve pulled a few more books for this thread and shot some of them. Stay tuned for a half dozen or so shortly.

Thanks Terry; not the most common thing out there in nice shape, is it? There was a great thread around here about Fritzi Ritz vs Blondie, and Fritzi pretty well trashed her in the court of public opinion, as I recall.
