Our story thus far: I get a call from the local antiques shop, which knows I collect comics. We've got a dealer who has a bunch of comics, but he's a blue porcelain and primitives guy they said, as if I already know that's a thing. So I go see him but he doesn't got a buncha comics, he's got a case of pulps and maybe two dozen comics, but one of them is Mr Mystery 12. And he's only giving a take it all price. So I took it all. Now, I don't collect pulps, but I could see how easy it is to get bit, so I want them out of here. So everything is going to be either $5 or $10. But first.... First wins; tie/indeterminate goes to thread. Payment: Check or money order. Shipping: Actual USPS priority (due to weight, that is likely to most often be cheapest.) Now, these things have ads in most cases, but if you take solely ones that do not (Galaxy novels, for instance) I will do media mail for those if you like. But my postmaster is a stickler on this. Don't blame me, blame the Rosicrucians. They are all over these things. Dont be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: I really don't want these things back, but I will offer my usual -- provide notice within three days of reciept and get them back on your own dime. That said, I am not a pulp collector so I am applying comic book grading logic. Also, I am checking for completeness, but when everything is over 100 pages I could miss something. If I do miss something egregious, pm me and we will work it out. Ok, let's have cheap fun....about 75 books coming, not all tonight.

Joe bought a Daredevil #1 from me recently. Quick payment, great communication, and a PM upon receipt. A pleasure to transact with, as well as interact with.

I never called it vapid, Ken. I think your summary of his high concept makes it sound much better than the actual execution, however. I get the concept but when I read it (off the racks) I saw a mash-up of "Chariots of the Gods" with a rehash of his DC fourth world and a re-imagining of the Olympian Gods (whom he and Lee had already introduced into the Marvel Universe) and the Inhumans. To me, it felt cluttered, forced and heavy-handed, though the concept itself was certainly not vapid. Not arguing, each to his own. Just clarifying my take, as you clearly liked it and I do not want to offend. I just experienced it quite differently. I wanted to like it, as I liked the character designs and some of them as developed personas. Maybe it was too much retrofit at once for me to swallow -- a pantheon of beings who dwarfed Galactus and the Watcher's power levels, yet another God-like race that had not been encountered by Thor, the Surfer, Dr Strange, Black Bolt, Prof X etc. Just explaining where I was coming from with my take. By no means a vapid concept, just an execution that fell far short for me.
