World's Finest #90, a very solid GVG 3.0. Third appearance of Batwoman. Note back cover with small corner missing, stain at bottom center. $80
-
Adventure Comics #200 in about VG minus. Superboy, Aquaman, Johnny Quick, Green Arrow stories. Note small piece off lower left front cover, lower left corner back cover. $100
-
Strange Tales #133! Thank you! I will continue to post but later PM you a close-up of that corner; cool to pass if you don't like what you see.
-
SOLD! Strange Tales #123 (also from "M.R." collection), first appearance of the Beetle, first Thor crossover. Lower end of VG. $20
-
Both -- in addition to the color-breaking crease, glare is exaggerating two non-color-breaking creases there. Sorry!
-
Journey into Mystery #108 VG. I take it back -- this one does have the "M.R." Initials lower right on the splash margin, as well as a sweet date stamp above the T in Thor. Avengers cameo. Dr Strange crossover. $20
-
These next two books are from the original owner "M.R." Collection I shared on the boards last fall. I held them back to enjoy them first, as they are the two early Dr. strange/Thor crossovers vs Loki. While neither has his initials on the splash page margin (as many of the others did) they do both have those characteristic dates stamps that all his books had.
-
SOLD! Strange Tales #133, very close to Fine. I'm holding back due to slight tears above the "A" but look at that spine and gloss. $15
-
Here come the final dozen books of this thread!
-
I still have my ratty Fear 19 purchased off the racks; I still rcall my grade school self being struck by that Fear 19/Man-Thing 1 story with Howard, the Man-Thing, a Sorceror, a barbarian and the girl in the metallic bikini. It was like Timothy Leary reinvented the Defenders (which was pretty strange in its own right). Also have my off the racks HTD 1, and I recently grabbed this copy of Fear 19 from an LCS that says a retired Marvel guy sold him his office copies from over the years.

And....right???? I realize this may well be the newest book you have ever purchased ('59) but that cover is amazing! If a well-presenting mid-grade or higher exists, I could see any number of us paying multiples of guide. Someone around here recently said Charltons came off the press in VG but there's some truth to that. They do not hold up well. Not sure the odds of finding this again in better shape. It's probably out there but a veritable needle in the haystack.

Romantic Story #42! Thank you William!
-
That's all I've got tonight, gang. I want to shoot those last dozen superhero books for tomorrow night, then get us wrapped up by the end of the weekend. Thanks all, I hope you're enjoying the rambling but at least loosely segmented thread! I appreciate all buyers, lookers and commenters

Romantic Story #42, a killer cover on a 1959 Charlton, in VG. None on census, one raw 2.0 on eBay coming from the UK. GCD says cover inks by Vince Colletta; pencils, with a question mark, attributed to Giordano. $20
-
Okay, last one for tonight...sci-fi is over...time for a romantic interlude....a 1959 straggler that eluded round one somehow...
-
Very much wanted! Thread-carping is encouraged, especially when the jokes are that bad!
-
Tom Corbett #11, my favorite of these painted covers but too much color-break to go beyond the low end of VG range. $15
-
Tom Corbett #10, much nicer, about a Fine. $30
-
From Dell, it's Tom Corbett #6 in GVG, but for small piece missing on an interior page. Atom Age action from 1953. $12
-
Wrapping up sci-fi tonight... Strange Suspense Stories #5 VG. Charlton Silver Ditko. $5
-
Tonight's books -- just a few; five or six -- coming up soon as the dog takes a whiz. (She always reads Captain Marvel before going to sleep )
-
Freebie alert! Here's an incomplete but enjoyable low-grade World's Finest #104, free to the first purchaser who claims it.
-
Remember I said all Archie/War/Western titles are 20% off? Let's do 25% off for those three categories only Keep in mind, price cuts are also seeded throughout on select books too. It's like an Easter egg hunt!
