  1. I would go with Ra's as well but for someone who has not been mentioned I always thought the Ventriloquist was really creepy and cold have been made into a great movie.  It combined the gangster part of Batman stories that I always seemed to like and the sort of a shock/horror slant with the dummy.  If done poorly it can also be one of the worst most eye rolling of villains.  I also thought about Wrath from Batman Special in the 80's.  I really thought that was such a cool story and I don't think that anyone ever used that villain again.

    Adventure Comics #70; coverless, first wrap detached from bottom staple, everything else there, including centerfold. Included a story for your reading pleasure...

    My ask: Hmm, 0.5 restored sold for $191 a couple years ago. Let’s try $40. I imagine the typical draw for these books is someone in need of a centerfold.

    Spy Smasher v2 #7:

    • Missing cover
    • Missing first wrap (page count starts at 3)
    • Missing centerfold (jumps from page 32 to 37)

    My ask $15

    These books are a mess but their interiors are so interesting. Cool art and the contexts’ are a true time machine, 1942 in this instance...and let’s not forget the smell.

    pretty cool pages GCG - is not each one really 2? seeing more would be great if possible - thanks - Pat

    I was just about to ask the same question.  Isn't it really pages 2 and 3 of Detective Comics?  I promise you if it was in my collection that is the way I would describe it to my envious friends.  :x

  5. Just bought a couple of books from Dan.  They were as described.  He is a quality grader.  They were shipped securely and promptly.  He is super nice on communications, and he even sent free comics.  What more could you want?  Quality seller.  A+

    Dont forget Franklin Mint!  I remember some boardie-his mom bought tons of these for a huge retirement asset.  Stunned when she was basically told none of it was worth anything.
    BUT THESE ARE COLLECTIBLE!!!  IT SAYS COLLECTIBLE!!!!

    Pretty sure somewhere I have two signed Neal Adams comics that he went and sold on the Home Shopping Network. and maybe even a Stan Lee, something or other that my Grandmother got for me.  The idea that she cared about me enough to really try and get something that I would like is priceless.  The comics....not so much.

  7. Both of my kids like comics but they (like others have stated) are being published as GN with a price of 14.99 and up.  I will get them for my kids occasionally but I do think that comics have a lot more competition now than they did in the 40-70's for kids dollars.  It does make me sad a bit.  I don't think the succes of the movies has created new readers, I think comics are now being used as a trial ground for movie ideas because it is cheaper and can give studios an idea of what might work.  It is certainly not a sure thing (i.e, Bloodshot) but it is a tool.  How cheap do you think they would really need to get comics printed to get to the point where kids would invest in them.  Invest time, and their earned money, or where parents just buy them a copy "because".  I think the price point might have to be $1.50 or less.  Just my thoughts.  Interesting topic.

  8. Romance Lot.  Both books are Complete.  They are both in the Good to VG range.  The My Romantic Adventures, maybe a bit better and moving up to the Fine category.  The Romances of the West #2:   What can I say about this book.  Photo cover, western, Non-Baker romance art,  What can I say?  This book could not have more going for it.  Sure to be the next hot book and join the MCU films......or maybe not.  Take the pair for $10!!
