I kinda wonder if there was a warehouse find on this book. Its not a rare book by any means and even in this grade it is still sub-$1000. Robot, mad scientist, and bondage? Seems like a steal to me!

You can still get this one in lower grades for under a grand. Got this years ago off of eBay for around $15 in eBay bucks.

WoW! Great book! Looks like a solid spine for a 1.8.

Well, that's cool. Anyone know if there will be any regularly published Disney comics coming up? I miss my fix.

By far my favorite Schomburg of that era. I have other favorites of his work for his pulp(ish), small ww II figs, licensed properties, and Xela eras. Since others are posting theirs :

These are some killer books, Jeff! Hope your planning on buying something better.

I read mainly the reprints. I love the old newsprint but I'm always afraid of the fingerprint smudge.

I'll add another story. Not really a warehouse find but more of a guy's "My dad was a thief for 20 years and I'm going to profit off his labors" story. I went to a Dallas Fantasy fair in 1991/1992. At this convention were the typical dealer booths hawking clothes, comics, bootleg VHS tapes and CDs, along with some big name dealers. There, however, was one table where a man sat with 2 other men and stacks of brown paper bags. A crowd about 2 deep gathered around the table with cash literally in hand trying to buy the paper bags. Curious, I asked one of the people on the sidelines what was going on. Apparently, each of the bags held either an Iron Man #1 or an Iron Man/Submariner #1. Iron Man #1 on the left side of the table and the other on the right side. When it is your turn to choose, you can select up to 5 bags. You must pull out the books at the table and if you feel a book is of inferior quality you can trade it for a different bag. One time per person. Price: $300, cash, per bag. I stood there for a while, watching, as buying and trading went on and it finally became my turn. By this point I had seen probably a dozen of the Iron Man #1s that had been purchased, all flawless according to late 1980s grading standards . Seriously though, they were beautiful. I had the cash to buy 3 bags. While I opened each book, to see if I wanted to trade any of them back, I took the opportunity to talk to the man running the show. He told me that his dad had delivered magazines and comics to newsstands around the area for 20 years. Sometimes, parts of the delivery "fell off the truck" and he would take these unopened boxes and bales of comics and magazines back to his house where he stored them. After 20 years of this, he filled up his basement and attic with sundry paper products. His dad then retired and then died roughly 10 years later. His family has been going through all of the stuff he had squirrelled away and knew, because of a newspaper article about how valuable comics could be, that the comics could be worth something. They threw out the magazines . The comics were divvied up and the son got the Submariner/Iron Man #1s and the Iron Man #1s. The son shopped the books around to various comic stores but he felt they were all trying to rip him off. Somehow he learned of the show and decided that renting a table and selling them there was the way to go. It could be that one of the stores had told him that it would be best to sell them there but I just do not remember. I do not know how many he had, 100s?, but he sold them at a constant rate the day I was there. I believe he was getting low on Iron Man #1s by the end of the day but again...memory. I sold one of the ones I bought to a friend of mine who later had it graded and it came back a 9.2. Prettiest 9.2 you have ever seen. It was downgraded by Steve due to having oversaturation of the purple ink in one thumbnail-sized spot on the front cover. Basically, a printing defect. I keep trying to get my friend to send it back in because I'm sure it would grade much higher now. Another one I sold to a customer of the comic book store I worked for at the time, New World Comics in OKC, who would not stop badgering/begging me to sell it to him. I have no idea where the 3rd one ended up. I moved around the country and it disappeared in one of the moves. Sure wish I had it now.

These were from a warehouse find. Not mine but a table I saw at Oafcon in Norman Oklahoma a few years ago. Four color 700 "Walt Disney's Water Birds and the Olympic Elk". Probably 30 copies on the table with more under the table, if memory serves. Same for Four Color 775 "Sir Lancelot and Brian." There were not as many copies of the ones on the front of the table.Maybe 5 to 10 of each. Four Colors 699, 738, 786, and one more I cannot identify.

I bought Daredevil #6 through #20, multiple copies, all vf/nm or higher from Koch in the mid-80s.I used those as trading stock for at least 10 years. I remember he sent me one batch and of the (3) Daredevil 10s I had ordered and one was obviously in worse shape. Still a strong f/vf but obviously inferior to the other 2 books. I called their number, told them the problem, and they said a new person had been pulling books from the wrong bins. They did not know who got the wrong books and was just hoping people would call to complain so they could correct the problem. From this conversation, I assumed this meant that Koch had not just "bins" of Daredevil #10 but "bins" of sorted and graded Daredevil #10s. Blew my mind. Would have been 1987 or 1988. I always blamed this Koch find on why early Daredevil never really increased in value for decades. Same goes for Tales of Suspense and Tales to Astonish.

Exactly. First time on screen, big or small, the Joker was "scary." Maybe not Leto or Jared scary but still light years ahead of anything else seen so far. Nicholson was awesome.
