  1. Fantastic Four 8: G/VG; OW, light moisture damage (see scan of interior of front cover)

    This was sold to me here on the boards as a VG, but I think it's a G/VG.  Please note that the back cover is much nicer and that there is no waviness in the cover or pages.  The scan of the inside of the front cover makes the moisture damage look worse than in person.

    $150 SOLD

  3. I haven't sold on the boards for quite a while, but I'm off work this coming week and have decided to try and move some books.

    - As far as I know, none of these books have been pressed or are restored in any way.

    - Back covers are clean unless a scan is provided.

    - I have a kudos thread, but it's buried so deep I can't find it.  Maybe someone better with the search function than me can sniff it out.

     

    Shipping is from Canada and will be at cost.  I took these rates to the U.S. from the Canada Post website, but if it turns out to be less I'll refund the difference.  Shipping to Canada and international depends on location, please ask for a quote.

    1-2 book = $7 regular mail in an envelope between thick cardboard (no insurance or tracking)

    3 - 6 book, weight < 1 kg (2.2 lbs) = $16 (tracked, $100 insurance)

    Weight above 1 kg = $27 or more (tracked, $100 insurance included, max insurance = $1,000 @ $2.25 per $100 )

    If you want tracking and insurance on packages less than 1 kg the cost is the same as for weight above 1 kg.

     

    Everything is fully refundable with no questions asked.  I accept PayPal, money orders and checks from Canadians only.

    Thanks for looking! :)

    There was a great Everett interview with one of his daughters in Alter Ego magazine and I believe Bill was out of comics, working out of Massachusetts for a greeting card Company for much of the 1960s.

    Stan reached out to Bill to work on DD#1, but between Bill's regular job, and having to work until the late hours of the night,  the additional strain of the DD #1 deadline was too much and he bowed out after the first issue.

    This is taken from Wikipedia:

    In an interview conducted by Marvel writer-editor and Everett's one-time roommate Roy Thomas, in what the latter recalled as either "late 1969 or in 1970," Everett said of Daredevil's creation five years earlier:

    I must have called Stan, had some contact with him, I don't know why. I know we tried to do it on the phone. I know he had this idea for Daredevil; he thought he had an idea. . . . With a long-distance phone call, it just wasn't coming out right, so I said, 'All right, I'll come down this weekend or something. I'll take a day off [from his job as art director of Eton Paper Corporation in Massachusetts] and come down to New York'. . . . I did the one issue, but I found that I couldn't do it and handle my job, because it was a managerial job; I didn't get paid overtime but I was on an annual salary, so my time was not my own. I was putting in 14 or 15 hours a day at the plant and then to come home and try to do comics at night was just too much. And I didn't make deadlines – I just couldn't make them – so I just did the one issue and didn't do any more.

    That's DocV, Dr. Michael J. Vassallo.

    Maneely art is quite rare, dead at 32.

    https://www.lambiek.net/artists/m/maneely_joe.htm

    There's a theory out there that if Maneely hadn't met tragedy, Stan would not have needed Jack and The King of Comics would be Joe Maneely.

    Maneely was definitely one of the highest quality Atlas artists and would most likely be a big name today if he'd been alive during the Silver Age.  It's obviously hard to say if he would have displaced any of the big SA names.  I'd use Everett as an example - one of the best Atlas artists and certainly a very good SA artist, but not a huge SA name.
