Monsters-n-heroes

Wanted to show off my newest scrap to building my Batman #1. This was found at the Kane County toy show today by a fellow golden age collector and I swapped for it. It had the dated note that had been glued to it and someone had recently removed the note and taped the cover to a newer border. I am hoping the newer tape comes off fairly easy. I will eventually send it to Kenny and get the tape removed and ask him to leafcast a border back around it. The 2 batman cutouts on it lift up so hopefully they will come off as well. Franken book smanken book ... I don't care ... I love finding parts!

Thanks, yes this a case of the second page being as cool as the first!

My craptastic entry into the Batman #1 club arrived today ... all the way from Australia in a bubble mailer ... I am more than happy to start trying to piece this together if I can trade for a first and last page sometime down the road and then eventually have Kenny leafcast the corners back on, it will clean up ok. The burn goes right up to the art only on a few pages apparently since there is nothing on the label about "slightly affects art" etc ... 10 years ago I wouldn't have even kept really any coverless book, now I am all excited to find them!

I goofed around a bit too long on these as well. I did get 2 Actions out of the listings though on my way out the door to work.

I enjoy torturing myself ...... so I marry books together ...... I am interested in trading for nice eye appeal parts ie. not water logged or brittle moldy etc. A little chunky or chippy is possibly ok on bigger tougher stuff. If you think that you might have something that I would be interested in, DON'T BE SHY, just drop me a message. Thanks and Happy Hunting! I am looking to trade for any of the following. Superman #1 and Batman #1 front and back covers. Superman #1 centerfold Batman #1 first wrap Adventure Comics #44 remaindered copy Adventure Comics #51 remaindered copy Action Comics #4 both covers incomplete copies of Action Comics #2 #3 #5 to build.

That is awesome, good luck in your quest for the book and back cover for it!

Thanks for the heads up on these Leroy ... I just won this one to build a book from. Someone wanted the Action #12 more than me though. I am anxious to see what the Detective #33 cover ends at, it's beautiful!

His old thread is still open from last year with the Action and Whiz if you do a search of "Action #7" you can still see it on here. I just looked at it the other day doing an Action / Superman search.

I don't mind them, I buy and sell coverless golden age books. The single pages on the other hand, yea, that's pretty much out of control. Selling pages that aren't anything really ... Superman's 30th appearance ... Batman's first time he does whatever ... etc.

Probably the Action #1 since Superman #1 is basically a reprint book. I am a Superman fan but I have never understood why a #1 is worth more than a Batman #1 with it having the first Joker and Catwoman. Superman #1 copies a bunch of previously used images and stories. Action #1 even coverless is still the first appearance so would lean that way and piece together my Superman #1

It is still for sale on comiclink ... and I don't see where it actually sold in completed for Superman #1 on Ebay. $29456 minimum bid on comiclink currently.

I am looking for a centerfold and covers but glad to have what I have. I should have bought all of this coverless stuff 10 years ago when no one wanted it!

Clarkkentdds ... you beat me to it. I think he is referring to that one. I thought that was a pretty strong price for being married and all the doodles on the back and chunky front and that.

Very nice!

Serial #'s are different.

Great dealing with Dat. No problems at all. Prompt and safe shipping on an expensive book.

Hmmm yea ... drop of peeled model glue under the cello kind of an easy tell lol.

Ever sell the #7?

UPDATE ....2019 ... back on there again ... I almost fell for it.

I like this one ... and it is probably my favorite early Batman cover anyway to boot!

Do parts count ... I don't have time for such fancy things as front covers or completeness or all that nonsense ... lol. Seriously, I am just working on piecing them together, I am very patient and stuff still turns up! ... I just bought a #10 back cover a few days ago ... so we are getting there!

I am looking for any of the following TRADES: Superman #1 and Batman #1 coverless, covers parts etc. Nothing brittle or beat to hell, decent eye appeal parts. A nice eye appeal Superman #12 and #26 ... Batman #3 #6,#8, #9 nice covers or missing centerfold copies that are otherwise nice. Action Comics pre #40 many covers parts books etc... Need the covers outer 3 wraps and cf for action #7 ... need covers for action #10 ... need any parts #13 ... looking for a nice #56 with split cover or missing cf copy but looks nice. Would like to trade for covers part and complete books of Flessel Sandmans and New Adventures Flessel misc. https://www.ebay.com/sch/monsters-n-heroes/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= Thanks, Rich Mohn
