They appear to be based off the 1990s Impel series but can’t find anything on them. The prism stickers were unauthorized and these seem like copies. Any info would be appreciated.

Follow his cape. I think about what his cape would be doing if he was in a powered flight and each panel seems wrong. Then I reimagine each panel as if he was leaping tall buildings in a single bound and my minds eye says- WE HAVE A BINGO!!!!!!

They are my favorite DC era.

Make me an offer. I'm pruning my GA and that book was next. It will be in an auction next week or make me an offer.

Free US shipping. Paypal, zelle, or checks if we know each other. No problem children, No returns on these. Opening bids are $50 and you can buy them now and end the auction early for $650 per lot or $1,000 for both. Anyone hitting the BIN on both lots gets a 35% rebate. Lot 1) Boy Commandos #1 Poor with no back cover. Front cover is present with lots of spine damage. Book is complete, some tannning, a little water damage, centerfold is intact and secure. Readable, not brittle. Opening bid $50. Lot 2) SEVEN issues of It Really Happened These are low grade copies of issues 1,2,3,4,8,9,and 11. In addition to great Schomburg covers, including several WW2 scenes, they feature stories with Kit Carson, Ben Franklin, Roy Rogers, Lou Gerhig, and more Conditions run from 1.0- 3.5 Opening bid $50- less than eight dollars a book As of noon, monday, bids are $150 for Boy Commandos, and $100 for the lot of Schomburg covers.

I'd say there is about a 9% chance of that.

There is no silver in pre-1964 nickels, with the exception of some years during WW2.

Thank you, Sir. May I have another?

There are three companies that slab comics.

It wouldn't keep me from buying the book if I was a reader, nor does it leap out and tell me to pick up the book if I wasn't going to anyway.

If you sell it for less than 10.9K you are losing money. You are into it for 10.9K, not 10K. I don't care what it is worth, I care what it sells for. If I'm selling for less than I paid, I get grumpy.

Or you are using them to warehouse your books for you. I'm sure there is some of that in play.

I try to keep about a hundred books listed. Whenever I get down to 70-80, I send in another couple dozen. I price aggressively and it is work keeping track of what books need price adjustments. I lower most prices every thirty days.

Until it is marked as paid, it isn't sold. The good thing is MCS does all the work.

Superman is super-needy.

In my case, one was a $182 offer on a book I was asking $207 on. He offered 167, I countered with $182 and it was accepted June 10th. The other is a $52 offer on a $60 book. In both cases, I'm into them for almost nothing. They may still pay, or the books will be relisted. Neither was an auction. If an auction winner doesn't pay, I think MCS offers the option of seeing if the runner-up wants the book, but I'm not sure how it works. I know a few years ago, I was outbid on a TTA27 and was offered the book when the winner didn't pay. I'm not sure what MCS can do about these non-payers besides banning the worst offenders, but even that doesn't get me paid.

I have two offers that were accepted that look like they may fall thru. There is nothing I can do about it, so I just don't count on a book being sold until the buyer actually pays for it. It's not a perfect system, just the best one I've come across.

Starlin used to draw himself and his friends into his comics. One episode, he and two Marvel guys tried to mug Shang Chi. He might deny it, but I'm almost positive he based Dreadstar on what he looks like in his minds eye.

One of my least favorite, and most difficult to get through, stories I've ever encountered.
