Black Bat

Another big head ghoul coming through a door.

These three for sure... not sure about the others, my records are a bit spotty. Solid low grade less popular covers. The lighting is warm on the second book, colors are actually nice and whites are white.

Take

Ha ha, I was joking about the trade... actually I thought I was buying the book when I got this. It has the certificate but no signature. Got it off CC BIN about a year ago. I sucked up 4 or 5 decent Cole Crime BINs too.

Here's my only Cole proof... wanna trade?

Ha ha- got an extra 20???

Where's your #3 & #4? Those are fairly common no?

Nice! Glows like a rainbow! The purples greens and reds in the blue water, man oh man! Now I gotta start searching for an upgrade. And definitely my favorite shark cover with the spear down the throat (and this is coming from a shark advocate!).

yes, but I kinda wish my copy was't quite SO charming... ha ha.

I gave it a conservative five, but i think it would grade higher. Theres very small spits top and bottom and small tear/wear around staples but otherwise clean bright and sharp.

I was going through a few boxes and pulled out several non-pch books that I acquired over the past year. Never really considered them as a group but I really like it!

I need to get used to seeing books in boxes with $3200 price tags.

No, but I got this on Clink a few weeks ago...

Yes, the line work is thicker, noticeable on the men's clothes and the detail in the capitol dome (although maybe that's from a richer color strike). But check out the white circle that's supposed to be the BG for the superior logo. Many of my Superiors look as if the registration is off, which would produce thicker lines, and also color bleeding into unintended areas. Check out the detail on the cover of Strange Mysteries 11, the area around the hand, phone and skull are so out of register that it almost looks like it was printed for 3D!

Yes, sometimes it takes decades to develop the refined taste required to truly appreciate the AFS books!

I totally admire the work of the EC artists, Engles was recently pointed out to me, also Wolverton etc, but I'm also a big fan of art by "insane" people, children, and folk artists. So yeah I guess I appreciate untrained artists with something to say. Maybe it's more of a style thing than a skill thing. Matt Fox, LB Cole, Fletcher Hanks. When you couple that style approach with the fantastic (not fantasy) and horror, then for me the "best" of the Farrell/Ajax/Superior type books have it all. I mean what's cooler than this??? The creator may not be a "good" artist, but I think this is good art!

I love that none are slabbed. They look so much better!

Just in from CLink- notice a theme?

Well lately the boards have been frustrating for me because people with super fast connections immediately scoop up everything golden, it’s like a competition who can get the most. Great for sellers if these sharks are feasting on their thread, but for buyers not so much. At the same time I’ve bought dozens of fine books here from cool folks, so there are plenty of opportunities. But at least on eBay and the auction sites I know I can the squire books if I want them bad enough and have the means.

This thread is great- is there anyway to get rid of that poll on top of each page?? It’s super annoying on a phone.

Wow the Eerie 25 is really something!! Thanks for posting.

Take- I love whales and monsters! Win win!!
