Cheers, just posted link there.

Where would be best place to post info about items of interest being auctioned soon?

My # 1 and # 5 of Amazing Adventures are US versions. Numbers 2, 3 and 4 are Millers. 2 and 3 have no stamp or sticker, so it looks like they went out to the shops with a cover price of 10 cents. The 9d stamp on # 4 could have been applied by Miller, but possibly by the retailer. It looks a little crude. So, are there any stamped 1, 2 and 3 Millers? Or did they sit in the racks inviting the public to hand over a dime?

Ask this lot, they are looking after them for me.

Not sure if this stamp has turned up previously?

Is that a typo for nuisance?

Above and beyond the call of duty!

But I don't have a cents Wyatt to compare it with. Now my curiosity may never be satisfied.

Anyone notice how those pesky Miller people have forced the printers to move the whole inside front cover up by a whole quarter of an inch, to make room for the info at the bottom? Just hope they didn't miss their tea break with all the extra work. Don't suppose it matters much in the grand scheme of things, but I can't help wondering whether they had to do the same for the inside back cover.

Hope he has not been abducted by a tyrant from an alien dimension, they are pretty common hereabouts. If so, there will be a ransom demand, and if we don't pay up they will send him back.

Hey, Anyone heard from Marwood lately? More than a week since his last post here, which must be his longest period of silence on record. Maybe has just come to his senses and realised that there are more important things than these ramblings. Awaiting developments.

............and the Price Guide gives credit to Gary Fox, who I think we have heard from previously. Still in the Fox collection?

Wyatt, Wyatt, come out wherever you are! Gawsh, pardner, ya got me, after hiding in plain sight for over 40 years, on page 16 of Alan Austin's price guide of February 1979.

Eventually Marvel/Atlas would have printed the 'produced in USA' info, thus relieving Miller of the responsibility. How long were the stamped versions in circulation? Just the first month or longer?

My eyes have now been opened, too, but 'too late, too late was the cry'. Any info on how long Millers had to carry on stamping before they got the job done at the other end?

Never crossed my path. If it had, I would have scorned it, and left it to the next peruser. It has recently been a source of great regret that my tunnel vision in my earlier days left many, many treasures unsnapped up in my wake.

This has resided in my collection since time immemorial, and has just been dredged up from the furthermost recesses. I had forgotten all about it, and it is not logged in the list I made of my Marvels in the 1970s, probably because I did not at that time consider Westerns mainstream enough. I have just read through it, and nothing in it rings a bell, so either I did not deem it worthy of five minutes of my time back then, or those neurons which once held the sensory impressions have been overwritten or washed away by C2H5OH. I incline to the latter.

I think this has been posted before, but I make no excuses, as it is quite a nice copy, and it has the printed in USA Miller stamp. This needs an explanation. Why would Millers have thought it necessary to add this information? Would it have mattered to the prospective readership of the day? If I had been consulted at the time, I would have found it a matter of supreme indifference as to whether the mag had first seen the light of day in Sparta, Illinois or in Outer Mongolia. Maybe other theories could be devised, but I suspect the involvement of those nitpicking jobsworths, sorry, stalwart defenders of our shores, Customs & Excise. Are these stamps only to be found on the first Miller arrivals? What would be the latest to have a stamp instead of the indicia with printed USA origin info?

This is taxing my few remaining little grey cells. See you after weekend.

And now he's on he other side, too. Hope he and Cynthia will be happy together.
