  1. I don't have a Better v3_3 but I think I found an inspiration for it in my pulp collection
  2. Hi Ivan Got a copy of Grand Slam V3_7 that I scanned (9MB) I'm going to attach to this post if it lets me. If its too big to attach we can meet up soon and give it to you in person. I have an image of The Jinx from from the 2019 sale but you probably have that one already. Let me look at the rest of this list and see if I have more.
  3. One of my favourites (I have two of them)
  4. A Canadian comic is one that was actually printed in Canada. Is this a book that was printed in the US or UK for distribution in other parts of the world like Canada?
  5. My question are: 1) Why would a US publisher print a comic in the US before the embargo of US comics that prevented US comics coming in during wartime be considered a Canadian wartime comic when it is obviously like any old comic printed in the US that was allowed for sale in Canada? Answer: They can, contract or open a plant and print books in any country for economic reasons and, for example , distribute them at a cheaper cost. Printing in Canada allows them to ship to the British Territories which Better Publications of Canada did in Toronto in later years when they opened a branch plant to reprint US issues and take advantage of cost savings as a result The only other similarity I see is it has a Pseudo title that is similar in nature to how Canadian Comics from 40's-50's reprinted material with generic titles like this and were reprints of US material. These books are interesting books if sold on the open market like ebay or the Auction houses and I suggest you sell them there to reach the widest group of collectors.
  6. Hi I have 6 of these Can only dig of 4 of them now) and they are rebound books that Export sold single then rebound many under various titles Big Bargain, Big Master, Big Giant, Big Holiday and Romance-Adventure Thrills for example. None of mine match your stories exactly and they may have made at least 6 issues of each of these titles I've seen 2 Big Master issues with the same cover but different books inside so each may have a unique set of remaindered books Jim
  7. I thought this was going to be about comic related bed sheets and those who still slept in them.
  8. If it arrived in a longbox from Japan you might have a got a rise out of these comic collectors.
  9. My raw copy is not so great with cover off on one staple and centerfold off on both staples with folds and tears on the CF edge as a result. I couldn't tell you its grade only that it looks like it was well loved by its reader.
  10. The Postman delivers! Great set of GA books, great price, great packaging....Great guy (thumbs u
  11. Unless it was neglected due to a certain date (Feb 14th) and the OP's true life romance that inspired her post here. I suspect some nice new covers, when they arrive, will be populating this thread at some point soon to keep it's comic heart beating.
  12. It's too bad Gerry doesn't do a blog like Chuck R because he sure could give him a run for his money.
  13. I received an excellent set of FF books both fast with a great cross border shipping cost.
  14. I still think they are waiting until they can bundle it with the new DukeNukem release. (This book is so overdue I'm recycling my jokes about it) This is what happens when millionaires try to write a book together instead of a starving author
  15. Some people get a custom title just for being an You could try that
  16. Received a great set of books, well packaged and graded. (thumbs u
  17. Christmas is a time for charity and forgiveness so I think it would also be a good time for "pardoning" some probation members, if they express a desire and the petitioning member agrees. Not all are bad to the bone repeat offenders, and just hit bad times or had buyers/sellers ego clashes. It sure would be nice if the list could shrink instead of constantly get bigger and bigger
  18. Well it's nice to know that when all the lights go out in the other threads and forums this one will still be here to lets us know what happened.
  19. Sounds like they heard you were a deadbeat, trying to sell stuff here while ignoring your obligations and promises to pay. I don't see a problem here except you. Oh, and I don't consider AC a basic need, nor something that requires throwing honesty and integrity out the open window, but then I don't dwell in hell...
  20. I got my Planet #67 and Ghostly Weird Stories #124 and they were exactly as described. (thumbs u I wish I grabbed more.
  21. Got my two books today I appreciate the fast, well packaged, low cost shipping and the easy to remove tape
