BZ, You are really a sci-fi junkie at heart - just like many other kids born in the 50's ... i'm taking a wild guess here

That's hot - that chick is on fire....

Happy 4th Citizens Hey BZ - watch out with those 'cracker's so close to them nice funny books!!!

C'mon - he got a new scanner and is scanning hundreds of comics, pulps, toys, records, movie posters and Arkham House books like a busy bee, so he can blow this board away with a sudden re-appearance Well, we can dream can't we....

I wish, but no. Found this on page 22 - of course,maybe he has one, but just not near mint with full gloss and bone-white pages

That too! Not sure of the date but definitely early. Beside being one of my favorite early Peanuts daily strips, I bet it runs the table $ wise as well... looove the small ear Snoopy

It is very surprising Howz this for a strong opinion If I was going to spend a half a house on a funny book - it sure wouldn't be on no common like AF 15 - i don't care that the grade is 9.4 - there are (to quote Carl Sagan...) billions and billions of stars ... many, many people can say they own a copy of AF15 - very, very few people can say they own a copy of Marvel 1. Of course, it doesn't help that Steve picked that common November copy - I think a nice 8.5 October copy would have sealed the deal

I know. Your collection RULES Thanks so much for sharing its diversity and letting everyone blather The pleasure is all mine. In answer to the question, do I have a 1st edition of Tarzan of.........? Wow... You collect ALL the cool stuff - Comics, Burroughs, Pulps, Arkhams, Gnome Press - I would assume Fantasy Press, FPCI and the other Sci-Fi specialty publishers also My Old Man was a radio enthusiast in the 20's who was influenced by Hugo Gernsback's Electrical Experimenter ... Ralph 124C41 and all that ... so I came under the influence as well. You probably got those too...

I (ashamedly) asked way back in this thread whether BZ had this - but it is a tough pull - and I doubt it - (sorry ) I believe there are only about 20 known copies and only 7 known copies with any portion of the D/J present, thus the price for a full D/J copy. The Burroughs Publishing 1st eds are relatively easier to get if you have the $$$$. Many pristine DJ's were left in his estate so they can be had, but it is kind of like saying that Mile High copies can be had - this is still an unbelievable concentration of high grade copies Of course, BZ did flash us that title shot of Tarzan of The Apes in the Argosy All Story - which may be rarer than the McClurg 1st Ed - so go figure Who KNOWS what is on them shelves??

Richard, I have a copy of the book, but it's without the dust jacket. The best I can do is offer up a picture of the BLB or the serialized version which ran in Argosy All-Story 12/9/22 to 1/20/23. BZ, please ignore the goofy looking guy at left but keep in mind I, er, he is 6 ft. 5 in. This is a HUGE Jeff Jones Tarzan painting done as a commission after he did a calendar of Tarzan images in the late '90s. I got it indirectly through Heritage a few years back. Before getting it I thought comics were the be all and end all. But now I get to wake up every day and stare at this! So there you go....some All-Story please! Un-bee-lievable... you need a McMansion with 20 foot ceilings to hang that properly

Stunning... thanks

Thanks Harvey, If I can finish up with some painting we're doing around here, I was thinking of showing off some Burroughs books today or maybe some Fiction House comics and artwork. Burroughs Burroughs Pleeez Howz about some John Coleman Burroughs DJ artwork ? That would be sooooo coool

Er.. nice Bullets...

They're sand hogs. That stuff must HURT without any shirts on Seriously though - that is about the most different colors i've seen on a comic cover - Great stuff.
