You are seeing a comic book that many thought did not exist. This is the cover of IF AN A-BOMB FALLS. This COLD WAR CIVIL DEFENSE COMIC BOOK was produced in 1951, at the height of ATOMIC PARANOIA. The rarity of this comic book cannot be overstated. If an A-Bomb Falls (U S Government, 1951, 8 pages) Rare. Designed as a brochure, but only published as a color strip on the front page of the Washington Post in July 1951. Only a handful of copies of the brochure were made. Copy has wear and some tears along the right hand side of cover. Complete and unrestored. Extremely rare. SOLD

That is correct. Who knows. Perhaps a gracious board member who owns more than one of the Australian editions will give me the opportunity to acquire a copy!

Indeed I do

I picked up a copy of the very rare Is This Tomorrow Ashcan advance copy

Yes

Only ONE Book left. My Friend Irma # 43 with a classic Dan De Carlo Cover. Grades about 5.5 raw with creamy supple pages and is complete with a tight centerfold. ONLY $99.00 firm shipped to the Continental United States and Canada.

After a decade of searching I unearthed a Cold War/Anti-Communist grail for my collection. Published in 1947, this notorious Is This Tomorrow Advance Variant surfaced at Wizard World Chicago. Very rare with only 4 known copies in existence. Overstreet says "Contains -script and art edited out of the color edition, including one page of extreme violence showing [a] mob nailing a Cardinal to a door... the two black and white copies listed... surfaced in 1979 from the [Catechetical] Guild's old files in St. Paul, Minnesota." The message printed on the cover even states that the comic "contains a number of errors that we are now correcting." The cover message goes on to solicit suggestions regarding distribution as well as how to improve the content. And the back cover message is also tantalizing: it asks for ideas on what might be included in a planned future promotional comic with the working title This Is The Answer, which would have elaborated on the alternative to communism. See image of the colour version that had 4 million copies published.

Next up. Ghost Comics # 11. Scarce last issue with a really creepy cover. Complete and unrestored with cream to off-white pages and tight centerfold. 1" tear on first page.... 4.5 raw copy BONUS....I will include the following book for free: Monster Comics # 2. Looks Gorgeous. HOWEVER, Spine is completely split and tape at top and bottom of spine. Oddly enough pages are creamy and supple and exhibit no brittleness whatsoever. $250.00 Shipped SOLD!

Thought I would start a fun little thread First up. Mister Mystery # 16 with the classic GGA Bondage Cover. Copy has creamy supple pages with tight centerfold and is complete and unrestored. Defects are 1/2" spine split on top and small piece of back cover. SOLD

Hooked! CGC 9.2 Qualified (Sticker Attached to Cover) SOLD! graphically illustrates the dangers of heroin addiction.

In the story told here, drug abuse tears a family apart and ruins two people's lives. The begins with Eddie recounting how he got started smoking pot through peer pressure. He soon learns how to use "H" (heroin) by snorting it and doing "skin pops". He meets a girl who begs him to quit and that only drives him to start shooting up. He soon starts stealing from her to keep the habit going. Eventually he gets his girlfriend hooked on "the junk" and she must start prostituting herself so they can both get their heroin. This miserable life continues for them for a while until one day she overdoses and dies. At the funeral Eddie is shunned by his family and called a murderer by hers. A very sad and scary story with a realistic tone. 32-pages, full-color, all newsprint, 6-in. x 4-in.

Heeling Hitler by Jack Boothe (circa 1941). Staple-bound booklet of Anti-Nazi editorial cartoons by Jack Boothe of the Vancouver Daily Province. Collection published by the city of Vancouver. The Canadian perspective on events is quite interesting for the U.S. reader -- most if not all of these were obviously drawn before the United States entered the war. The cartoons satirize not only Hitler and Mussolini, but also Goering, Goebbels, the Vichy French, Stalin, and even the isolationist stance of Charles Lindbergh. It took me a decade to locate this book.

I will be attending for the first time in 4 years.

Impact # 1 with attractive date stamp on logo. Book is a sharp complete unrestored copy with supple off-white pages and centerfold intact. $99.00 shipped to the Continental USA and Canada
