The Troll King

I'm really surprised someone hasn't already posted this: (I wouldn't mind knowing who owns the other copy in this grade)

Funny Billy, we both just posted tough St. John books at nearly the same time!

I recently picked this book up. It's right up my alley and it's the only one graded. I had never seen the book before so of course I instantly fell for it!

Recent pick-ups

I was actually surprised to see the book still available. If I wasn't already buying pulps here and there for the cool covers I wouldn't have considered this one. Not only is there one bikini clad hottie on this cover, but two!

Matthew, Bill

Fair enough! nike...

Pending my question... is that a pulp or a comic? Comic = heh... it's a pulp, with a full 32 page comic in it! Art by Joe Kubert and John Giunta. I thought it was an honest question Judging by the way the cover is turned in a little on all sides it looks typical of how pulps generally look.

Nah, I know you got some hidden gems in that collection of yours!

Picked this up today! I have it in the grading forum too. Came with a "More Fun Collection" certificate which I was told by both Matt Nelson and Bedrock that our very own Ciorac brought that collection to market!

Cool stuff szelim! You've been busy!

My newest Fiction House pulp

I'm going to post a Strictly Private #1 within the next two days in the marketplace. Pretty hard to find book (and it's a paratrooper cover ) Book posted there now

No better nor worse than the average story. The advantage (from my POV) is that FH had a lot of recurring long-running characters so that the characters were quite well established which helped maintain a level of quality in the story. Sure, it led to repetition but it's better than the inanity of Timely's stories. Overall the stories are more repetitive & less "innovative / inventive" than National's stories but still fun for what they are. In the end, I rank them a step up from most other second-tier publishers thanks to the art. I agree! I'll add that if you're not collecting a Fiction House title (yet) it can be very addicting. The prices are generally pretty reasonable on them too compared to "hero" books.

Looks better than a 6.0 to me. I'm guessing the PQ hurt it. The highest graded copy is a 6.5 My recent pick-up

They're already expensive enough... go away

There's a whole "grading" forum on these boards. By the looks of this photo though I'm thinking a 3.0-3.5 :shrug: Scans would be best along with a back cover. Post it in the grading forum

My latest OA piece: Herc Ficklen 1960's mens magazine cartoon

Ask him? Seriously though... Greg does not do sketches normally besides his goofy Emma Frost. If you get a chance to see him, ask him, or email him.

My latest Ped book. Book is stunning in hand!

These first two are from a board member too and the third one is another fairly recent pick-up:

Here's another recent pick-up (from a board member)

Don't recall posting this one either:

Glad someone bumped this thread. Here's a few I've picked up over the past few months that I don't recall displaying: DO these count? Some others:
