P.S. I have a feeling that the expert grader is the world renowned Chuck R.

Notice how this person avoids our number 1 question i.e. Who is the grader? and offers answers to questions no one asked such as Are you a comic grader? and How many books have you sent in?

Black AIU covers are usually good.

The best way to expose a conspiracy in a company is always on that company's own website.

One of the coolest drawings of the Torch on that #11, Gotta pick one of those up sometime.

Some sweet Pulps I see!

I like AIUs!

no...

 

I don't recall if I've ever shown this comparison on the boards.

 

The art is Kinstler and Avon towards the end of the company, circa 1954 / 1955 started to recycle art and stories BUT this being POST Code, some minor adjustments had to be made ... such as the shirt of this heroine: the shirt is mysteriously mended and the neckline on the shirt is so much more modest in the post code version. Another discussion could focus on the coloring choices on the post code version

 

Brand new slab that came back with a big booger streak on it:

 

 

 

Here are a few more warm-ups for The Thing.

 

This is a great cover, with a really dynamic splash page. A Two-Headed Thing!

Oh, this is one of the lesser White Mountian copies (damn you Marvel Chipping!).

 

Another orange monster...

 

Great books Scrooge! Definitely a lot of value in low-grade Atlas. Black Knight is my favorite Atlas series with some of the best art I have ever seen to date. (Yellow Claw is in 2nd BTW). I'm diggin those Mad rip-offs too.

 

Thanks! I would like to add some Yellow Claws to my collection but I doubt I could find them for $16 (which IIRC is what I paid for the Black Knight I was happy with the price) The Jungle books from Atlas are also great btw. Not to everyone's tastes but pleasant art always.

Thanks, not easy to come by... either. Destroyer covers ROCK! Haven't seen this character in the modern era for a while...... any news anyone?

PS LMK if you find a Mystic #4 not suited to your collecting tastes.

GREAT BOOK!!!

 

I like them both Billy, but I like the Plas better

one tough bugger, had to settle on this copy:

 

9 MORE TO GO!

 

trust me...as a run builder, I have settled many times, but eventually, I have always found an upgrade (sometimes sooner than later, sometimes the other way around)

keep the faith!

The first thread to ever ask a question and answer it in full in the first post. :winnah:

BZ's Back! YAY!

That is a cool book Scrooge!

I can picture you awake at 2 AM with a pyramid of empty Coke Zero's posting greamlins and scanned books over and over while repeating "gotta beat greggy, gotta beat greggy"
