Yes, just an auction listing of Dr. Brody's 31 GA books coming up for auction, but still no actual back story or info on the collector himself.  

uh….we can only provide as much information as a client permits us to share. 
 

Have Great New Year everyone

This eBay listing is NOT a Heritage listing. Presumably listed by the 100% legitimate buyer using our images, which We have no problem with.

Just an update.

To address a few issues.

The consignor is a major EU dealer who attended the Lake Como show which Mignola also attended. We have never had an issue with him over the years. 

As many of you are aware, we take in may consignments at the deadline. This one slipped through.

Mike immediately, confirmed that this is not authentic

Summer of 1949 the scarce final issue of THE SHADOW...

How about this Shadow Horror cover..

That's in great shape! Cool cover, too. And what a cool name for a magazine: Unknown. Later in 1940, July I think, Theodore Sturgeon published a favorite story of mine, with the extremely creepy but very succinct name of It. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find so much as a cover image for that particular issue (which I'd love to own someday).

 

 

..while not as well known as others, UNKNOWN is considered one of the best.. sexy cover, this is newsstand mint, probably a file copy.

 

Also features the Reign of Wizardry for which Frazetta would later create his most provocative cover.

I believe that may have been in the August 1940 issue.

No problem deleted the comment and link.

 

a high grade Weird Tales, Finlay cover. Looks like Lord of the Rings!

By the way, if we were looking at it from a comic art point of view you would promise that this is a classic Kirby layout with the faces coming at you in distress! March 1939 coincides with Jack's entrance into the business.

..a classic Baumhofer GG cover. Newsstand mint, looks like it has never been read.

..and the Bookery description reads "classic cover mad scientist about to decapitate GG and replace her head with that of a gorilla's"

Early, with a Senf cover

Here is a classic 1st issue Jerome Rosen cover.

added it to ebay

How about this stretch for a tie-in, the teaser at the beginning of the story reads,

"What supernatural hand had sent these screaming "Bat Men" down from the skies..."

Seemingly unread copy

That classic cover was used on Dime Mystery as well as Terror Tales,just a great bondage cover either way

 

 

Funny Here is Dime Mystery from the same year (Feb-May of 1938) looks like the same artist, same woman, yet I have not been able to find any attribution.

 

 

 

The Feb issue is by artist John Drew, the other two are by David Berger.

Thank you!

Understand both sides of it. Sellers want reserves buyers do not. What really counts, is how reasonable the reserve is and if the item is worth the price.

By the way, just because an item does not have a reserve does not mean it gets noticed. Most buyers get very myopic missing out on great opportunities.
