Best of DC Blue Ribbon Digest #60: Classic weird humor reprints from Wally Wood, Bernie Wrightson, Basil Wolverton, Sergio Aragones, Frank Robbins, and many others! VG+. FREE with the next in the thread...!

Early '70s DC Counterculture/Drug Lot: Includes the following… • Flash #226: In the super groovy backup story, clean-living Green Lantern trips out on magic mushrooms in a code-approved book, courtesy of Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams! VG. • Brave and Bold #94: Batman meets the "Don't Trust Anyone Over 30" crowd, as presented by Bob Haney and Nick Cardy -- both of whom were gloriously over 30 at the time they created this one, and God bless 'em for it! Looks and feels VF/NM or so, but a stain on the lower rhc of the back cover (which migrates to the same spot on the last few pages) knocks it down. $10 + shipping for both.

Up next...a two-book dispatch from the counterculture, DC-style, ca. 1970 - 1973!! Stay tuned in, baby!!!

Captain Marvel Lot: Includes the following 7 issues: 46, 47, 48, 52, 54, 55, 56. Grades are in the Fine range, with a few closer to F/VF. Think the post-Starlin issues are lackluster and boring? Hardly! Check out the two interior pages pictured below, courtesy of Chris Claremont and Al Milgrom (clearly influenced by Starlin's work) -- things were still PLENTY black-light funky during the 1976 - 1978 era! $10 with NO extra shipping charge for the lot to anyone who has already made a purchase in this thread, or to anyone who makes a purchase going forward.

Sorry for the sluggish pace of this thread! I'll be listing some more books later tonight. In the meantime, and until the new listings start later this evening, take 20% OFF anything not marked as SOLD in the thread so far (single books or multi-issue lots). Also, please feel free to make an offer on any/all of my Masterworks hardcovers and trades listed in the Mixed forum: Marvel Masterworks

(NOTE: Boxed domestic US Priority Mail shipping is included in the price of this lot).

I was in high school when the movie came out...was kinda lukewarm on it at the time, but now love it for the colorful, high-energy, camp classic that it is. Modern-day superhero movies would do well to take note! The comic adaptation is aces -- with his old Warren buddy Bruce Jones scripting, Williamson hit yet another high in a career that was almost nothing but, and if I remember correctly started drawing the Star Wars newspaper strip not long thereafter. It's great stuff...glad it's going to a fan!

Brilliant, thanks! All yours, and at 10% off on the FG lot, too...

Next up...a Marvel/DC treasury lot...
