Strange Tales #81 VG? -- asking $100 + shipping

This is a tough one to grade. Structurally it is about a 7.0, but it is missing that chip out of the spine. Spine is not split above or below the chip, and I am not sure what would have caused it. There are also some spots in the front cover gloss, and a few of them have very light stains on the interior front cover as well. Paper all seems fine. Centerfold is detached at the top staple but firmly attached at bottom, cover is attached at both.

No new sightings of a 15, but if I do stumble upon one in the Jungle, you'll be the first person to know! 

 

Any Jungles coming up? Maybe a 15?

Here's one that comes around once in a blue moon in a green jungle.

All of seven copies total on the census. I've been hankering for this issue for lo the past 4 years. 

 

Under bidder to you on that one. Glad it went your way after a four year search! Hope I don't have to wait that long for another copy though...

Cool. I no longer have a copy of 12, but I believe below are the stories in that issue, which total 56 pages. Not inclusive of the cover of course. For what it's worth I also think GCD and Keltner may be incorrect on the page count. GCD's own index totals up to 55 interior pages! 

18 page Cap

7 page Destroyer

1 page Sentinels of Liberty

8 page Jap Buster Jones

2 page Decision by proxy

5 page Jeep Jones

7 page Sgt Dix

7 page Whizzer

1 page ad

Total of 56 pages.

Interesting.  I counted 3 times, just to make sure pages weren’t sticking together or whatnot.  Counting the front cover as “page” 1, ending with the back cover page as “page” 28.  That’s what I have.  So, I have no clue what’s happening.

How many pages to the centerfold on your copy?

USA 12 has 56 interior pages, not counting the cover. It's one of those war time issues where they use 4 half pages if I remember correctly. Sounds like your copy might be missing the centerfold.

take Avengers 25

Thanks!! I would have been remiss and most irresponsible not to have one Edgar book in my Fox collection. 

With today's prices, having one Church Fox is quite the accomplishment. Particularly an early 9.4 Mystery Men! Well done good sir!!

Well, with the Fox thread well-oiled and humming, I'll toss in this one, which I don't think I've shared on the boards before.

So you are saying that this book, being the 5th, follows after the 4th, and is followed by the 6th?

Whoa!

and some people think Parker is the snarky one..

In the 'old days" comics wern't worth what they are today (although, everything was relative). I was about 15 when I met Gary Coddington. You old guys might remember him. He was, at the time, maybe the biggest Superman collector. He was disabled due to kidney failure. But he had everything. Comics, toys, movie stuff, everything related to Superman.

Was over at his house one day and we were looking at his comics. All stored neatly in piles on shelves in his room. Entire runs. After about 20 or so, I got a little crosseyed. He asked me if I wanted to read his Action #1. I sat on the floor and read it, carefully. Then Superman #1 and so on. What a day...

$1,500 for a comic book in those days was a LOT of money.

Great story RM! Reading an original Action 1, what a treat! I love hearing stories from the early days of collecting, particularly when the GA comics were in raw stacks and started at issue number one!!
