BZ,

I always liked the Action 17 cover and I assumed that the toys that came out later were based on the appeal of the early Superman covers. Do you have any of their toys like the roll over tank?

Peter has all of them.

looking for a second copy + #5

Mark why haven't you filed a complaint with the district clerk?

carolinaComix,

 

Pretty sure Brad Savage is still selling comic related items on eBay. greggy used to know his handle. Brad used to send out quarterly for sale lists to his mail order clients and was willing to trade for his Annette Funiciello wants.

 

Someone compared him to Howard Hughes earlier in this thread which I thought was funny. I can see him now putting on gloves before he handled any one book or screaming a kids if they got to close the table. To me this kind of stuff is humorous.

Just my 2 cents about Brad Savage. He still owes me $300 for a restored Avengers 4 he sold me and I returned PERSONALLY to his house/shack in upstate NY. He did a ton of business on Ebay and was always fighting with them for some reason or another. Its been a few years now so I don't remember his ebay user name or if he is still around. He wasn't a well person when I was talking to him and a Howard Hughes type individual. With the artwork PINNED on his walls in the house he probably could have bought a mansion. Old beat up car, clothes everywhere, books and artwork everywhere BUT it had to be worth a fortune. I don't remember which VERY early FF (below issue 10) artwork was hanging but I think it was almost complete. He was a real nut with Marilyn Monroe memorabilia and had some killer looking Avengers 4 and also other keys including an FF1.

 

I am positive that I won't be seeing the rest of my refund from him...I should have gotten the whole thing when I was there.

What else do you remember about him. This is all very interesting to me. He must of had some knowledge about selling, because where else was he getting to money to place such high bids? Where is he now? And does he continue to sell comic books?

Did not realized the J Maybruck interview was over 2 hrs long. Twice could not stay to listen to the end of the Comic Zone on the weekend because it was dinner time or nap time. No option to toggle to the last 30 mins of the interview either.

 

Exactly--I was "trapped" into listening to it to the end because I'd already invested too much time to "quit."

Just pause it and come back

Site is www.comiczoneradio.com. I believe you can easily downlaod the show onto your Itunes and fast forward through it as well as fast forward through it on the CZR site itself.

 

I am glad you are all enjoying it- just wait til the 2nd part is up this Wed! It is going to be killer.

Listening to it now this is great! (thumbs u (thumbs u

Guys-

 

When I started doing the CZ there were two guests I wanted- Ditko and Jay Maybruck. I don't think I will ever get Ditko (if you have his # please PM it to me) but I finally got Jay on the show. For those of you who do not know about Sparkle City Comics they were the biggest dealers in the late 70s to early 90s. Much of what we experience today in the comic market can be attributed to Sparkle in some way. The interview consists about Jay's early days and what eventually led to his downfall. It is a tale of comic dealing, love, drugs, hookers and betrayal. The interview is almost 2 1/2 hours and it is worth listening to every second of it. You will learn a lot about comic history and how 1 man's wrong decision led to life-long regret.

You should also check out the ebay lot with the Sparkle City Memorabilia Set. It is really cool and will help a good cause.

You ought to try and get Dave Anderson the dentist. He would make one hell of guest on the show.

Vinny,

 

Tremendous interview with Jay. I mean just riveting stuff. The Brad Savage story was redunkulous... how did you end up not assaulting him?

 

Maybe because hes like 6ft 5in and 250lbs?

who is Brad Savage ???

Brad Savage was anger management out of control, so much that he would rip up his own books. He mostly sold all new stuff at sky high prices, if a book was hot and fairly new and hot, he would have it. Lo and behold if a kid came over looking for that book and Brad had high price on it (which was always), and the kid turned down Brad's price, that would set him off. Parents would come over and get confrontational, and it would make other buyers steer away. Sometimes he would just berate convention goers for not buying his stuff, out aloud, not many organizers could not handle him. He was his own worst enemy, so in a nut shell ( pun intended) that was Brad Savage.

 

Link to the Interview please ?

Both have cool covers but I'd take the National #1

Why didnt you go for john Mclaughlins copy Rich?..That was a real[All story beauty] Former owner of the book sale and huge pulp collector for those who dont know.I purchased his copies of[ The Reign of the superman] and his copy of motion picture funnies weekly # 1.A very very ecsentric character to say the least.

I tried! I bid what I thought at the time was a strong amount...$40,000. It went for about $60,000. Who'd a thunk?

 

Damn

thanks goodness I have no desire to collect pulps ...whew

 

Wasn't that one restored? Amateur...

From what I understand many of the nicest pulps have beeb reglued at the spine.Pulps are considered more like a book than a comic.So its no big deal to a pulp collector.At least thats what ive been told.

Great thanks for the info.

Nice book w/ or without the seal. BZ's copy is one I want to see.

Not that I recall. It was a beautiful thing to behold. And McLaughlin had a cool custom presentation box made for it.

Is this the one you are referring too?

how bout Bangzooms copy??

Do you have a scan of it. I can't find it in his thread?

TEC 1

If someone has a ridiculous Ask Price for a book...oh, let's see, for example $1949 for a restored AF 15 CGC 1.0...is it cool to take them to task here on the boards? Or should that be conducted only at the PM level?

I was thinking the exact same thing you were
