I've never heard of these either - looks like a fun book. Is it science fiction?

 

No. He is a Batman type character. A "super-detective". Strong, fast, smart, athletic, wears a costume, fights crime.

There was an article about the Blue Streak book in an issue of Comic Book Marketplace and I went out and found a copy. I miss CBM. It always made my wantlist even longer.

There are at least 30 of those Whitman books. They are mostly comic related but I have Ginger Rogers and Shirley Temple and a few others that are not from the comics.

I like to collect these too and I have found a lot in the 10-20 dollar range. Higher grades may go for more. Blue streak with white pages may be much higher. Pages yellow due to paper quality.

:applause:

 

I assume they are text with full page illos every so many pages, right?

 

How many are there? Do you only buy those with comics connections? How much $$ do they run (if you don't mind)?

 

:popcorn:

 

I count 36 volumes. And you are correct in the format. I do prefer the ones with comic connections, although I've considered some of the others.

 

Very inexpensive. One or two are close to $100, but the rest can be had for under $25.

No kidding? That's cool!

 

These are a little late for the GA forum, but this seems like an appropriate place to put them. A couple of British digests from 1961-62 with Elric stories. The 47 is the first appearance of Elric in print.

And here is the first Elric book from 1962, UK true first edition, first state, unclipped dj.
