I just bought these two books on a hunch for very cheap on ebay. I don't know their value so if someone could help me out. I'll upload the pics soon and the sale.

Thanks

50 cent cover,NM-

B/W, Publ-Apex Novelties

Appears first print

[50 Cent #II (1st)]

Need scans of the Freak Brothers or a link to the auction, the Funny Aminals is a nice find if you got it for cheap (only one print).

[Jonah Hex]

After some research it looks like the Furry Freak #1 is print 5. It has the cross hatchings over the coppers bats and the purple-green off color on the front top cover.

Any idea of the value of either? I've contacted the guy aout more but these were the only two he had. They look great anyways so I'mhappy with the deal.

Funny Aminals #1 often breaks $100 in grade and contains the first incarnation of Art Spiegelman's Maus (4 pages). Nice moves.

Nice for $3! The Freak Brothers is so complex on the printing history, but you can check here for my research so far...

Checked that before. Thats how I came up with the info telling me it was a 5'th/6'th print. ( your research is unclear about which actually came out 1'st!)

Thanks for all that,it really helped although it was really hard to find!

So what are the two valued at apprx.?

[Fandango]

In VF? Funny Aminals #1 ($50-$60), Freak Bros #1 5th ($15-$25).

They look undergraded too. Listed as F+, I would gather more VF/NM.

Nice!

Jim, the R. Crumb Comics and Stories that you have is somewhere between a 4th and 9th printing. The first 3 printings did not have a cover price. Determining which printing you have between 4th and 9th depends on several things, such as interior color and cover finish.

 

A 10th printing would have a 50 cent cover price.

 

Hope this helps.

Haven't even seen Donahue copies go for that much so I'm not so sure "easily" is viable.
