Damn those gore books look cool

[EwanUK]

I love this thread so thrilled to be able to contribute with my little find

 

Bought a collection today that had been in someone's "mother-in-law's attic" for 30 years

 

Wow - a real, genuine "ATTIC FIND" I thought !!!!

 

I'm in England, so unlikely to be full of Action no.1s - but maybe some Silver-Age gems...?

 

Well....

 

Here's the box... A Christmas Hamper box... it looks old...

... Got it home and peeked inside...

 

the first thing I saw was the indicia of Showcase no.29... a coverless Showcase no.29

 

I thought.... crikey.. this is it....

 

There MUST therefore be a Showcase no.22 in the pile.... heart quickens

 

VERY next book: Green Lantern no.78 in ok grade

 

Breath goes... there MUST therefore be a GL no.76 in there...

 

Then...

Well, the owner seemed to have very mixed tastes

 

About 400 books, all low grade... but interesting stuff

 

here's a sample...

 

And damn welll worth it for the excitement factor!

 

p.s. one of these pictures is fake - can you spot it?

They had some comics but nothing spectacular.

As I'm walking away I notice they have some magazines in a box on the ground.

I score this.

 

 

Cool magazine! That's what I would have bought if I was there! Looks to be in great shape. It sells for around $10-20 on eBay.

 

I have a ton of those CARtoons issues.

 

Great job!

I definitely see a vision of twins when I see that cover.

I have no idea why the changed Trimpe's interpretation of Hulk's face, but it's tops.

 

197 and 198 are nice finds!

Found at Half Priced Books for 0.25, I'll take it, thank you!

Went to a great garage sale for my son. Only picked up this stuff, but they had a bunch more figures, some larger ones, even a cardboard cutout of the Hulk. I thought that might be a bit much for his younger brother.

 

 

The picture is from the Captain America movie and is signed by Stan Lee.

One of THE best post unity valiant stories to be sure. I had almost 1000 copies of this book at one point after buying out a couple of stores. I sincerely regret not decorating my entire living room with them to give my girlfriend at the time a heart attack.
