Yes Severin was the “man” at Cracked. He did so much great work got them. One of the major reasons it was so competitive with MAD fit so many years.

That  is a killer cover! Never seen it. What number is it? I need to search out a copy. 

It's issue #38. Here's a sneak peek at the inside cover.

Do Tales sell for a bit? 

The photo covers do.

#23 in 9.8 sold for nearly $500 iirc

The rest $15 each roughly - there is the odd one,such as #9 which goes for $70 - $100 depending on condition.

Huh, interesting. Pity, I think mine have been a bit 'well loved'.

Picked this up a couple of months ago at a tag sale at a former bookseller’s house. Soooooooo many books but obviously the dregs of many years accumulating unsellable stock. 
 

Worth a buck just for the infamous author.

As I was about to go to sleep I see notifications that a dealer friend shared an online post. He knows I like Batman hence his alert. Initially the deal was for all the Batmans and then the seller told me he had some Marvels. So at that point it became a take all deal. The seller generously met me midway. It was only a 10 min drive from me with no Father's Day traffic. Typically I don't pay a lot for a little but I spent $17.50 per book.

Some excellent books there, including the Batman 199 which is one of my favorites - nice score! I previously looked up all of the books that appear on the news guy's stand on the cover of that book for fun, here they are:

Here's the Batman 199:

 

And here are the covers on there:

Awesome finds!

That Thing From Another World Series seems to sell for high amounts (that series you have the issue for and some from the Dark Horse run)...any ideas why?

Horror collectors are a different breed. They/we will pay big time for things that other collectors would likely pass over. So, a Dark Horse tie-in to a beloved John Carpenter classic is a recipe for success. (And yes, although the title is taken from the Hawks "Thing From Another World", itself an adaptation of the John Campbell story "Who Goes There", the DH comics definitely take their cue from the JC flick.)

I'm always on the lookout for comics related to horror films, for myself, and for resale. In addition to the Thing books, I'm always on the lookout for Jason vs Leatherface from Topps, Leatherface from North Star, the various Halloween series from Chaos, Army of Darkness from DH, Nightmare on Elm Street from Innovation, etc. You can't go wrong with any of that stuff if you find it cheap enough.

As for Lost in Space, it's an interesting book, there are a couple of great bondage covers in there for sure. That's one I'm always looking for in the dollar bins.

Community garage sale pickup, 25c each, also FN/VF run of Shogun Warriors 1-19; the polybagged Comics and Stories books look good enough to submit!

That’s a gold mine. To many it might not look like it but sold values of Radioactive Man 1 surprise me. I still need a TreeHouse of Horror 1

[ADAMANTIUM]

Found these today for $11 total.

 

The Marc Spector moon knight had a following for a while.

 

The Deadpool's may be second best.

 

The other is just speculation but the Spider-Men 2 variant sells for some coin evidently.

 

The xforce is a first app as well
