Well, it's two days into the new year, and I'm broke, so it's time to sell a couple books.

 

 

rules the roost, but PM's are always welcome.

 

Shipping to US and Canada is $5.00, one book or a stack, and I'd prefer not to ship elsewhere, but if you absolutely MUST buy something that needs to be shipped elswhere PM me and we'll work something out.

 

Checks and MO's vastly preferred, but if you absolutely MUST pay with PayPal PM me and we'll work something out.

 

First up, Sherry the Showgirl 6, 1957 Atlas. Pretty copy, except that that this book has THE WORST case of Marvel Chipping I've ever seen. The entire RH edge is gone, along with a couple chips along upper FC, which may not be visible in the scan. Light tanning along open edges of cover, interior is tight and secure, with cream-offwhite pages. Overstreet in VG is $22, asking $12 SOLD!

Flash 106, 6th overall appearance SA Flash, 2nd in his own title. Origin of Gorilla Grodd AND Pied Piper, listed as scarce in Overstreet. This copy is a solid enough copy, has a bit of spine wear, some large dogears, and a moderate amount of rubbing on LH BC, see scan. That being said, it presents reasonably well and has a tight cover and CF. Asking $200.

Flash 111, sharp VG+, minor spine wear, couple minor dogears. Nice gloss, tight cover and CF. Second appearance Kid Flash. $100 takes it.

 

[catrick339]

Super Magician Comics V2 #12. Very sharp copy, if it wasn't for the dust shadows I'd call it a VF. As it is, I'm itching to see someone try the Wonder Bread trick on this issue to see if it'll lift any of the shadows. But not me,

 

Asking $75

 

 

 

 

[catrick339]

After looking at the Super Magician scans, the dust shadows on the FC really don't show up like the one on the BC. There is a light narrow dust shadow along the upper edge, and a lighter, but much wider shadow along the RH edge. You can catch a whiff of both in the FC scan, but it's slightly more obvious when you have the book in hand.

The Thing issue 16, drop dead gorgeous copy, $160 firm.

 

[catrick339]

Action Comics 27, and I don't care what Overstreet says, that sure looks like Lois Lane on the cover,

 

This copy is complete, but has tape on FC, spine, and along interior spine to first and last page. Light stain from lion's haunch to bottom of cover, should be visible in scan. A couple amateur color touches ( on TOP of the tape, LOL ) at upper spine FC, CF loose at lower staple. All that being said, it's an affordable, complete, very readable copy of an early Action. Grab it and run at $280. SOLD!

 

 

[catrick339]

Adventure 142, Shining Knight and Johnny Quick origins retold. Small piece out edge RH FC, tear lower LH FC. Your basic G reader. $40 takes it SOLD!

OOooh... NICE train cover!

 

What year was that published?

[catrick339]

Suspense 4, early Atlas issue. Clean and square, but with a touch of wrinkle upper edge. (Cue the pressing thread!) Upper staple isn't QUITE pulled, but durned near, light rubbing, perhaps once a touch of dampness? along lower BC. Upper staple rusty, whiff of transfer to paper. $35 takes it SOLD!

Howdy Mac Man, that little beauty is from July, 1949!

[Scrooge]

Suspense 4, early Atlas issue. Clean and square, but with a touch of wrinkle upper edge. (Cue the pressing thread!) Upper staple isn't QUITE pulled, but durned near, light rubbing, perhaps once a touch of dampness? along lower BC. Upper staple rusty, whiff of transfer to paper. $35 takes it

 

 

 

 

Thanks Rick!

[catrick339]

My pleasure, Scrooge. Now go fly the flag on one of the pricey books,

[catrick339]

Howdy Doody 1, 1949, early photo cover, first TV comic, listed as scarce in O'street. Nice copy, but has 1" split lower spine. Asking $150 firm

 

[catrick339]

Speaking of Lois Lane and cover appearances:

 

Action 29, first Lois Lane cover according to O'Street. This is a reading copy , front cover and interior are complete, but some mallethead has taped a nonmatching back to the book. Tape, tear last page gets into the art a bit, and like I said, wrong BC. Take it away for $225

 

[catrick339]

Strange Tales 51, Solid reading copy with Sub-type crease, dogears, general wear. Tight cover and CF. Bill Everett cover, and a REALLY early picture frame cover. Bronze picture frame collectors take note! $25 takes it

R. Crumb's The Yum Yum Book

 

1975 Hardcover by the great R. Crumb, this copy is in jacket, with bumped lower corners and a bit of rubbing at bottom of spine. Otherwise a very pretty copy of a comparitively scarce book. Sorry, you must be over 18 and send me an age statement to purchase this book. Yours for $90

Hre's a rerun from my last thread.

 

The Arkham Sampler Winter 1949 Issue.

 

 

All science fiction issue, featuring many greats from the Golden Age of Science Fiction including Bradbury, Van Vogt, Sturgeon, Bloch, Leiber, and on and on.

 

This one is in sad shape, the front cover is detached and has chipping, the back cover is gone completely, light staining along outer edge, and the staples are rusty.

 

That being said, when have you ever seen another one?

 

$30 firm for this issue.
