Astounding Science Fiction, October 1940

 

Features stories by Van Vogt, Sturgeon, De Camp, and the original appearance of Farewell to the Master by Harry Bates, the story that the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" was based on.

 

A few small tears, small stain, and a pencil mark FC, 1/4" piece out of lower spine strip, 1" tear upper BC. Still displays very nicely, sharp interior.

 

I want $35 for this one.

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.

 

 

 

oldie but goodie

[capt_comics]

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.

 

 

 

Yes, this is the first Lois Lane cover........if you'll check the interior story you'll see

 

Overstreet has been listing this wrong for years

Tuppeny, that's the only Arkham Sampler I've ever owned, and only the third I've ever seen. Fun item for sure.

[catrick339]

Well awright, Captain Comics! Seems like I learn something every day here on the boards.

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

nice pick up

 

I would have hit that

[catrick339]

Well, let's just say I had a strong suspicion, LOL

[Mac Man]

Man... if I wasn't already gearing up for a big purchase, I'd at least be sending an offer for a few of these. Really some nice offerings for us low grade collectors here!

[catrick339]

Hey Ho, Mac Man.

 

Let's just say that I'm kind of surprised that the two Actions are still here. The two Flash books I kind of expected some movement on too. Ahh well, mebbe everybody's Visa and Discover bills showed up in today's mail

I agree those Actions are killing me, wish I could buy them.

[catrick339]

Heh heh, sorry Gents.

 

Y'know, I think this is the first time in two years that I've seen early affordable Actions hang out on the Boards for better than 24 hours.

 

Ahh well, at the end of the evening they go back into The Vault.
