Popular Post Bugfarm Posted May 12 Popular Post Share Posted May 12 Anyone here collect Gredown pubs? It’s an Aussie comic mag reprint publisher with a wild history. They put out literally hundreds of different titles over a period around 8 years from the mid ‘70’s to mid ‘80’s. They’re famous for their outrageous cover art (often swiped from Euro mags). Some titles were released regionally in Australia and are quite rare. Here are a few examples. ThothAmon, Artifiction, Rip and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 These are pretty cool. The only one I’ve seen before is the Weird Tales of the Macabre. What were the contents, reprints also or original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were the contents, reprints also or original? Almost always reprints. Seems like they relied heavily on Eerie pubs (which were also primarily reprints)……so in most cases they were reprints of reprints.

Popular Post Jayman Posted May 12 Popular Post Share Posted May 12 Speaking of reprint content, I’ve been slowly picking up issues of this series; Dossier Negro. Not sure of the legal process for reprints but these issues contain a mix of Warren, DC & Charlton.

Popular Post ADAMANTIUM Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 I know this is general magazines so not "pulps nor comics", so posting here. Quoting myself from winning credits for "national independent bookstore day! Who knew there was such a thing? On 4/28/2024 at 6:17 AM, ADAMANTIUM said: Speaking of which, yesterday was evidently "Independent Bookstore Day?" My used bookstore nearby said as much, and they hosted a "Golden Ticket" hunt within their store. 6 total envelopes to find, only one per person, afaik. With the "golden" one being a prize of like 45 audio books. It sounded intriguing, and I'm saving for Comic-Con, so it gave me something to do I searched the whole store so I had thought at least for an hour, and one guy found one, which was $5 credit. No one seemed to be looking other than me and maybe kids with parents shopping. Not a lot of distraction, but I didn't want to make people move from shopping, so I had to retrace. Found one persons phone that they had just left on a shelf, went and turned that in to lost and found. Anyway,........ I did after that find an envelope of $10 credit yadda yadda The credit paper certificate was being torn up even in the glove box! Got tired of waiting for worthy comics, so spelunked the store, so free to me! Emergency $7 used of $10 credit won for "national independent bookstore" day. I suppose these are collectable?

ADAMANTIUM Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 guess not, but I tried, and of course they were tucked away and hard to look through. I had seen someone buy a Pam Anderson one from the 80's or I wouldn't have even known they were there. idk. Maybe that person had picked the "best of them", it was a last resort.

Not a lot of Playboys are collectable, I think I paid more than $10 each for all of three issues putting together my Little Annie Fanny collection.

One reading club is enough for the moment, thank you! Although I would actually do it as a Marvel Horror reading club if we did... Dracula Lives, Haunt of Horror, Legion of Monsters, Masters of Terror, Monsters Unleashed, Tales of the Zombie, Tomb of Dracula (magazine version), Vampire Tales, and any appropriate issues of Marvel Preview/ Bizarre Adventures. I've got complete runs of all of those, as well. My big gap on the 70's Marvel Magazines is Crazy and Savage Sword of Conan, and I've got lots of those as well.

Popular Post batmiesta Posted May 18 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 18 Haunt of Horror is a very underrated title IMHO, # 1 doesn't fetch silly money even in 9.8 even though the cover is fantastic. greggy, ThothAmon, comicjack and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
