So here’s a book that has been strangely elusive for me in grade. You can buy copies of it all day long in lower grades but try going above fine and it turns into vapor. Maybe there’s a million high grade raws out there but only 5 graded copies when I looked and only 2 above this copy. It’s a key Millie book where the format changed from the previous hip soap opera romance title to the new look Millie which was in the Archie mold to compete with their highly successful line. You’d get a Chili title and another Millie title 2 years later both in the Archie type form as Marvel tried competing in the popular kids comics line of comics of the day.

Anyway this copy was cheaper than I expected at auction and has white pages so thrilled to get a decent looking grade on a toughie.

 

I'm getting Margot Robbie vibes.   #notafanboy

awesome! I bought this book in the same grade a long time ago. It amazes me that we "don't necessarily hear" about Parkers parents more often, although I haven't seen all the films. Still I think it is "cool" vertigo like cover with green and yellow that portrays the sickening feeling that even a "Super-Hero" can feel.

Nicely done!

The Atom #7 CGC 7.0 from Shortboxed. Just for the record, I would like everyone to notice that this picture is pretty straight. As you know, getting straight pictures is not one of my strong suits. (:

Couple of new editions in (2 copies of same book). Cartoonist Kayfabe thought this might be the greatest Charlton story. It’s pretty good for sure. I read it first as a reprint in 1970’s. Interesting story, use of panel structures and the mixing of color and black & white interiors. Even if you aren’t remotely interested in Charlton I’d recommend this book on those merits. Fred Hembeck did a knock off at one point…

If you zoom in on the face, you can see a striking resemblance to their editor.
