Mr. District Attorney 12, 1949.

 

Your basic, solid attractive G reader, small, essentially useless, piece of tape inside lower FC, general wear.

 

Ten bucks.

Next up: an obscure Centaur book from 1941.

 

World Famous Heroes Magazine 2, December 1941

 

Flat and square enough, with good gloss, but the cover is browning up pretty good, and there are a couple pretty heavy dust shadows FC, and a corner off lower RH BC, and two interior pages with corners off, affects the upper corner of the art, and takes out chunks of three word balloons. Sigh...

 

 

Tight spine and cf, supple cream-offwhite pages.

 

Who wants decent reader for $40? SOLD!

Heroic Comics 19, 1943.

 

Gorgeous copy, flat, clean, square, glossy, altogether beautiful...except for the extreme upper edge of the front cover, which, for some reason, has gone a bit brittle on the top 1/4", with a few chips already gone, and another long skinny piece hanging on, but obviously willing to let go with any misuse, and a couple small tears at the staple.

 

Very pretty otherwise. Send it to Ewert to have that top edge trimmed, lol LOL

 

$35 takes it

Okay, last items for this thread: Three early Rocket's Blast Comicollectors.

 

These are great fun, you can dig through the old ads and break your heart looking at what Gold and Silver sold for before Overstreet ever came out.

 

Issues 63, 66, and 78. all circa 1969-1972, all beater readers, suffering from general wear, ink, pulled staples, etc etc.

 

$10 each, or take all three for $25

Yessir Mike, I've lived through it, and it's heading your way! Bad storm, lotsa lightning, funnel clouds spotted in our area.

 

GOOD LUCK, AND KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN, DETROIT!
