Ok, what's the lowdown on Nedors?

[dem1138]

Always been fascinated by this segment of the Golden Age but know very little about them. What are the issues to look out for? Are some Schomburg covers more key than others?

[nearmint]

Schomburg war covers are more key than non-war.

Schomburg war covers that feature Hitler/Mussolini/Hirohito are more key than those that don't.

Books off the top of my head that are really desirable...

 

America's Best #7

Black Terror #3

Exciting #9 (first Black Terror, desirable but they come around fairly often)

All Exciting Black Terror covers(#26 - #31 are especially tough and desirable)

Fighting Yank #6

Real Life #3

Startling #10(first Fighting Yank, and very tough to find)

Thrilling #41, 44

Wonder #1

 

Someone else can elaborate about the Sci-Fi airbrush stuff. Certainly Startling #49 is the biggy from that era.

They used to be the poor man's Timelys. Not anymore

Most of the Xela airbrush covers sell at a premium to the non-war covers but less than the Schomburg war covers of similar grade.

 

Startling 49 is a trancendant cover that is appealing to almost all comic collectors and prices reflect that. There is a 9.0 copy for sale in the selling forum right now.

 

Major airbrush titles are Exciting, Startling, Thrilling and Wonder. There are others out there but they don't seem to be as common or pursued.

 

Too many collectors of Nedor books to make it worth your while to start now unless you want to add another level to the insanity. Better off waiting a couple of years till the passion dies down.

Nedors suck on the inside

[Scrooge]

Timelies suck on the inside.

[dem1138]

But about Wings, etc.?

[aardvark88]

Nedors were hard to sell in the 1970s compared to Timely's or GA DC. Has much changed now? Tertiary.

That's Fiction House, different publisher (thumbs u

I can't recall any Nedor with a decent interior (might be an exception for early Frazetta stories) but some Timelys, with Everett and S&K, is eminently non-sucky.

Nitpicker. Nedors with either Meskin or Moreira on Black Terror can be enjoyable.

Haha. You mean you don't love the Fighting Yank, who wears a tri-tip hat, and calls upon the ghost of an American founding father whenever he gets into trouble? Come on, this comic is a Revolutionary War re-enactor's dream come true.

 

And don't forget the groovy huntsman's breeches!

I think Fujitani did some work for them as well, didn't he?

Not according to the Who's Who and I don't recall anything he would have done for them. However, you can add Ralph Mayo and Art Saaf on Judy of the Jungle as acceptable Nedor features.

Yeah, but you like that DC stuff so there's no accounting for taste.
