Ask Gator 13 13

[G.A.tor]

Hey Gator,you seem to be the man to ask I saw that you were interested in my classic Cheslers I posted a week back .I'm interested in learning how many mid to upper grades of the Punch 12 are around I see the milehigh copy and the crowley copy but other than lower grades around which has seem to dry up in the last few years.I would honor your input to this subject.Thanks Comicjack

your copy of Punch 12 is one of the nicest I have seen "in person"... I am aware of the MH copy and I think the crowley is a 8.0, right , but I believe yours is the second nicest copy cgc has slabbed, and my guess is there are only a handful of "fine" or better copies out there...I have searched for years for a nice copy, and until you posted yours, I had only seen one other nicer other than 2 peds mentioned (but it has some black color touch)

 

now, I have seen a fair number of low to mid grade (heck, one boardie alone owns like, what, 4 copies)...I had a couple of low grades (I only have one 3.0 ish copy now I would LOVE to upgrade), and I believe parker sold the 5.0? brittle paged copy back to mcmiles (that one looks much higher, but PQ brings it down)...

 

very tough book, and even tougher in nice condition... yours is definitely top 5 "known" copies imo

cj, that's a nice sentiment to call g.a.tor first on the cheslers, but the champion 4 heads-up to me if you get out of it will put you in good stead with me.

I'm not in Denmark, but something doesn't smell quite right.

 

Someday, m'thinks Inspector Merryweather may have to investigate that title, ...and Pep 34.

Nah - Zips are among the most overrated covers if you ask me! Anyone who spends oodles on those is in danger of becoming a laughing stock - in Denmark!

Morbid, I know, and not really that funny - sorry, couldnt resist. It does, however lead me to wonder...

 

I mean, we all joke about it, but has anyone ever actually been buried with their collection?

Hey Gator,

 

Was H.G. Peters so obsessed about Wonder Woman Bondage because of an overly dominant mother? I'm thinking Bates here. Are his absolutely insane scripts and often disturbing scripts a factor in the low interest in sensation,WW (or perhaps what will trigger a larger interest in them). I mean he wrote some seriously bizarre stuff in Sensation.
