Tales of the Unexpected Collecting Thread!

[Hepcat]

Not a TOTU, but a first appearance of Space Ranger. Sorry for the camera flash. My scanner wont take a full slab.

 

 

Nice book! It actually looks better than a 7.5. Is there a chip or scribble on the back or something?

Those are some clean ing copies. Very nice. One of these days I'm really going to make an effort to complete my run. I really like those Space Ranger stories. Great late night reading.

The TOTU thread doesn't seem complete without #43, first Space Ranger on the cover.

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite TOTU's #54. Dinosaurs, GGA, aliens, and the Space Ranger.

A combination with which you can't go wrong I'll say.

Hepcat, Those are some excellent covers.

 

Another of my favorite TOTU covers,

Oh wow! I like that beast. Sadly that's one of the issues I stil don't have.

 

[frozentundraguy]

I snagged this book back in the late 90's, if I recall correctly.

 

#17 Sept 57 - This book really has a "fifties" looking cover. The ladies hair style nails down the time period.

On this cover Cyrll is caught by the beast, where he normally transforms into the beast.

 

#48 April 1960

 

[Hepcat]

Oh wow! That's a really tough issue to find let alone in that type of condition!

Thanks, I picked that one up in the early 2000's. I also have these two issues in common with ones you posted not too long ago. These are not quite in the same ballpark grade-wise as #48, but I enjoy them. For some reason I have always thought of #66 as an Oscar like cover.
