Bring Out... Golden Age GIANTS

[Subliminal]

Here's a St. John horror giant that might not be on horror collectors' radar due to the generic title...

 

That's a big beautiful book I'll probably never see in my hands in my lifetime but it is on my wantlist nevertheless.

What are the contents?

 

Is it all horror?

Forgot this one (though strictly atom age). Great book:

Two giants with Stoner covers I think.

I think this splash is from America's Greatest 2.

Don't forget the other mouse.

Found it.

 

GCE 12 sold for $200 Feb 3rd 2011

 

Wow, great price. I wonder if it will be for real.

Found it.

I'm going to be sick. That's a $1000.00 book.

 

Jim, you should have grabbed it.

 

It was gone about an hour after the early morning search email reached me and several before I usually rise. I was hoping someone earlybird here got it.

 

Maybe even more than $1,000, if it's for real, that person got an unbelievable deal.

Nothing like Giants and nothing like Golden Age Giants. I was buying these up like hot cakes as a kid in the seventies, probably paying between $5-$10 for most of the early Dell Disney material at comic shows.

 

Occassionally, a Classics Giant would show up at the flea market for a quarter and sixties Dell Giants could always be had for a nickel or dime at the flea market. Like all good comics these were hard read books that had served their owners well and puzzles were typically filled in and spines rolled, hey I loved them anyway!

 

Then, one fateful day at a New York convention I came across what was described as a file copy of the until then unobtainable PPTT! I have yet to find a better copy and other than that small tear at top this book is unscathed with nary a puzzle blemished or a page out of place. I am probably the only one to have read it. I pulled it out thinking I would submit it to CGC last month paged through it and decided not to as the artwork inside is fantastic and to be appreciated not encased.

 

My next Giant grail is a Fawcett or the BAACB from DC.

Here is my contribution. A 300 Page Canadian Giant comic book that has several complete Canadian Whites inside like Triumph Comics with Nelvana Etc.

Weighing in at 300 pages and only 39 cents we have a winner!

Another book nowhere to be found on GCD or the internet.

That's amazing

Sweet!

[JvR11]

I believe this one is kinda rare. I've only ever seen the one that I own.

 

[JvR11]

This one is pretty beat up but I only paid around $30 or so for it...

More giants...

I love those Joyce books. I assumed she was from PA but don't know for sure. She also had Suspense 3 and 4 in her collection.

[JvR11]

Had no idea there was a "Joyce" collection. Interesting, I'll have to keep my eyes open for her stuff. She had quite an eclectic taste, it appears.
