Wow, I knew I was a pack rat but now maybe this makes me a rat pack

I don't recall seeing either of these

I picked this up a few years back when I was completing the run...1,2,3

 

I know 1 & 2 are easy to locate due to warehouse finds but I can't remember ever seeing an issue of #3 even on Ebay. This one was sold by a big name dealer and he had it listed as a 9.2, once I got it in hand and saw the spine split at the bottom I knew it had no chance at that grade but I still wanted an example so I kept it. It doesn't hurt that it's a crippen "D" copy (thumbs u

 

CGC graded it an 8.0...I don't have a scan of the book in the holder but there are no other graded copies in the census

 

 

 

I've been looking for a filler copy of that one for almost a decade. I doubted it existed until that one showed up in the initial Heritage Crippen auctions. Any chance you took some interior pictures of it? or noted the contents?

No I am not that smart nor did I think the book was rare when I initially purchased it off Ebay...I felt like I overpaid at the time especially since the guide value on this book are cheap but as is the case with many funny books....you could never get them for anywhere close to guide (thumbs u I have been looking for another copy for at least 2 years and I haven't seen one and considering how many books pop up on Ebay I am very surprised. I guess I should just be happy with this copy I have 2 copies of #2 and 1 copy of #1 to go along with it...

Great WW2 book of political cartoons. The title character follows Tojo around with the Hara-Kiri sword, always asking "Now?"

 

 

British "comic books" from WW1 -- undated, but pre-1917, I believe.

 

 

 

Reuben Awards program from 1965 with fold-out cover.

That is a great photo. Nothing shows comics are cool better than Humphrey Bogart!

Overstreet lists a 1904 version of this book as rare but my copy is an unknown 1902 version.

That's Biro on the left and an unknown radio announcer on the right. I got them from his estate a few years back. I think I ID'd the announcer at one point, but don't remember it now

[generic user]

these are from the original auction listing

These australian reprints are somewhat obscure, featuring a time travelling reincarnated hero. There are 24 in all...

Don't have a photo, but, according to Wiki, WOR's breakfast guy in 1949 (they look like breakfast things on the table in the "better" pic) was John B. Gambling , part of a radio dynasty of announcers.

 

Ring any bells?

[plady69]

Don't own either of these but I know someone does.

Found the first one in 1978 via a xerox from a long time Phantom Lady fan from Erie, PA (Bill Popatak?) and the other on the boards.

Canadian reprints; got to love them!
