World of Fantasy 13

 

A step up from the last few books, this one has a small tear and chip out BC, and a chip dangling lower center FC, the rest of it has a bit of general wear and a piece of tape along the inside of the upper FC. Nice looking copy at an affordable price. O'street G is $19, but I think this is a little better than that,

 

I'm asking $14 SOLD!

Taking a short break, it's time to pour myself a large scotch and relax for a few!

[catrick339]

(Catrick takes a long refreshing pull on his scotch-and-soda)

 

Oh, and Charlton, a nice pile of Ditko Captain Atoms in the pile, too.

 

Requests?

[greggy]

How about some unusual junk that even I would buy?

[catrick339]

(Relaxed and refreshed from a couple stiff scotches and a nice na in his favorite recliner, Catrick ponders for a bit, then snaps his fingers and fires up the scanner)

 

Well now, this MIGHT be Greggyworthy...

 

Amazing World of DC Comics SPECIAL EDITION NO.1

 

Printed fo the Suiper DC Con of 1976, to this may only have been circulated in New York for the convention. Id never seen a copy until just a few years ago when a NY dealer set up in Detroit and circulated a few copies. Did anyone here on the Boards get a copy elsewhere? Subscription, or over the counter anywhere else but NY?

 

This copy is sharp, some light rubbing along the spine FC, a bit of rubbing BC at the top in a Superman logo. Interior is perfect.

 

Let's take a shot in the dark, and sell at $10

 

[greggy]

Got it so you fail.

[greggy]

....and here is the other set of Tracy Straight Shooters marbles.

 

Same logo both sides of header, once again, a light water stain around the perimiter, much like the last bag.

 

 

$20 takes it

 

just to be sure.

[catrick339]

Future Science Fiction Stories Jan/ 1952

 

Article by L Sprague de Camp, stories by Emil Petaja and Arthur C Clarke

 

Nice enough copy, with average pulp wear, but has a 1 x 2 piece out of left center BC. Spine is tight.

 

$12 takes it SOLD!

[Karl M]

Suggestions on where to go next?

 

Possibilities include DC Hero, DC War, Marvel Hero, Harvey Funny Stuff, and General Oddball Catchall.

 

 

I'm looking for low grade Star Spangled War - specifically #13,14,16,17,20,21,22,25,27,32,37,41,45,47,65,74,75,93...

 

Also dozens of early low grade DC romance (Falling In Love, Girls' Love and Girls' Romance and Secret Hearts)...

[catrick339]

Okay!

 

With no one posting any preferences for genres of comics, it's up to me, so I'm going to go with DC war comics, it's time for some Big Five War Books Action!

 

And it's 1 AM in Michigan, let's let the west coast have first shot for a change, I'm going to list until 2 AM local time.

 

First up, All American Men of War 18, last precode issue

 

Alas, the cover is loose, both staples popped through, and there is a 2" split lower spine. The rest of it is decent, albeit lower grade.

 

O'street G is $33, yours for $12 SOLD!

 

 

[catrick339]

Well, except for Karl, of course, Sorry, crossing posts while I uploaded some scans.

 

Misha, nothing with Finlay covers, although the Future pulp has a spot illo or two.

[catrick339]

All American Men of War 72

 

Sharp copy, I'd call it a F but there are five small water spots, two along the upper edge FC, three along outer edge RH FC, the largest may be visible in the scan, just above the announcement box.

 

O'street VG is $22, yours for $10 SOLD!
