I have a few more pre-heros coming, but in the meantime here's some Marvel BA books.

 

Chamber of Darkness #1, 6.0, $13. Water stain lower left back cover, affects a few interior pages. Marvel's attempt to compete with DC's horror line. Great John Buscema story and other good stuff by Tom Sutton and Don Heck.

Chamber of Darkness #7, 8.5, $30. First Bernie Wrighston story at Marvel, a Tom Sutton short, a Ditko reprint and a Kirby/Ditko reprint. I think this was one of Greggy's castoffs.

Last one for now. Sounds like Jet Jaguar is saying goodbye, so Godzilla vs. Megalon is about over, so Pontoon the Mighty Hunter needs to head to the supermarket.

 

Chamber of Darkness #8, 6.0, $8. 3/8" stain inner URFC and splash page. Two Ditko and one Heck reprint, and a great collaboration between Bill Everett and Dan Adkins.

Strange Tales #99, 1.0, $12. Spine split on bottom to staple then 1.5” tear into back cover, 1” spine split and tear upper back cover, top staple detached and bottom barely on. Look okay in a bag, though! :insane:

Recap of what's left:

 

Page 1:

Weird Mysteries #8, 2.0, coffee/coke stain on about 3-4 interior pages, spine split up top down to the "Id," spine weak between staples, split 1" on bottom, (but still readable), $60. There's a Wolverton panel on the cover and Overstreet says it was used in an anti-comics Reader's Digest Article.

Weird Mysteries #6, 2.0, 2" tear on back cover, tear on bottom front cover, hole in top hat, tear by right hand, $85.

Web of Mystery #18, 2.0, tanning halo, 1" spine split up top, split from bottom staple to bottom edge, $24. Great Lou Cameron lead off story, in addition to the other great stories.

Voodoo #3, waffling 3.0, $70. WTF is going on with that cover?

 

Page 2:

Strange Tales #85, 3.0/3.5, $26. Minor centerfold staple rust. Gargantus comes back to mess stuff up. Bloody wanker.
