Good luck and hope you get back in soon!

 

Pre-hero books are definitely popular now. I don't really collect them or follow them but the few i have seem to be getting REALLY good prices!

 

There seems to be a great selection though in most of the auctions so when you do get back in, you can be like a kid in a candy store! :banana:

 

Good luck and get your back in soon! lol

 

Thanks for the well wishes! But "Pre-hero books are definitely popular now" is NOT something that tickles me! I want folks to sneer at them and call them worthless! I well remember in the late 80's/early 90's, at a relatively short-lived comic book store in Watertown (MA) Square on Main Street seeing the Kirby Monster books on the wall at $10-$15 and scooping them up, much to the ausement of the young clerk.

 

One of the things I do fondly remember were the back stories, after the Kirby Monster stories, often by Ditko, that were pure sci-fi and dealt with aliens, the Red Menace etc. Some really intereesting stuff there that literally represented the concept of Atom Age more than the pre-code horror stuff did..

 

There are a lot of really fun books in this area. (thumbs u

 

Kirby and Ditko in there prime.What could be better.

Throw in the try outs for the superheroes books you really cant go wrong!
