FATMAN THE HUMAN FLYING SAUCER

[DR.X]

Came across these two books while gearing up for my next low dollar sales thread. The Overstreet lists the #3 as " Scarce". Anyone know anything on these?

 

 

[Annihilus]

Only that I've seen them for sale here from time to time and that they look funny

 

Other than that.....I got nuttin'.

 

Oh I just noticed that C.C. Beck and Otto Binder worked on them. Sweet!

[lizards2]

It's a neat title. I've got all three in VFNM to NM. #3 isn't really that hard to find. It seems like I trip over a couple NMish copies on eBay every year.

I like these sort of books - the Capt Marvel from Myron Fass,the unbelievable Super Green Beret, the multitude of failed Dell Super Hero books (Frankenstein, Dracula - I kid you not).

 

Tragic to report, an awful lot of Charlton's efforts fall into this area.

 

Still need a Fatman #1

An old thread, but relevant to at least me today... got my Fatman #3 from Comic Connect finally- they don't ship too fast do they?

[Bill1]

Supposed to be from the Moondogs Dr Fate collection.

Lets hope there's no T.V. Show in the works for this book Its a fun 3 part mini series, for some reason Overstreet has the #3 as a rare book to find ?! It might be printed fewer then the rest but still can be found easily in high grade.

I looked thru ebay and these fatman books are often high grade-maybe because no one was actually reading them?

[Bill1]

We must all have a different opinion of high-grade, or we allow for the age of the book to allow grading on a curve? High grade to me is 9.6 and above. I think #3 suffered from a lower print run, and low distribution, to earn it's Overstreet 'rare', less than 100 copies, status. If any 9.8's of #1 or #2 become available, I am a buyer!

I guess I meant I didn't see any beat up copies on ebay only like 8.0 and above

Dang kav you crack me up sometimes.

 

I guess swinging for the fence everytime pays off!

[kav]

What's Fatman's origin anyway-he was eating a poor boy when a flying sosser zapped it or something?

[50 CENT LONG BOX]

I was abducted by Fatman the Human Flying Saucer. They did things to me.

 

 

 

Made me eat Krispy Kremes by the dozen

 

The cafeteria on board was remarkably like #1 China Buffet

 

Took all my clothes and substituted them with expandable elastic waistband pants and big dawg shirts
