It's staggering how many of these old reprints are out there, undocumented. Oh for a Tardis......

In this picture from a UK auction house are two books with the title "Authentic Police Cases" - @gadzukes book and another 6d priced book....

   

...which is attributed to the the UK publisher 'Locker' who I've never heard of.

So it may be a Locker, Gad. Let us know when it arrives, won't you

I've heard of Locker.  I believe they also had the Plant Comics rights.

I've had some good finds lately.

I got these in the mail today.  The 1st is "A Gazeta 511" from May 1939.  It's the FIRST LOIS LANE COVER EVER.  It came out a full year before Action Comics 29.  #511 has the start of the Superman story from Action Comics 5.

I think these are absolute treasures.

Some of these are as old as US Superman #1

Shocked. I was impressed with your previous batch that had the super hero strips removed, but with Superman on it, it is 10x more impressive. I never saw any of these for sale and very, very few stuff of similar level of rarity on Brazilian Market Places or Auction Websites.

Cool.  Hearing you say that makes me even more happy I picked them up.  I honestly don't know how rare they are.  They just kind of fell into my lap.

When I saw Lois on the one cover, and saw how early the date was..... I got really excited about the prospect that it might be the 1st Lois cover.

It sure seems like everything "Brazilian" and "old" is doing really well right now.

Very nice condition!  So who's the publisher?  Is it Locker?

Is the back cover story or advertisement?  Why not just scan the whole book for me?

From the UK "just pulled from a barn" collection.

[gadzukes]

More barn books

The Tom Mix 1 is oversized.

[gadzukes]

These were mixed in with the barn books too.  From 1938.  They kind of remind me of early Action & Adventure covers.

They are not comics, but they're kind of cool.  Any value?

I think those are awesome!  GREAT cover work.

We have Boy's Life in the USA.  More of a Boy Scout magazine.  These don't look like Boy Scout mags.

I didn't know you spoke Dutch, Yorick? Impressive.
