Please tell us how you acquired these and their history. Thanks! I'm Director of Comics for a West Coast auctioneer. Pre-Code is my specialty! I love putting together catalogues that combine editorial and sales content, for kind of a "sales-fanzine" effect. I picked up this crazy collection for my next sale. Lots more fun stuff is arriving weekly, and just last night I picked up half a dozen mags from a local consignor. The mags I got last night include 2nd copies of WEIRD MYSTERIES 5 and WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE 3, plus a rare copy of WORLDS OF FEAR 10. Here are some of the mags I picked up last night, along with a few sample pages from my previous catalogues. I've been a major pre-Code buff ever since my dad introduced me to the stuff when I was a kid, via Marvel's 1970s pre-Code reprint rags (you know the ones... Chamber of Chills, Dead of Night, Crypt of Shadows, Weird Wonder Tales, etc.). thehumantorch and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate a little, as in a website, and when any or all of these beauties will be offered up for auction? Although I personally have damn near all of them, always looking to upgrade.

Most of these are lower grades, though (VG or lower), so there might not be many upgrades for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly they were the reason I got back into comics after I found a couple at an estate sale back in about 2005. I went on eBay a few times and bought huge lots of older ones, then I started picking up the old movie poster and illustration art catalogs, even picked up a few pop/modern art catalogs because they were so well written with amazing photography Ivan Ivanstein 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can post the information about upcoming auctions/sales in the Comics Market Forum. That’s where auction houses like Heritage post information about upcoming auctions. Dealers also post there for stuff they sell on their websites. Looking forward to seeing where and when these books are going up.
