I’m just wondering if we had a news stand at the airport that put that date stamp on those books. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting...hadn't thought about an airport code. I know the Recil Macon pedigree had the "Mid C" distributor code handwritten on the covers of some books and those were from central Texas (and from a much earlier period). NOT saying that this has anything to do with the actual pedigree, just found the coding very similar. Couple of leads to pursue once I activate my Guinness Powers later tonight -bc Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First “key”, first higher dollar book, etc. I really dig this issue and never thought it got it's due, but now it's catching up a little bit. I remember when Heritage had the original art to the entire story!!! The splash page was just so cool to see!!! bc and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR.X Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Anyone check out the Tales to Astonish pre-hero run My Comic Shop has listed. Some of the books are from the Nicholas Cage collection. Lots of upper grade issues, and prices?
