I was surprised to find this on page 2! :o

 

Time to get this thread back on track by posting my latest pre-hero monster book.

This was a recent find. I knew that there was a Jack Kirby appearance but not that it was so neatly tied in with the pre-hero monster books. I can't think of any other SA Marvel story that involved the creative team.

There's an error in the last caption bottom right...should say "one of my...monsters." Sentence isn't complete. :odoh!

It's really amazing...after almost 25+ years of collecting pre-hero monster books, hunting down the most obscure prototypes, etc. I had never knew that this Millie story existed.

 

Just goes to show ya that there are still surprises and buried treasures out there!

I am going to be incredibly vague here, but I swear there's another one.

 

I think it's a Patsy Walker where she is looking at her little brother's comic books and there's some convoluted plot that ties in the plot of the books with some boyfriend machinations. I am going to have look for this.

Thanks, I've always loved the pre hero marvels.

 

I had a very nice TTA 27 that I sold/traded for cash and GGA Phantom Lady books last year. It was worth over $5,000. The TTA 29 which I consider to be a much more interesting Kirby cover is only a fraction of that value. (and I still have a signed lower grade TTA 27), so I'm pleased.

 

Here are the TOS I recently added. I'll have to decide if I want to sell my raw copies down the road and I'll need to reslab the 8 at some point.

 

SUPER-SUH-WEEET books Collin! Keep it rollin' :headbang:

Amazing copy.. where on Earth did you find that recently?

 

And what's the TOS copy you need for your run?

Here are my latest pickups. The TOS was a Christmas present from my brother, and the two TTAs were self-submissions (with a press from Joeypost). I'm really happy with the #12, but was bummed with the PLOD on the #24 (that book actually got through the pre-screen as Universal, and only post-grading did it switch to purple). I may look at having the resto removed on the #24 since it is pro work.
