And...that's it for this thread. Motivated seller here (getting killed again on my kid's school tuition this year!), so please feel free to send me any/all offers via PM.

 

I'll keep the thread open for another day or two: I may add a few more books tomorrow, or offer some discounts, or maybe both!

 

Thanks for looking!

Justice League of America #138: NM+ (9.6). Classic Adams cover, and the book which prompted me, at age 10, to write my first ever letter to a comic book publisher (I suggested that this Neal Adams guy should draw more covers! :insane: ). Bought this one from Dale Roberts, too -- it's a very, very sharp copy. 2011 OSP (9.2 price) = $30.

 

$50

Can you tell me what is going on with the bottom right corner of the front cover. I can't make it out. Thanks.

Nothing really that I can see in hand. The corner is sharp with no paper missing.

 

It might be that my scanner is blurring the very light yellow of the inks there into the white of the background, making it indistinct. I can try to take a close-up picture for you if you like...

Green Lantern #86: VF/NM. Classic Adams drug story. Looks better than the assigned grade in the Mylar, but there's some light ncb wear to the fc not visible in the scan. Still a super nice copy. 2011 OSP = $154.

 

$125

Superman #204: F/VF. Not an easy book to find in nice shape, at least in my experience. Deep cover colors on this one, with little or no significant wear to detract from the impact of the cover image, which is one of Adams' best from his late '60s period. 2011 OSP ~ $30.

 

$18

Action Comics #393: NM-. The classic BA Superman art team of Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson actually began their long, exceptionally good run on this title (and the Superman character in general) right here, pre-dating their first "new direction" issue of Superman (#233) by several months. I bought this copy several years ago from Bob Storms as a NM-, which is what it still is today. Very nice book. 2011 OSPG = $40.

 

$28

Action Comics #399: VF/NM. Adams cover. Very sharp copy -- glossy, deep cover colors, nice whites. Great Adams cover, and a super cool time-travel story by Swan and Anderson, too. 2011 OSP = $30.

 

$20

:news:TUESDAY EVENING UPDATE:

 

Take 20% OFF the listed prices for the remaining books below.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Action Comics #402: VF/NM. Penciled arrival date on the front cover (hard to see in the scan -- it's to the left of the "My Powers are Gone!" word balloon). Bought several years ago from Bob Storms as a VF/NM, which is what it still is today. Another cool Adams cover from a great era for the Man of Steel. 2011 OSP = $30.

 

$20

Batman #252: VF. Bought this one from Dale Roberts at the Baltimore Con 4-5 years ago. Don't know if it's a tough one to find in grade or not, but this was definitely the nicest copy I could find in the room on that day. 2011 OSP = $35.

 

$25

Jonah Hex #1: VF-. Awesome interior artwork by Garcia-Lopez. 2011 OSP ~ $59.

 

$30

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Kamandi #1: VF+. Classic first issue of King Kirby's longest-running and most successful Bronze Age title. Wish DC would make a movie out of this one! 2011 OSP ~ $69.

 

$30

Superman #209: VF-. A slightly dingy back cover is about the worst of it (looks much worse in the scan than in-hand). Very solid copy overall, and another sentimental favorite of mine from the unjustly forgotten Ross Andru era on this title. The creepy, big-headed, long-fingered, red-skinned "Super-Clark" alien at the end of the story seriously freaked me out as a kid. It's just plain weird! 2011 OSP ~ $30.

 

$20

Superman #238: VF/VF+. Very solid copy for the grade, and a cool "Sand Superman" cover, too. I think the grade on this one is fairly conservative -- some dinginess along the spine on the back cover (highly amplified by the scan) knocks it down for me. From the front it looks VF/NM or maybe a little better. 2011 OSP ~ $45.

 

$25

 

SOLD @ 20% OFF!!
