Here is A Medal For Bowzer, also from Bo Hogg's list, a pro-animal experimentation comic book from Will Eisner. One copy with black and red printing. Another copy (not mine) with yellow and blue ink also...

 

Also another Eisner rarity. But since it's from around 1950, it would fall within the Golden Age...

p><p> Not highly sought after but one of the rarest comics is the Treasure Chest Teachers Edition.  These were given only to teachers, who were mostly nuns.  This was a promo issue to introduce comics to the class room.  Not many of these survived.  Overstreet doesn

 

Why is the nun tossing away that joint?

 

That cover is a treasure trove if weirdness.

 

For example...why is there a fat, shoeless hillbilly ghost standing at the doorway?

 

Why are the nun's legs cut off about midway up her calves? Is she a ghost, too, drifting up from below the floor? Why is she looking up at the back of the room?

 

Why are the students sitting in theatre style seats? Why is that poor blonde girl literally smashed, Southwest Airlines style, into the row in front of her?

I am obsessed with rare comics and since the rarest of the rare are mostly golden age, that is what I mostly collect. I have a great collection of rare stuff. I have been collecting rarities for 20 years. But I want to know what are the rarest non golden age. This is something that I am not as familiar with. Here is my top ten list I have compiled.

 

8. Archie's madhouse 22 15 cent variant Never seen one

 

Here you go :)

Chaos Comics produced several "Octagon Editions" in the 1990s/early2000s. The print run was 8 copies and each cover was an original piece of art. The covers were black with the sketches done in silver ink. I have all 8 of an unreleased Octagon edition that was scheduled to be released, but the company went bankrupt first.

 

Not mine, but here is an eBay link. You don't see them up for sale often.

1964 Youth In The Ghetto. Comic book style "Harlem Youth Report" #5

 

Awesome! I love the homage to the people finger covers found that DC was known for. With a bit of pre-code hypo cover imagery to top it off.

 

If I still actively collected oddball comics, this would go on the want list for sure - though part of the reason I stopped was the insane difficulty of finding much of the stuff. lol

Try finding rare books with no GPA, no Ebay, no records or even galleries on these books...

 

I gladly offer $1000+ cash per book as I have no intention to ever sell

Anyone up for an easy $5000 cash payout drop me a line :grin: :grin:

United Kingdom Superman 76
