Hey Kids, Sharkey is back with another batch of awesome pre-hero goodness. This time I've got a bunch of great and obscure stuff including some nice World of Fantasy and a Tales to Astonish 1. Get your fill of pre-hero giant monster goodness!

 

 

- Post Mr. in the thread. PMs are welcome, but the will trump. In the event of a tie, you'll have to wrestle to the death for it.

 

- Paypal payment is preferred within 48-72 hours unless you contact me ahead of time and tell me you have to donate a kidney and it'll take a week. Money orders or checks are ok, but if I don't know you, your check has to clear before I'll send the books.

 

- Shipping is $6.00 via priority mail in the US. Yes, I will combine lots and give you a break on shipping if you buy more than one book. If you are outside the US, feel free to bid but you have to be willing to pay the actual shipping cost.

 

- No probies, hall of shamers, deadbeats, or other reprehensible types.

 

- PM me with any questions.

 

- Happy Collecting!
