Cool GA Crime

[Larryw7]

I haven't read it yet, Darren, so I'm not sure what the cover represents from inside the book. I plan to read this(along with a few other new acquisitions) sometime this weekend.

Here are a couple of books I got from Metropolis yesterday.

Sorry about the big ugly scans. I set my scanner to resize the images, and they're still way too big!

Sweet copy of Crime 7. Johnny Craig cover =

I've already posted #24 - but here are a few of my other favorite CDNP covers. #31 has to be the most oddball of the bunch.

The cover to CDNP #33 is a favorite of many - and along with 22 & 24, one of the most desired. A classic for sure.

This femme is definetly fatale. The cover to CDNP #36 is worthy of Crimes by Women. You got to love the guy in the foreground.

What I like about this cover is the way the dead guys eyes have rolled up into his head, and his mouth is stuffed with cards. Also I've always enjoyed playing poker - so this cover has extra appeal for me. I've never been able to figure out where the dame fits into scene.

Finally - CDNP #42 - a fantastic and underrated electric chair cover.

Those are some sweet books, Richard.

 

Here are my rather humble contributions to this thread. They are the only two pre-silver age books that I think I own in my collection (though I've gotten Liz a few pre-silver scuba covers for hers). I picked these up over the holidays at a little hole in the wall store. He had almost a full run of Crime Does Not Pay, starting with issue 22. They were low grade and some of the later books had some color touch (not the ones I bought though), but his prices were beyond cheap. I think I am going to have to go back and pick up the scarce ones next time I'm in the area. It was definitely a case of me not knowing what the hell I was looking at or I'd have picked up the 22-24, which were in about G+ to VG- condition if I recall correctly.

 

Hey Pov, can you post a scan of your The Perfect Crime #18?

Hey Pov, can you post a scan of your The Perfect Crime #18?

 

I got my Perfect Crime 18 because OldGuy posted his a long time ago here and I saw it, wanted it, and finally got it on ebay. Infact, when I created this thread, I had that book in mind but didnlt want to post my copy - was hoping OldGuy would post HIS copy (which inspired me). And he did - but you giots ta go near da start of dis thread, woise guy! h

Great CDNPs! Very happy to see these here.

 

Also, fantasyfootballbono, if you make that trip back to that "hole-in-the-wall", let me know! I've got a couple of big chunks to fill in my CDNP run and I'm happy with LG copies.

Great pickups I never noticed that bullet thru the head image on the cover of #50 before - I'll have to look for a copy. Glad to see you're picking up GA/pre-code stuff, but be forewarned, once you start, it'll be hard to stop.

Send me your want list and roughly how much you're willing to pay as a percentage of guide for copies in the FR/GD to VG- range (which I think was the total range of conditions over the run of CDNPs he had). These guys sell at strictly graded Guide, minus about 25-40%. For example, I paid $20 for the #50 and $30 for the #100.

 

I'll be back there this summer and will grab whatever you need.

[Larryw7]

Wow, that CDNP #100 has a super cool cover!

[Larryw7]

Finally - CDNP #42 - a fantastic and underrated electric chair cover.

 

 

Really great books!
