Robot Man Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 But here was the score of the day! Some guy had tons of books for $5. each. I looked but gave up 'cause most of them I had zero interest in. As I stood up the spine of this caught my eye and I dived on it. I have most all the censorship books but this one has always eluded me. Scarce because it was published in England. Has a bunch of comic illustrations just like SOTI. Well worth the drive and getting up at 3:30 AM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Kid Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The early bird gets the worm, and you found a bunch of them over the weekend. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Paper Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Those early Famous Fantastics are great! I had high grade copies of the Paul cover and the yellow Finlay but sold them years ago. Nice score on the PoP, especially if it's the British (true) first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 It is an English edition but 2nd print. I don't really care because I just wanted a research copy. The guy with the pulps said he had a bunch more that aren't in as nice condition. I told him to bring them to this weeks show and I will take a look. I generally like better condition pulps and mostly the horror, crime and girly ones but I am not opposed to Sci Fi ones if they have nice covers.

Robot Man Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 A lot of people don't realize that Alfred E Neuman was around long before MAD Magazine adopted him and gave him a name. Here are some real obscure examples of pre-MAD Alfred pinback buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can't be very many of these still around since it was for a high school graduating class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitterOldMan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 After NYCC, I visited Roger's Time Machine and found two of these and thought of you, Robot Man, and had to purchase the nicer one. From the sixties, but after I saw Robot Man's MAD bust, I had to get one. Roger is a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Can't be very many of these still around since it was for a high school graduating class. Erasmus Hall High Scool is on the corner of Church Street and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. It stands across from one of the oldest Dutch Reformed Congregations in Brooklyn. When the Dutch settled the area in the 1700's it was rural farmland. Today you exit Church Street station into a wild melting pot of a neighborhood of mostly African persuasion. Worth a visit for the adventurous. Say hello to my ancestors in the church graveyard; they bear silent witness to centuries of change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sixties, but after I saw Robot Man's MAD bust, I had to get one. Roger is a great guy. Nice score! Those came in two sizes. I sent away for the small one when I was a kid. As I got older, I found all the rest of the ones in my MAD picture on this first page. They issued a small and a large one and I got one from the publisher of the Sweeden MAD that is in between size. I also have several other early pre-MAD ones over the years. The ones in my picture are all I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it from a lady out here at The Rose Bowl flea market years ago. How it ended up out here, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
