Robot Man Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well, Robotman scored yesterday morning at the flea market. Got these 4 Manhunts + about 6 other not so exciting GA comics for a 10 spot each! I didn't have any of these in my collection and have been looking for a while. I guess it pays getting up at 4:00 AM, putting on a jacket and driving up there! These are real underrated. In addition to great covers, they Have L.B. Cole and Fred Guardenieer stories with good content. #2 Great GGA Electric Chair cover! #4 Been looking for this "surealistic" cover #6 Best cover in the run. This was actually an upgrade for me. #9 Never seen this one before. Very creepy cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Score #2 different guy. Couple of cool pulps for a 5 spot apiece. He had more later issues but they just didn't excite me so I left them for the next schmoo (I ain't greedy) V1#1 1939 Cool nude girl in a tube cover. Has Paul illustrations inside + an ad for the premier issue of MLJ's Blue Ribbon Comics. V1#2 1940 Love the aliens on this cover. Has interior illustrations by Paul and Biro. Also has MLJ comic ads.

Robot Man Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Picked this up from Carbo at Terry's Yorba Linda show last week. Finally got it finished and wouldn't you know, it is missing a piece... I bought it with that thought in mind and it was the last one I needed to have the set of these puzzles so I am still very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The covers you posted, plus #1, #14, and #11(which I'm still hunting for) are the other knock out covers. And I agree whole heartedly, they are very underrated!

Robot Man Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Question on the Manhunts... They appear to be crime books but they have a very horror feel. Should I file them in my crime box or my horror box? I have #14 with the wild pygmy, hypo, bondage cover in my horror box but I'd like to keep them all together. What do you think?

Duffman_Comics Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Start a new box - "Crime/Horror" then you'll have the fun of filling it! All my stuff is strict alpha order, so no problems of this nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I concur with Duffman. The contents and covers of Manhunt cross the two genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondog Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I just checked my notes and the image of the AT/AP Police Cases 1 and it's not the same comic. There was no # 2 in the WC collection. The Diary Secrets also is not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Today, a request from Mitch and Pat. Yes, I have vintage paperbacks as well. Like pulps, not as many as I used to. I sold both off a while ago and just kept the ones I liked best. So, here you go. Sci-Fi books. My favorite is Ship of Istar. This is the first uncensored version. Next up are some girl art books. Note the Helen of Troy original "uncensored" version. Lastly are some "dope" books. "I was a drug addict" is a true classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Freaks of time department. I kinda love books like this. They really show "character" people either really loved these or hated them but they are really unique. They have a special place in my collection. First up is Submariner #32. Not only is it in pretty low grade but somebody used it for target practice! There are 3 45 caliber bullet holes shot clean through. I got it years ago for $25. at the San Diego con. Everybody laughed at me but I love it anyway. Too bad it's a "key"... Next up is one weird Atlas "annual" some kid tore the covers off about 30 Atlas, EC and DC war comics and made his own custom bound volume. Took me a few days to read it. I got it from Terry Stroud cheap at a con. Everybody wanted to buy it from me but I kept it and gave it a good home. Check out the size of this monster!

Marty Mann Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Here's a few more that were packed away with my comics. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Today I've got some thing pretty cool to show. These are two "bound volumes" from the Terry Toons animation studios. Note the check out stamps on inside front cover. These were all hand made and were to be used for reference in doing the cartoons. They were bound with two holes punched and un-trimmed. Looks like they were rarely used and other than the two holes, beautiful condition. I thought about breaking them up but think historically, they should stay the way they are. First one is Terry Toons #45-60. This volume has the first Heckle and Jeckle as well as several great "infinity" covers. Bright, sharp copies!

Robot Man Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Next is a Heckle and Jeckle bound volume from the same source. It contains Blue Ribbon (#1) through issue #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Rat Finks, Weird Ohs and Nutty Mads oh my! Any other of you geezers (except Hep Cat) play with these as a kid. My favorite is the Mr Gasser slot car. Oh, so hard to find... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
