Liberty Comics #10

[ascher45]

Hey everyone I found this book at the Albany Comic Con and I don't know much about it. Can anyone fill me in as to details about this publication, value, rarity, etc.

The cover is cool, but not as common as #11, but much more common than #12, which is the really sought after issue and worth a lot more than either 11 or 10. Someone has a copy of #12 on ebay right now for $1,000. Another person has a #10 for $199. I think both might be over-priced (but the prices make me feel good since I have both), but you get the idea...it's a fairly scarce book. Here are my copies of #12 and #10:

Always loved Liberty 12. What other GA cover has Death wearing a clown's toboggan?

[rjpb]

Were the Liberty covers taken from splash pages, like some ( all?) of the Roly Poly covers?

 

Issue #12 in particular has that look.

 

Both appear to be MLJ reprint books put out by Green Publishing.

Number 10 has three truly classic HANGMAN splash pages.

Does the centerfold look like this?

Marty seems to have missed the question BB...so, allow me to answer from my copy...No, the centerfold is 4 pages (2 sheets) back in the story towards the beginning. At least, in my 48 pg. book (52 with covers)...

Thanks Brian. I always wondered what the difference was between Liberty 10 and Hangman 8. I have two copies of the centerfold and one copy of Hangman 8. I think there may also be a trimmed or glue page to make Hangman a 60 page book but not sure.

This is the centerfold in my LIBERTY #10.

So, you're saying that Liberty 10 reprints Hangman 8 (minus 8 pages)? Well, there's 1 book off my want list now...who needs to read the same stories twice?...not me...and I just saved a ton of money by not needing a Hangman 8 anymore... and i didn't even have to switch to GEICO...

 

BTW, that pirate story is kinda lame...it never explains how they survived for 450 years...

Actually Overstreet says in the Liberty 10 description that it reprints 3 Hangman stories, incl Hangman 8.

[Tri-Color Brian]

Oh, so? Well, I guess that's 3 issues of Hangman I don't need...
