lotemo Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 This seems to be a pretty good price for this. Showgirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yes it is! I've noticed a significant price jump in a lot of the better and scarcer teen/humor type books on ebay over the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 You know, the problem with this message board is it makes you do things you didn't want to do... like spend even more money on comics. I had a ton of Archies and found myself getting interested in other publishers, particularly Marvel. First it was "oh, that Millie the Model #1 looks nice" then it was "hey, #2 has the Blonde Phantom, gotta get that." After that, I started checking out other Marvel humor from the 1940s. I love Archie comics and this was a natural progression. So then I thought I would just limit myself to the Millie the Model title in the 1940s. Then I saw the other great Millie, Hedy, Tessie, etc covers from this period. And so, the buying continues: This is a new one, I wish all my comics were as stunningly perfect looking as this one. It makes you wonder how a stray book from 1949 can manage to survive in such perfect condition. A stylish looking cover here: Now some DeCarlo period Millies although I don't know for sure if the cover on 89 is his work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you mean I started by deciding to just get the Marvel keys: Patsy Walker #1, Millie #1, etc. But now it's the first 10 issues of Patsy Walker and all the Millies, plus all of DeCarlo's other work for Marvel, and then there's the Fox teen humor titles, etc, etc. That Comedy #5 is beautiful And I would bet money that the Millie 89 is DeCarlo's work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 This seems to be a pretty good price for this. Showgirls Wow! I recall about a decade ago a dealer at the L.A. shrine con had a small stack of these ( at least half a dozen copies) - all in around FN or so for $5 @ - and it took him a few shows to sell them all. I should have bought one They were all unread, but had minor edge wear from storage - some sort of mini-warehouse find I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Here are some more of the Marvel teen books including some swimsuit covers: I like the pastel look of this cover. I always liked how Marvel featured the characters doing things together on the covers even though their paths never crossed in the actual stories. This was posted before. Take a look at Tessie on this cover and you'll see she looks a lot like... Betty on this cover: More swimsuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Millie #29 looks exactly like Archie and betty. Here are some nice Dan DeCarlo books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Dude Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 This book is the continuation of All Winners Nice books. I used to own the Mile High copy of that All Teen #20. Here is the extent of my teen humor books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

143ksk Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) This was one of my Secret Santa gifts from Silver. I love the cover gag Edited January 2, 2006 by 143ksk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 To 143ksk, which of the DC or other non-Marvel books do you enjoy? I like Millie, Patsy, Nellie, and Hedy from Marvel up to about 1950, before they started making Nellie and Hedy (and Millie to some degree) brainless along the lines of My Friend Irma or MLJ's Suzie. I haven't run across much teen humor from the other publishers that has caught my attention yet so I am curious about what others make for good reading.

143ksk Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 I think your list is a good one. It's not GA, but I also like Tippy Teen. I haven't read a whole lot of non-Archie non-Marvel GA teen books. I'll tell you what I think of Here's Howie once I've read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Santa was good to me this year. He brought me a lot of cool Marvel books. Marvel may have been the second rate teen books after Archie but they cranked out some cool covers. And they are good reads as well. 1st up. Patsy Walker. She was not their regular cheesecake character but they tried it on occasion, resulting in some nice covers: Frankie issues also featured some dynamic artwork: Junior Miss is not one of my favorites but I love this cover. The altitude of their seats in the stadium is emphasized nicely. Finally, an issue of Georgie: Marvel definitely knew how to grab your attention with great cover art.

Scrooge Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I agree with you Lotemo. Some Patsy covers are really worth it. This is my favorite of the entire group of Patsy titles - Patsy and Hedy # 30 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 And here's IMO a great Frankie and Lana cover - # 12 (Canadian Edition) - And from the inside, there is this editorial about the quality of Marvel Comics Group comics - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
