Sqeggs Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 He was second in most of the boxes. For once, I had a jump on him. I only bought ones I needed or needed an upgrade. They were pretty pricey and since they were a new collection, Terry wasn't giving a lot of latitude on them. So I doubt he really bought that much. Terry had about 6 mag boxes full at the start and still had 4-1/2 boxes left at the end of the show. Terry also told me he hadn't priced or brought them all so I gave him my want list. Since he is local, I might be able to go over and get some more. Ah, ok. I know he bought a bunch of them, but I guess there are a lot of them left.

Mr. Lady Luck Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Fans of these books should contact Terry O'Neil. He just bought a huge collection of these. Complete or near complete runs of the Marvel ones as well as many other smaller publishers. You just never see these in complete runs. Many I have never seen before. I will post what I got when I get a chance to go through 'em. Did he have any issues of Tessie, Millie, Hedy, Gay, Joker or Comedy?

Robot Man Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Yep most if not all of them. Nice. clean mid grades for the most part. The best covers probably went at the show but there were a LOT left. I think I got at least one or two from almost all those titles as well as many more. I completed my Ginger run and a couple of others.Best selection of these that I have ever seen in one place at one time.

I just got off the phone with Terry's Comics and I bought quite a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Wow, that was quick! They were nice books. I guess he owes me a commisson. (I'd just take it in books anyway...) Make sure you tell him who told you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lady Luck Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Would make a new "gawk" sub-genre, a good thread concept. Are there any other GA covers with Tex Avery style eyes popping out of the head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I had two of these in my last sales thread and only wanted to sell one....this was the copy left and it'll be a keeper, unless I can upgrade. If I remember, I think the art inside is Winiarski ?...... I hadn't heard a lot about him, but I was impressed.... if I'm going to keep a book, it needs to be more than just a cover.... I'm hoping to find more of his work for comparison.... I'm not sure yet who did the cover, been too busy to research it lately.

I have books I buy for the cover. I have books I buy for the interior. Then once in a while I get a perfect storm and get both. I just love comic books!

Strange printing error. Clearly the front cover image wasn't wrapped around to the back cover. Not sure I've seen an error quite like that one before. Still a nice book, though.

jimjum12 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Here's an example of Goodman's musical titles/shell game approach to avoiding additional licensing fees and what not..... apparently the first issue of Hedy De Vine (# 22) is a continuation of the Young Allies title. This makes it tricky to find some titles in the Gerber's, although Hedy, for some reason, is in the "H"'s rather than the "A"'s. With many Atlas titles, you really need the research provided in OPG to find books in the PhotoJournal, as Ernie tried to keep it all linear, rather than alphabetical. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) ...... here's the credits page for Hedy 22..... there's no info at www.atlastales.com yet...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking to upgrade mine a long long time. Printing errors typical on few of these I've seen - here is my copy.
