The Warlord 1

 

Tough black cover, and this is a pretty copy with juuuuust enough flaws to keep it out of the upper tier.

 

I spot 5 color breaks along the spine, and a teensy dogear lower RH FC that breaks color. Slight miscut, there's a sliver of white along upper edge of FC, RH side. That's it.

 

Flat, clean, square, glossy, tight spine and CF, white pages.

 

Take it for $25

Archie's Christmas Stocking 3

 

Nicer than #1, but there's a quarter inch piece out of lower spine, and a half inch tear from the top of the missing piece into the BC. Small stain lower LH FC by Archie's foot, see scan. There's one page detached lower part of the leaf, still tight upper edge. Nice squarebound, flat and tight, glossy with white pages.

 

Asking $50, an offer only Ebenezer Scrooge could refuse!

 

 

 

[catrick339]

So! Squarebounds ain't this crowd's cup of tea, how about Ditko?

Ricky 5

 

Sadly, not autobiographical, I've never dated a redhead in my life,

 

Kinda rugged, with spotting/foxing along RH FC, general wear, and there's a vertical tear in the CF from the lower staple up for a couple inches. Otherwise sound, white pages.

 

Grab a nice reader for $10 SOLD!

 

 

 

[catrick339]

I DO dig the red and white argyle socks, though.

Scooby Doo Mystery Comics 23

 

So there's Scooby and The Gang, fighting Napoleon of all people. Durned interfering kids...

 

Nice midgrade, bit of wear, mostly along spine, on a solid flat copy. Decent amount of gloss, tight, white pages.

 

EDIT: that misshapen business on the horse's butt must be a stacking wrinkle, I see no sign of staining or water inside or out.

 

$10 takes it.

All right Gang, I think that's it for the evening. Believe I'll mix a tall one and relax with a book for the rest of the evening.

 

About halfway through Wizard, by John Varley. Just read Titan, and I have Demon on tap for the next one. Varley kicks arse.

 

Good evening to you all, see you tomorrow with more stuff and nonsense!
