Robot Man Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) SOLD! Crime Suspenstories #16 April-May 1953 EC Pubs. Seminal EC crime title. Other issues like #22 and #20 get all the love but I think is is even more terrifying. Just look at the glazed look in the killer's eyes. One of my favorite ECs. A friend of mine loves this one so much he had it tatooed on his leg! Great art and stories including a nice Al Williamson tale. The colors just pop on this copy. Flat, clean, bright and complete. Covers have some light general wear. Wrinkles, a couple light creases and a small 1/2" tear on right edge in middle. There is a light stain in upper right corner and on inside of front cover. Back cover has some light discoloration and a few small bends. Book and centerfold bound well to covers. Interior paper is yellowed but supple with no tears, creases or anything missing. Pretty solid and nice display copy. This issue seems to be heating up a little... $75.00 Edited March 5, 2017 by Robot Man sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Movie Comics #4 1947 Friction House Pubs. Awsome small run issue. This issue features one of Matt Baker's best stories. "Mitzi of the Movies in Hollywood". Whole story is full of sexy poses. Also included is a great "Slave Girl" story that also looks like Baker. Best issue in the run. A nice incomplete reader. The centerfold is sadly missing this does not include the stories above. They are complete as well, all but the middle one. Book has seen some water damage. Spine is rolled with slightly rusty staples that migrate to centerfold. Small tears, folds, creases and other minor wear. Interior paper is yellowed but supple. Has a few folds and small creases. A rough but very readable filler copy 'till you can find a nicer one. $35.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 That's it for today Gang. I've got another big pile for tomorrow. It looks a rain possibility tomorrow. If so, I will sadly miss the flea market and get started earlier. If not, I will finish these up when I get home. I'm doing the "no rain" dance...

Robot Man Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Back again, this time for a while. Been up since 3:00 AM "junking" and have a few things to take care of... Another interesting (I hope) load of funny books with a couple other things thrown in (because I like 'em). A lot of books that my friends & fellow boardies have asked about. PM's...I don't usually look at them while I am listing. Just trying to get these up for everybody in a timely fashion. Gotta question? Just post it and I will do my best to answer. I almost never take a lower offer on a book that I just posted. Why would I if no one else has even seen it? If you want to send me a PM with a lower offer, I'm open but only after I'm done posting. First one coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
