Saving the best for last??

Today is the first day I don't even have a preliminary set of books that I'm considering. 

I will post at least one book.  Whether I do more than that is anybody's guess.

This thread has been a joy to follow. The write-ups are so educational to someone who's still a newb to so much of comic history.

Thanks again for the kind words.  I'm glad that you have enjoyed the write-ups as the comics medium is still far less understood and appreciated than it should be and many of these creators deserve greater honor for helping it to develop.

I love the blurbs and I know exactly who should finish that Pedigree book...

I volunteered 2 years ago...

Marvel Tales 102 Palo Alto:  Basic Wolverton is the main attraction in this issue and hopefully the scan will show why.  Basil wrote, drew and lettered his work and did it like no one before him.  I appreciate people who carve their own path, oblivious to what is going on around them and unaware of the depth of their talent.  To learn more about him, I highly recommend the Sadowski biography, part one of which is out Basil Bio Book

Census: 1 in 9.2, 2 in 9.0 and 2 in 8.5.   We covered the Palo Alto pedigree in an earlier post and they are very nice copies in terms of page quality and cover colors.  This copy isn't quite as high grade as some others, but presents well despite some minor defects like bug nibbles of the upper right edge of the interior pages.  This is an old label CGC 8.5 ow for $1500.

I do not have the Certificate for this copy.
