catrick339 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Here's something a bit out of the ordinary. The Monster Times #1, January 1972 I LOVED this newspaper as a teenager and young adult, bought it whenever I could find it. Tabloid sized, and chock full of interesting stuff, it read like a cross between The Buyers Guide To Comic Fandom, RBCC, and Famous Monsters of Filmland. This one is in pretty decent shape, but has a 1" tear RH edge, see scan. It's aged remarkably well, with little or no yellowing. Asking $25 SOLD!

catrick339 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Congo Bill 6 This MAY have been the first appearance of Gorilla City in DC comics, but they've done so durn many ape stories I could never pin it down, Listed as scarce, this one is strictly read. General wear, corner off upper LH FC, smaller matching corner off upper RH BC, and a 3" horizontal tear RH FC from above the head of the ape with the camera to the back of Congo Bill's neck. Split lower spine. Tight spine and CF, cream - offwhite pages. O'street G is $100, take this one for $60 Edited July 1, 2017 by catrick339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catrick339 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Selling the next two as a pair. Noman 1, Noman 2, from Tower Comics. More of the great 1960's Tower publications, this is the entire title. Both copies are tight, glossy, flat, square, with offwhite pages and minimal wear, but issue 1 DOES have an issue on the BC. Along the RH edge of the cover there are several small scrapes, along with a half inch wide vertical soiling mark. If I had to guess I'd say that it got hit by a roller somewhere during the printing/binding process, and it left a gray mark the length of the cover. You can read print through it, and it hasn't soaked through, so I'm guessing that it's a long light ink mark. If you buy these you've collected the series! I want $30 for the pair, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catrick339 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) It's Christmas in July! Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Giant Annual, 1962-1963. This is the tough one I'm told, and it's only the second one I've ever gotten my hands on. Listed in Overstreet as RARE, and I might just believe them. A buddy of mine looked for 25+ years before he found a decent copy. Flat and square, with some general wear, small dogear upper RH FC, and a big one that runs from the lower LH FC all the way up to the center RH. Barely breaks color at all, but you should see it in my oversize scan. Bit of rubbing BC, and a couple puzzles inside of been neatly penciled. Cream to offwhite pages, tight spine. I want $75 for this one. SOLD! Edited July 2, 2017 by catrick339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
