As mentioned, some were copied to comic book format. But, imagine if some of these others were drawn as comic books. They would be considered classics and highly desirable. Another category I can play in even if I don't have many of the comics: Surfing Alien and frozentundraguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have some excellent reading in them, including some of the earliest Conan reprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These have such great covers and are a real affordable way to read stories by so many of the masters. I used to see them all over the place for a few bucks apiece. Rarely see them at all anymore. I always thought they were undervalued and maybe I was right. Sarg, Surfing Alien and OtherEric 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I went online to check out about the Kevin Hancer's PB price guide and found out the dude passed away in 2000. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to see a ton of them on the bay as well but not as many these days, ask has gone up a lot and not many fine copies show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted November 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 As is with the case these days, I probably over paid for this rat chewed copy. But down to 2 more to finish off another PCH run... Spyder!, Jayman, Mr. Lady Luck and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 A couple very early Avons hit my mailbox today. A wonderful title with art by the illustration artist Harrison Cady. Such fun stuff.
