Hi, all.  Thanks for stopping by!  Just one book today (plus a link to a nice selection of seldom seen yet inexpensive 1952-53 Pre-Code War).  Payment may be by PayPal, Cashier’s Check, USPS Money Order, or business/personal check (but please allow up to ten days for your check to clear).  Payment must be received within seven calendar days of being invoiced (unless other arrangements have been agreed to via PM).  All books will be shipped within three business days of your payment (fully insured with delivery or signature confirmation).  The exact cost of shipping will be added to your order ($5 for boxed and bullet-proof USPS First Class Mail to a domestic address).  Returns will be cheerfully accepted (provided that you alert me to the return via PM within one week of receipt), but the cost of shipping and return shipping will be on you.  International buyers are welcomed.  Miscreants, wankers, and folks currently on probation are not.

Post the :takeit: within the selling thread to claim your prize.  Happy hunting!


Wild #2 (Atlas; Mar 1954).  Grade = 4.0 VG cr-ow.  Price = $80.
This issue features five humorous parodies/satires by some of the best artists in Atlas' Atomic Age bullpen: "Deep In The Heart Of Taxes" (Joe Maneely, 5 pages); "Gruesome Gregory" (Russ Heath, 5 pages); "Menace From Mars" (Howie Post, 4 pages); "Satan is Waitin'" (Bill Everett, 4 pages); and "A Witch In Time" (Al Hartley, 5 pages).  There are no missing coupons/panels/pages or tape repairs.  Notable features and flaws include:

  • At first glance, this book appears 6.0 FN; however, there are abrasive impressions at two areas of the front cover (in the witch's hair and just above the broom head).  The impressions above the broom head do not penetrate the cover.  A couple of the impressions in the witch's hair have penetrated the cover and caused a tiny (less than ⅛") tear in the first 4~6 interior leaves.  There's no loss of paper, and the interior blemishes are nearly invisible (although the impressions can be felt with the tip of your finger).
  • Light-to-moderate cover wear; reading stress along spine; light edge wear; color-breaking and non color-breaking creases and stress lines; light soiling/staining; other lesser blemishes/defects.
  • Supple and completely intact spine (no splits).
  • Clean staples (no rust); cover securely attached at both staples.
  • Nearly white inside covers; supple cream to off-white pages; 32 interior pages (8 interior wraps); centerfold securely attached at both staples.

And please feel free to stop by my booth at this weekend's Virtual Comic Con (VCC), where I'm offering a nice selection of seldom seen yet inexpensive 1952-53 Pre-Code War.  Many thanks!  :foryou:

There is no reason this hasn't sold already so if it isn't gone in 24 hrs I will start hoarding the title. Just sayin...
