CATRICK'S CORNUCOPIA IS CLOSED

Good Evening! Welcome  to   Too Much Fun  Tuesday!

Tonight  is  more mixed  grille,  high  grade  and vintage  giveaways,  a couple  Weird Tales,  and  a 1935  Minnie Mouse  pop-up  book. 
Buckle  your  seatbelts,  we're going to  tear it up.   

Oh,  did  I  mention  the  PCH   slab?   There's     PCH  slab. 

But let's start  with  something  completely  different.

Graphic  Story  Magazine  13

 Features  a  dozen pages  by underground  artist  George  Metzger,  a long  interview with  John Severin,  and a comic  adaptation of  an Adam  Link  story
with  art  by  D. Bruce Berry,  who  brings to mind  both Steve  Ditko  and  Pete Constanza

Minimal  general  wear  on  a sharp glossy copy.  From  1971,   this is  the first  publication  I  ever got my  hands on  that  treated  comics  and 
cartooning   as  an artform.

Asking $15

Asking  $30

Undated,  but it  feels  like  1955 or so to me.    Published  by  Harvey Comics.
Flat  and  tight,  nice  shape  except  for  a  chip  out  upper  edge BC and a tiny  split  upper  spine

Asking  $30

Fatman Th Human  Flying Saucer 3

Only  three  issues  published,  and this one  is  supposedly  scarcer  than  the  other  two,  but it's the second  higher grade copy 
I've  had  in  the last couple years.  Regardless,  it's  a nice  Sixties  squarebound  comic,   and  none of them  are common in grade.

Flat,  tight,  clean,  square,   glossy,    bone white pages. Tiny tear lower  edge BC,   minimal  general  wear.

Yours for $25

Graphic Story Magazine 15

Published in 1973,  this is the earliest  interview with Gahan  Wilson   I  remember  seeing. LONG  interview with  science fiction  author
Harry Harrison,  who  started  his  career  in  comics, both  as  a  writer  and  as an artist.  Reproduces  quite  a bit of  his  early art,  including  
a full  color  BC  with Wally Wood 

Flat,  clean,  tight,  glossy, white pages,  whiff of general wear and rubbing.

Asking $15

Wisco giveaway,  Captain Marvel and Billy's Big Game

Small  hole  page  1 smack dab in Billy's face, and you could  convince me it was  from production   or  later mayhem.
Either  way  it's  small  and neat.  Otherwise flat and  clean  neat enough,  with  a bit of  general  wear.  Offwhite  pages.

Asking $150
