This is one of the few raw Metro books that I have actually kept (I've given up now). At the same time that I bought this I also got another early Strange Tales graded F/VF. It looked great until I noticed that the centrefold was dettached. They allowed me to return the book with no questions asked, reposted it on their site as a VG (basically admitting they made a mistake) and still made me pay the return postage.

Now that's more like it Monkeyman!!! Others were nice too especially that ST!!!

 

Let's see some more Jungle Stuff or maybe if you have it,Yellow Claw!!!

This one is probably a 7.0 (Heritage VF), but it is a Mile High with Romita art.

 

Nice book......when you get tired of it or shift focus I'll give it a good home..!!

Here is a question for you Atlas fans. This copy of Jann has a paper stapled to the first page which says Eastern Color on it.

 

 

I have never heard of Eastern Color file copies. If anyone has any info I'd be interested. The paper has obviously been there for a while.

This is my favorite Jann cover. Bill Everett

 

I don't own a copy of this book but would love to get one. Sorry for the bad scan.

I am so tempted to one day drop some coin on a pile of raw pre code pedigree books. There are some awesome cover pieces that are cheaper than the usualy superhero stuff out there. River City, Northford, Bethlehem peds have some pretty deep runs of this stuff, just love it.

AtlasFan; I knew you wouldn't let me down!!!

 

But are you hitting the bottle early tonight??? That scan is a little crooked!!!

[Blind Owl]

Is it just me, or are these Yellow Claw books that hard to find!!!

 

In high grade I NEVER see them!!! Does anybody else have any???

I've been thinking about picking one up. They are pretty expensive and Heritage always seems to bring out the aggressive bidders.

CGC Census

 

#1 - 7 copies graded - highest is 7.0

#2 - 3 copies graded - highest 9.0 then 6.5

#3 - 4 copies graded - highest 9.0

#4 - 4 copies graded - highest 8.5

 

I have never seen a really high grade copy. Heritage had a nice set of mid grades last year, but they were too rich for my blood.

 

It really isn't that uncommon for these Atlas books to be very hard to find in grade. Look at the Mystery Tales 15 I posted - 6 graded copies, highest 9.0 and then an 8.0 and a 7.0. Mine would probably be an 8.5. I think that we just notice more for Yellow Claw because there are only four of them and they are desirable because of the cool covers (the stories aren't so great).

 

The Strange Tales #9 only has two graded copies - 8.5 and 5.0. There are, however, some high grade, ungraded pedigrees floating around so these numbers can be a little deceiving.

Its not the bottle, its the crack!

 

Here are a few straighter images...

 

These books have some of the best 50's Kirby work. Very far out stuff, I would say that Jack was about 10 years ahead of his time with some of the graphic layouts he did in YC.
