First I'd heard of this New Brunswick collection.... looks like my kind of books. I'd like to hear any details. Atlas books are so neat..... we have Stan Lee really cutting his teeth on what is basically the missing link between Timely and Marvel. I'll always love the SA stuff that I grew up with..... but I'm really digging this Atlas material, too..... a lot of that "bug" going around lol GOD BLESS...

The distributor code is usually more in the center of the book but that grease pencil S code is typical of a River City.

 

This one, however, did not survive my OCD slab cracking impulse..... I'm wondering if this may be a River City ? GOD BLESS....

One of my biggest regrets was passing on a nice fine plus copy of this for a couple hundred a few years ago. Gene had about 4 short boxes full of nicer Atlas books and I was interested in Atlas but not like I am now. It's a super book, cover to cover. GOD BLESS...

I'm off today and decided to spend a little time checking out the Heritage Auction Archives for (Atlas, ) ........ it's been a sobering morning. People talk about wanting a time machine to go back to the Golden Age...... heck, I'd be happy just to go back 10 years..... GOD BLESS....

Especially the post-code, seeing those great Everett cover books in 8.5 and up go for $100 or less.

Underrated then and now IMO!

In 2006 the Crippen copy of Mystic 18 went for $ 200 in CGC 8.0 :boo: GOD BLESS....

P.S. I'm with you 2 about the post codes ..... and I don't mind the stories either.... even though they're not really horror by that point. Kind of like Twilight Zone episodes.....but I always liked that show.

I definitely hear and feel that regret, but then again, what can you do? :)

 

Some Atlas books have definitely taken off for the stratosphere, others remain reasonable. I haven't been able to find a Venus #19 yet, still regret the one I missed in 2001, but will continue to keep an eye out. Eventually I'll get one!

 

Congrats to comixnoir on that great JIM #6 -- great stuff. I've been able to snag a #7, a #8, but a #6 does still elude me. :)
