Hi Folks, it’s been a while!

It took me a while to recover from my legendary "End Of The Planet (Comics) Sale" back in '17, but I’m back, sort of. Selling a small stack of books to help fund new pressing equipment for my business, Flatland Pressing (ask Rick if you need a reference). Anyway, I’m a little rusty at these sales threads, but let’s see if I can’t summon some of my old Mojo and run a good one! This sale will have a little bit of everything, with a few surprises for those who stick around to the end.

 

Why: (I'm selling them)
Gotta buy some new pressing gear and that stuff is not cheap!  So I'm happy to entertain any and all offers, but with prices like these, I wouldn't wait too long before pulling the trigger. ;)


How: (you can buy them)
First :takeit:: (icon, words, implied meaning, wink, nudge) posted publicly or privately wins over any PM negotiations that haven't been sealed with "it's a deal". Them's the rules.   

 
Who: (can't buy them)
No Shady characters please. This includes: Hall of Shamers, Probies, Intergalactic Dictators, or Chicago parking police (I'm flexible on that last one...)


When: (you pay, you get comics)
Shipping is $4 flat for any group of singles up to 7, $1/book thereafter.   First class shipping for up to 2 books, Media mail for 3 or more for all others. Priority (extra $5) & insurance optional as well. (about $5/book or bundle) Payment via Paypal only please. Int'l shipping will be actual cost. Returns accepted within 7 days of receipt of book.

Ok, let’s get started!

Young King Cole Vol 3. #12 – VG- $40

Last issue of the title! Solid book with some edge tears rear cover. Tight staples with lite rust on the bottom, no migration. The biggest issue is the 2" tear under the "Y". It is confined to cover only and does not go through the book.

Young King Cole Vol 3. #4 – VG+ $40 SOLD

Great colors on this one! Flat book Cover is detached. Solid interior though and the cover art is, well, the dog's bollocks. Like a delete scene from Indiana Jones.

Overall nice book with the only real issue being a very short tear mid spine (cover only). Staples are holding, but top staple is popped from front. Solid interior. COOL COVER!

Key Comics #1 - Qualified GD+ $100  SOLD @ 50% OFF

Great GGA cover!! Spine is a bit rough but stable (-the ink is chipping - not paper wear per se), 1-1/4" upper spine split. CF missing. That's why it's cheap. Marry it and make a better book (or just enjoy it for years like I have as-is)

Kellogg's Funny Jungleland Moving pictures – VG $40 SOLD

This is quite an oddity. Most "comics" from this time (1909, Platinum Age) aren't even close to a modern format, but this one is. It's about the same width of a GA book, and about 1" shorter. It's also neat because of it's unique pages. It's hard to describe, but the interior pages are cut multiple times horizontally so you can change and swap the scene/clothing in many different ways. The book does have some tape and one edge as a long spine split. Still a very stable and fun book that looks great in any collection.

Humbug #7 – VG/FN $60 SOLD VIA PM

Although from 1958, I think this cover is very relevant to our times. Also, relevant to drone operators. Anyway, this is a cool Mad Magazine-like book that is comic-sized. 1" upper spine split. Otherwise, solid. Seen the book for much more other places.

Junior Comics #10 *Qualified* $350 SOLD VIA PM

Would be VG if not for the missing physical page 20/21(torn out) which affects the 2nd to last story. There is also some scotch tape on cover over staples. Still, it’s Junior with a great GGA cover…don’t wait!

Captain Easy #16 FN $40 SOLD VIA PM

Pretty solid book here, nice with great interior. Book was miscut so the spine doesn’t allow the back to align. Still, great book with some nice 30’s GGA art in it.

Captain Easy #11 VG $40 SOLD VIA PM

Nice GGA cover here. Spine has some holes and a small split bottom. Staples are rusty, bottom popped from front only, top soon to be the same. Still a nice presenting issue of a not-so-common book. Great 30’s style art inside.
