[Randall Dowling]

Creepy 56, 9.4, $80, Just a beautiful copy of this tough black cover on a book that's been very challenging in high grade.  This came from a collection of very nice magazines, all of which had fresh pages and glossy, clean covers.  Outstanding cover art by Sanjulian and interiors by Richard Corben, Jose Bea, Auraleon, and more.  Sold to jrbaxter

Creepy 113, 9.2, $40, Just as the cover says, this amazing magazine is filled to the brim with excellent artwork by Berni Wrightson.  A nice solid copy that is glossy and clean with just a few minor flaws that keep it from grading higher.  Sold to dover

Creepy 130, 9.2, $25, One of the cooler covers toward the end of the run by Richard Courtney.  This book gave me problems trying to find a better copy.  The colors on this book are bright and fresh and look like they were just printed.  Sold to jr70

Creepy 137, 8.5, $20, I nice solid copy of a magazine filled with one of the masters of comic art- Al Williamson.  Another nice solid copy but the fingerprints on the back cover hold it down.  That tearing on the right side of the back cover is production related (same thing that caused Marvel chipping).

National Lampoon, September 1975, 8.0, $90, One of my favorite magazine covers of all time by Birney Lettick.  It's all kinds of wrong which is what makes it so good.  This book would grade higher but for a non-color breaking bend top right corner.  Otherwise, a very solid copy of this tough mag.  Sold to Joshua33!

Nightmare 9, 8.5, $85, No magazine would be complete without a little Skywald.  This cover was so well liked that Jim Warren used it to end the Creepy run.  As with most Skywalds, this is an extremely tough book in high grade.  This copy is very solid with excellent colors and gloss and a super clean white back cover.  Sold to piper!

Almost said 'pervert take' but didn't know if it would qualify.

Rampaging Hulk 9, 9.4+, $180, I wasn't going to list this book because it's pretty amazing and very tough in very high grade.  But a board member asked about it and so here it is.  If it doesn't sell, I'm fine keeping it.  Really, one of the best covers on all of the Marvel magazines, IMO.  Stunning copy.  Sold to stippy52!

Savage Sword of Conan 9, 8.5, $75, Just an amazing cover by Boris, this book has dripping wet gloss and colors but a collection of non-color breaking dents technically holds it down.  People seem to have figured out how special this book is as prices are really moving on it.  Again, not sad if it doesn't sell.  Sold to Joshua33!

Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu 10, 9.2-9.4, $160, 1st appearance of Steel Serpent.  All of these DHOKF have taken off and are getting pretty tough in high grade.  This copy is very clean and nice and glossy.

Heavy Metal July 1990, 9.4+, $60, The infamous issue featuring the oddly prophetic story about a New York developer (yes, that one) wanting to build a wall.  Hard to believe it came out 31 years ago!  Nice fresh clean copy that looks like it was just printed.
