Dynamic Comics 21

Scarce Superior title taken over from Chesler, only copy I can find is a coverless ebay copy for $99. Heritage had the promise copy, a 9.4 that sold for $6000

G, nice eye appeal but spine splitting at top and bottom, no brittleness. Both staples secured throughout book but there is a spine split near the bottom one where the back of the comic is still stapled. Minor grease pencil checkmark on cover. Small piece missing at bottom of front cover, some corner folds down there too, tear under the cape of the superhero on the cover that extends through the first 2 or 3 pages. Tear to middle left of back cover, a few small tears at the spine and light staining back cover.

Hard to price this because there are so few copies available anywhere.

$300

Teen-Age Romances 41

Ultra-rare borderless late-in-the-run issue with Baker Cover

Fr, incredibly unfortunate tape pulls (2) to cover image, about 1" by 2" piece missing from lower right of front cover, book is complete, cover detached and split about 2/3 of the way up the book. There are pieces on the back cover that are folded but I am apprehensive about moving them. There doesn't seem to be a brittleness to the pages but rather a worn-down feeling, if that makes any sense. Reader grade of an impossible book.

There is probably one buried in there in a lot somewhere, but I could not find any copies of this book to ever sell on Heritage. Kinda mind-boggling

Tales to Astonish 63

1st full appearance of the Leader after cameo appearance in armor in TTA 62

Complete with pinup

VG, book appears to have been pressed by an amateur so the staple line does not match up with the spine. The book can probably be pressed so the pages line up again to lose the spine roll. There are some small "bug chews?" on the top of the spine.

$95
