october Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thanks for the welcome guys. I love weird esoteric comics/mags like this stuff! Glad I could help get that last image for you all. As far as the interior. Text and illustrations only. Not in comic form. It does not say who the artist is/are like the Gothic Romance mag from Atlas/Seaboard does. One of these days I am going to send in my GTOL #1 & 2 to CGC. I am pretty good at grading (after over 30 years messing with comics I should be) and I think both will be at least 9.0 (probably higher). Wish I still had my original copy of Gothic Romances. Sold it for $250 raw around 4 years ago. (It was virtually perfect a 9.6 minimum). I still have a lower grade copy but oh the money that sweet copy would bring now! You should post your 1 & 2 as well....and any other offbeat magazines you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill999 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 WOW! a GTOL #3 scan it looks great and its even the 60 cent price variant issue! My god! you say you paid $1.00 for it? Imagine what that GTOL #3 would go for on ebay today!!!!!. One the "title page" of all the 60 cent cover price editions of GTOL it states 75 cents per copy but its clear for one to see that they all sports a 60 cent cover price logo. All we need now folks is a scan of the 75 cent edition of GTOL #3 posted on the board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingdeadite-migration Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Which of the two prices (60 or 75 cents) is the harder to find? I know that either is tough but all three of mine issues are the 60 cent version so for me the 75 cent price would be the scarcer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Not sure as bill999 states above: it states 75 cents on the title page so it would seem that the 60 cent version is the price variant. I notice the 75 cent versions (of issues 1 and 2) appears faded and not as sharp as the 60 covers. Wondering if this was shoddy printing or just bad scans? Also can either bill999 or walkingdeadite confirm the artwork that Joe_Collector posted in this thread as being in one of these 3 issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill999 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 The Scans are faded on the 75 cent editions of GTOL 1,2 that I sent because issue #1 was from a scan sent to me by someone who one the book on ebay and its the way I got it in the mail. The GTOL #2 scan of the 75 cent edition I scaned from a FR grade copy. The scan is faded sorry to say but the best I could provide. It was about 9 months ago I confirmed all 3 issues existed in both 60 and 75 cent formats. I have never owned issue #3 either price versions but wish I had a copy in any grade!

Bladak Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Here is the #3 price variant btw. #1 $.75 and #2 and #3 $.60 are by far the hardest to get in my opinion. I remember stumbling upon #3 at Chicago thinking it was a number 1 only to get home to get shocked when I was going through the details. Anyone have any info as to why the price variant was created? Was it a direct (which I can't imagine for this book) vs indirect thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill999 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 #3 is with out doubt the hardest to find in any grade!!!! I sold a FR grade copy of GTOL #2 for $60 when the NM guide price was $50 for it that was 5 years ago!. Now look at what it guides for in 9.2!!!!!. A raw copy of GTOL #1 that I paid $16.00!! for, sold a few months ago in CGC 9.4 for $1,800.00!!! ----- part of the sale was in trade!
