I thought the starting price was a bit high, but now I regret not going for it... I thought the same thing - I assumed a number of lots would go unsold but....I was wrong! Could also be the lack of the normal eBay shill bidding that drives up low priced lots 6 days before they end. In that sense it was refreshing and I'm happy for the buyer and seller (wasn't me)!

rjpb Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I thought those Wu Fangs looked pretty nice, as do a lot of that sellers books, but the pages in the pictures looked a bit toasty. Still a solid deal at under $500 a book if they aren't brittle. Joshua33 and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waaaghboss Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm curious about this one, does anyone know what it is? Bookery guide mentions some issues after the ginger run with a different font that might have been reprints or knockoffs, which I'm guessing the cover is, but the guts are la paree. It doesn't look like the cover was married, and the style and numbering of the splash page doesn't seem to fit in with other la paree styles. Spent a while googling and count find anything related to this. Sadly I set my alarm wrong and missed auction, but am still curious about the book. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like there are a few of these late 30s girlie mags that have different logos and numbering from the main series, I think often after the main series ceased publishing. Were Irwin Publications (La Paree) and Edmar/Nudeal (Ginger) related companies? waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand F copies of older books getting going for well above guide, but there's a copy of that dime mystery up on ebay in the same condition for half the price.

I don't know the market for the beautiful Doc Savage comic #1 from 1940 but can't imagine it fetching this kind of condition price, even in this crazy time.

I don't know about the relative scarcity of this issue and GA comics usually far outstrip early pulps but I guess Doc, Tarzan and Shadow outstrip their comics, which have languished, relatively to Super Hero's, Pre-Code and some other Genres I think it's for a few reasons. The characters first appeared in pulps several years before the comics. If you're picking one or the other, the pulps are enough like comics that there's probably more crossover to the pulps than there would be for other characters. And from everything I've heard the early Shadow and Doc Savage comics just weren't that good, and the Tarzans were strip reprints. So there's not that much driving them compared to other first comic appearances. Surfing Alien, Joshua33, waaaghboss and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 A few of the results I found interesting, for one reason or another. The Shadow in particular was a jaw-dropper, the others I'm admittedly more interested in because I have copies. waaaghboss and Surfing Alien 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
