Galen130 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Tomb of Darkness #23. This is the final issue in the series, featuring reprinted stories from Men’s Adventures #25, Marvel Tales #132 & #146, and Astonishing #47. I believe this comic to be in Good/Very Good condition, or better. The scans show the defects well, including light ink wear on the top of the front cover, mild wrinkling/finger bends on the front cover, corner creases, edge bends, and an ink-breaking production wrinkle on the FC to the left of the monster's mouth. The back has some foreign substance on it in a few places that I believe will clean off. There are very small tears on the top edge of the back cover, along with a few nicks around the edges of both covers. Pages are off-white to white. $5 Edited April 11, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Tragg and the Sky Gods #7. This short-lived comic series was published by Whitman and Gold Key comics, each with a separate publisher’s logo. This is the Whitman copy. I believe this comic to be in Fine condition, or better. This comic shows very light wear on the spine and no tears at the staples. There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that very lightly break the ink. This is actually a decent looking comic, with a clean back cover (very light soiling, top edge), but the spine roll is a problem. I believe this can be pressed out…for the most part. The front cover shows a couple of light ink-breaking corner creases, as well as some mild indentations/finger bends that will press out. Pages are off-white to white. $7 Edited April 11, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Uncanny Tales #2 (1973 series). This issue features reprinted stories from Marvel Tales, Mystic, and Uncanny Tales (1952 series). I believe this comic to be in Good plus condition, or better. This comic has plenty of issues, as seen in the scans, but the most glaring is the ink overspray on the top of the back cover and all pages. At first, I thought it was mold...thank God it isn't. The cover is a bit loose at the staples, but firmly attached. There are plenty of creases all around, and the back cover shows plenty of light soiling and/or ink transfers. Pages are off-white. $3 Edited April 22, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Direct edition copy of Uncanny X-Men #151. With works by Cockrum and Claremont, this issue features an appearance by the Hellfire Club, as well as Jean Grey. I believe this comic to be in Fine condition, or better. This comic shows hardly any wear on the spine and no tears at the staples. There is light blunting of the spine corners (especially the bottom one), as well as a handful of spine stress creases/ticks that very lightly break the ink. The front cover shows an ink-breaking crease at the top right corner, as well as a small ink-breaking finger bend close to the top spine corner. The front cover also shows some light foreign substance in spots from Kitty’s chest through the letter ‘C’ in ‘Uncanny’. I can feel these areas so they may clean off pretty well. The back cover shows a few spots of very light soiling around the page, as well as a vertical indentation through the front wheels of the vehicle. This can be pressed out. Pages are off-white to white. $6 Edited April 11, 2022 by Galen130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With works by John Romita, Jr. and Chris Claremont, this issue features an appearance by the Hellfire Club. I believe this comic to be in Fine/Very Fine condition, or better. This comic shows hardly any wear on the spine and no tears at the staples. There is light blunting of the spine corners, as well as a few spine stress creases/ticks that barely break the ink. The entire comic shows a small area of moisture damage through the book, starting from the back. However, there is no staining present. All pages inside are affected to one degree or another. I believe a press will work wonders on it. The back cover also shows a few indentations and scuffs. There is also a very mild spine roll that can be pressed out.

Galen130 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Where Monsters Dwell #28. The cover was done by Jack Kirby, and the comic contains reprints from Tales to Astonish #9 (origin and 1st Droom), among other publications. I'll give this comic an estimate of no higher than Good. It has too many issues, mainly the TWO pieces of tape on the front cover with 'Steve' written on them. Damn you Steve!!! $4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
