elibowman Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) True War Romances #3, Quality Comics, 1952). Salacious cover. Complete and attached but low grade. See edge wear, creasing, minor tears, chipping, etc. probably a 2.5 range book. $22 Edited June 9, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Underworld #1, DS Publishing,1948. Cover is really nice with the wear confined to the spine, and the back. Date in pencil in the "N" in Underworld, tearing at the staples, but still attached, staining back cover, interior showing some age around the edges. I think it's a 4.0, and presents nicer. Only 14 blue labels on the census. $220 Edited June 9, 2022 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Underworld #6, DS Publishing, 1949. This one is lower grade with the cover still attached, but precariously. Plenty of wear, spine split at the top about 2”, some interior damage. Seems like a 2.0 to me, but I would lean lower instead of higher on this. Only a single blue label on the census. $50 Edited June 9, 2022 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Unusual Tales #35, Charlton, 1962. Very sharp copy with minimal wear. There is a tiny corner crease bottom front right, a couple faint stains back, a little bit of spine wear. Great color and gloss. I have it at 8.0. No copies on the census as of now. $35 Edited June 9, 2022 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Yanks In Battle #2, Quality Comics, 1956. Solid and complete but lower grade copy. Creasing and edge wear, some paper missing from bottom right front corner, and back top middle. Stains back cover. Pages are very nice, and copy is well attached. Please review pics. I have it at 2.5 or maybe 3.0. $15 Edited June 9, 2022 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 That is the end (or very close to the end) of the Golden Age stuff. I might throw another couple on here as I go. I will try and go faster for the Silver/Bronze stuff. Again, thanks for looking, and happy to field reasonable offers. Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 I took another spin throught the boxes, and I have a few more GA to add. Trying to get them up before noon Central, but juggling work too. Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) The Spirit #4, Fiction House, 1953. This book is just beautiful. Great bondage cover, with spectacular colors and gloss. Flat, tight, complete with a great spine. TINY bit of edge wear (see above "A.N.C.", bottom right corner, and right below The Spirit's hind end), spectacular pages. 14 on the census, with four at 8.0 to top it. Feels like this has a great shot to be in that range, or possibly even half a step better. One of the 8.0s sold June of '21 for $1,320. $625 Edited June 10, 2022 by elibowman Changer and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Detective Comics #167, DC, 1951. BEAT but complete. Lots of spine damage/splitting/etc, and cover detached. Cover is still holding together in several places. Pieces missing. Nice colors in the body of the cover. Pages all there, and well attached. 1.5ish. $50 Edited June 10, 2022 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 So much for noon. Six more Atlas books (hopefully) this afternoon. PeterPark and Dr. Balls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Work is so intrusive on my comic book life...no guarantee I will get all six posted right now, but here is at least a couple. Uncanny Tales #28, Atlas, 1955. Like a lot of my Atlas books in this thread, it's solid and complete, but lower grade. The front has general wear that might put it in the 4.5 range. However, sizable stain on the back cover that impacts the last several pages brings it down. I am calling it 3.5. $65 **SOLD to @Dr. Balls** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited June 10, 2022 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Uncanny Tales #30, Atlas, 1955. Beautiful copy with a nice spine. A couple corner creases on top and bottom right front hold it back. I have it at 5.5. $125 Edited June 10, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Uncanny Tales #33, Atlas, 1955. Very solid and complete copy. Edge/spine wear to the front is the biggest issue. Nothing major to call out. Just a 67 year old book that has been read but pretty well cared for. I have it at 4.5. $85 Edited June 10, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Uncanny Tales #34, Atlas, 1955. This feels like a poster child for VG books that are 50+ years old. No major issues, but lots of general wear. No tears or major creases. Spine and edge wear along with basic aging bring it down to 4.0. $65 Edited June 10, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Uncanny Tales #43, Atlas, 1956. This book looks pretty decent in the mylar, but ~3" of cumulative spine split (maybe 2" at bottom, and 1" at top) along with some interior tanning to the edges bring it down. I am at 1.8 based on the splitting. $35 Edited June 10, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Uncanny Tales #48, Atlas, 1956. I love this red cover. Small corner piece missing front, some creasing and spine wear, along with edge wear (especially to bottom). Now…I am concerned this book may be trimmed. I am NOT convinced of it, and I am not an expert in determining trimming. It is nearly identical in size as the #43. But the right and top edges just don't present like the bottom. I don't know. Going with 3.0 with a possibility of trimming $40 ** SOLD to @podboy66** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited June 11, 2022 by elibowman Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Alright...pausing for now. Very busy Saturday, so I don't expect to post much...but maybe. Still a bunch of books to get listed. Thanks for looking. Shoot me some offers, and anyone who has bought can get an invoice at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
