That’s it for this little show. I love Timelys; the only reason I’m offering them is my number of incompletes is a little high for my liking, as I won’t be happy if I don’t chase marriages for all of them. So there needs to be fewer to chase.

I’ll consider partial trade for a center wrap for a Cap 17 and a USA 13, and the two center wraps of a Cap 38. Also, I’m open to acquiring the covers for All-Select 7 if someone has them and would rather go that route, but I much suspect anyone with those covers would just as much or more want to acquire my interior, so I put it up.

Thanks everyone for looking!

I’ll listen to reasonable PM’s, gang. Comps on Timelys in general are tough enough, let alone translating them to incomplete books.

Adding three more, non-Timely/Atlas….

Anyone know where that Secret Agent Z-2 first appeared?

Hmmm…. Under the first Chatman cover, that’s correct…which brings us to….

A very partial Crash Comics #5 (Nov 1940) Tem Publications, last issue, which happened to be Catman’s 2nd appearance and first cover appearance, Sadly, there’s just 20 of the 68 pages here, but it includes the entire Catman story. The pages are soft and slightly brittle (I’ve added micro chamber paper) but can be read carefully, as I have. Only 15 copies on the census; maybe someone can finish one, or just wants to take over stewardship of this Catman tale? 
I’ll picture all pages so we can enjoy them here.

Comps are tough; complete 4.0 sold for $3840 on May 15; a 2.0 brittle in 2015 was $215.

Let’s go $100

 Holyoke One-Shot #7! Thanks John! 

[Readcomix]

No additions tonight as it got late early, but I will scrounge for more that I can bear to part with, as requested via PM. (Y’know, ya can use the PM function to send a reasonable offer too. Again, comps were not easy/plentiful and therefore required extrapolation. You may extrapolate differently, and that’s ok.)
