I literally had a dream about one of these books last night. If I weren’t saving for a new house, I’d be going to town.

All-American Men of War #14 (DC, 1954) CGC 5.0 Cr/OW

Irv Novick cover. Russ Heath and Ross Andru art

Personally, I love these old 50s war books. You don't see them around often and that's why there are only 9 copies on the census. And not expensive at all!

FORUM PRICE: $125.00

First appearance of Dr. Occult (a Superman prototype) in DC Comics, in color, and in costume! Vince Sullivan cover. Joe Shuster, Leo O'Mealia, and Whitney Ellsworth art. Jerry Siegel story. Gerber "7" or "scarce."

Incredibly solid copy of this rare and historic book.

A CGC 3.5 conserved copy sold for $3,240 on July 7, 2022. Heritage has sold just a handful of copies over the last two decades.

There are only 11 copies graded higher, and the highest is not surprisingly just a 7.0.

Both Overstreet and Gerber list this book as "scarce". Robot cover. Adaptation of The Phantom Creeps. Gene Autry, Bela Lugosi, Gary Cooper, and Laurel and Hardy appearances. Sheldon Mayer art. 

A CGC 3.5 copy sold in April of this year via Heritage for $1,680.00.

I won't go as high as Heritage so hopefully one of the underbidders is here on the Boards but good luck finding another copy!

Per PM. Thanks!

Famous Funnies #28 (Eastern Color, 1936) CGC 1.8 OW/W pages. 

Mickey Finn begins a run in this issue. 

CGC notes: "cover detached". Probably would have been a 5.0 otherwise. Oh well.

There are no sales on GPA noted for the last six years and I can tell you why: there are only five other copies graded! So if you are looking to complete the run, like I am, here is a great filler copy!

FORUM PRICE: $125.00

 

Is this still available? If so,

Since Esquire is still selling books out of this thread…. Someone has to be interested in the Captain Aero 26.  Great looking book!  Very surprised if it never was snapped up.

I love this thread — hard to see these days… threads like this (and members like esquirecomics) were one of the main reasons which made me decide to join the boards, over 10 years ago.

Agree and…I think many of us could say the same about YOU.
