Avon 43, A. Merritt, Burn Witch Burn, 1942, VG-. A minor spine slant and general wear on this copy but otherwise solid. First 50 Avons can be tough in decent shape. The later printing looks almost identical except for the Avon logo at top. Imagine if this was a comic book!  $15

Take.

Here is my copy with the different logo.

All Man, May 1962, G/VG. Well the phrase “beat but complete” certainly fits this copy. But that doesn't change how cool the cover is! Free with the next purchase of a magazine!!  Claimed by thehumantorch

Man's Daring, Vol. 1 No. 1, June 1959, VG/F. Structurally it's probably a Fine with just a small amount of staple rust but has the eye appeal of a VG/F so that's my grade on it. First issue in a long running title with some of the more bizarre covers. Gorgeous cover by the master Clarence Doore. $40

Real Men, October 1962, VG/F. This copy is very fresh and glossy but has a spine split at the bottom of the spine. Otherwise, a pretty copy of a classic decapitated head trophy cover (reprinted later on other titles). $70

Real Men, June 1968, FN-. Another pretty, bright copy but has a very light crease on the front and a few small tears on the back. Glossy and white, otherwise.  Personally, I'm confused by the story about a squad of prostitutes, sounds impossible. $30

Real, June 1962, VG+. Typical wear associated with the grade on this beautiful cover by George Gross. Apparently, Machine Gun Kelly liked his women a certain way. $40

Real Men, August 1964, VG/F. Clean, solid, copy of this classic cover composition. There's an article on marital arrangements that may not be good advice. Also, a discussion of nympho housewives. $30

Man's Life, January 1960, F/VF. One of the nicer copies of this book that I've ever seen. Classic hanging cover, those women look like they want justice, and a necktie party is the only thing that will do. $150  Sold to thehumantorch @20% off

Falling In Love 121, VG. What's this doing in here? A comic book?? Yes, but it's not just any comic book. One of my all time favorite romance covers. Psychedelic cover meets mod squad. $35
