Closed! Randall Dowling's House of Unusual Gems- paperbacks, digests, and magazines 8 8

[Randall Dowling]

Ballantine Books, Tales of the Incredible, 1965. Fine (unread). A nearly perfect copy that looks like the day it was printed. There's an incredibly light, non-color breaking crease on the lower right of the front cover that keeps it from being like new. Hard to find a better copy of this gorgeous Frazetta cover. A lesser copy just sold on ebay for $45. This copy is $60  Sold to The Lions Den

Warner, Ron Goulart, Vampirella #6 Snakegod, 1976. Fine (unread). An outstanding copy of this tough book. Complete with the insert ad for cigarettes. The classic cover from Vampirella 89 was used for this last book in the series. $70

I believe you mean the classic cover from this book was later used on Vampirella 89, not the other way around.  But that’s nitpicking

Lancer, Hans Stefan Santesson (editor), The Mighty Swordsmen, 1970. Almost NF. A nice glossy copy with a crease on the spine. Otherwise, a very clean and glossy copy of this cool title with a wraparound cover by the great Steranko. $20

You are correct, of course, OE!  I don't know why I switched it around.

That's it for the books listed so far.  I'm finished for tonight but will list another tranche of digests and magazines in the morning before closing up this first round.  I'll get claims sorted shortly.

Thanks to all for looking!

Dang, I stepped away from the computer for 10 minutes and missed everything.

Why are you selling this for $40? Are you crazy? Oh... just saw it sold. No wonder. Lucky bidder. One of Cole's best romance covers...

This thread is both a clinic and a barroom brawl!  Bravo, and thank you Douglas!

I'll.take everything in the thread still unsold as of this post.

I can now die happy, having seen this reply in a sales thread on the boards

[mrlatko]

I just started collecting Frazetta paperbacks, and then @TupennyConanand @dovershow up and ruin everything! 

I'm buddies with them both, so it takes away some of the pain in having missed out on these.
