Just missed it. 

Yes. Good and quick take on the French 6

[Randall Dowling]

Vampirella 12 (French), 7.5. The spine on this book is pristine, the black cover is nearly perfect except for visible wear on the top right and some non-color breaking impressions on the front. This cover was originally used in the US for Vampirella 27. Another issue you don't see very often. $50  Sold to JRBaxter

Weird Vol. 2 No. 2, April 1967, 9.4, Incredibly rare book in this condition considering it's 50 years old and the paper they used was very cheap.  I've never seen a better copy and I've been looking at these for a very long time.  Colors and gloss are bright and fresh.  If TATs weren't what they are, I'd get this certified before selling.  The census shows a single 9.8, single 9.4, and a single 9.2 with only 7 copies graded total.   $280  Sold to eyersman @60% off

Man's Story September 1961, VF. These magazines are tough in any condition. They're really tough in Fine or better condition. My personal copy is about the same as this one. And this book as it all- interior art is stunning and the Norm Eastman cover is classic Nazi torturing a woman with a G.I. coming to the rescue. $200

I didn't know about the French versions, but I've adjusted my Vampirella collection to just focus on covers I like, rather than trying to complete it - I love this Frazetta piece and having it on a French Vampirella is kinda cool. Look forward to seeing the difference in cover quality.

I meant to respond to this last night and got sidetracked.  This is one of my favorite Frazetta covers as well.  The French Vampirellas are just all around higher quality productions- stiff cardstock covers, nice white heavy weight paper in the body and tightly square bound.  By far my favorite of all foreign editions.

 I'm finishing up this round with a few books in about 20 minutes.

[Randall Dowling]

Deadly Hands of Kung Fu 4, 8.5-9.0. Looks like it just came off the press but has a number of non-color breaking dents on the spine and a couple of dents in the middle of the cover. Otherwise, a beautiful copy with an awesome Neal Adams cover. $50  Sold to dover

Epic Illustrated 34, 8.0-8.5. Another great looking book with fresh qualities but some non-color breaking issues and a little bit of soiling on the back cover (visible in scan). As the last issue in the run, this issue is a little bit more challenging in high grade. Also, includes a chapter of “The Last Galactus Story” by John Byrne. It's a real cliffhanger! $50

[Randall Dowling]

Eerie 122 (Canadian), 9.2-9.4. Pretty book with great gloss and fresh colors (my scanner is producing some artifacts that aren't on the book). $50

[Randall Dowling]

Eerie 127 (Canadian), 9.4. Nice, solid, high grade copy. $70

[Randall Dowling]

Eerie 132 (Canadian), 8.0-8.5. Glossy and fresh book with a few spine stresses and some other non-color breaking issues. $30

[Randall Dowling]

Eerie 134 (Canadian), 9.0. Solid copy with some light, non-color breaking impressions on the cover and minor spine stress or two. These end of run issues are a bit tougher in higher grades than the rest. $40

[Randall Dowling]

Creepy 137, 9.2. Nice bright copy with full gloss.  The front cover says it all- this mag is chock full of sweet, sweet Al Williamson art.  $50

[Randall Dowling]

And that's it for round 2.  I'll send out totals in the next day or so.  Thanks again to all that purchased, you guys are great!
