Eerie 65, 8.5. I would grade this around 9.2-9.4 except for a 1/4” bindery tear at the top of the book. Some would call this production but I think 8.5 makes more sense. Otherwise, this book is very glossy and bright with a tough black cover. $18

[Randall Dowling]

Man's Life, Vol. 1, No. 1, November 1952, 4.5. The first issue of this iconic run of magazines. $36

[Randall Dowling]

Man's Life, Vol. 1, No. 6, September 1953, 7.0-7.5. Solid book with great colors and only minor wear. $30

[Randall Dowling]

Underworld Detective, January 1950, 4.0. Classic bondage cover with a man putting out his cigarette on the woman. A few pieces of tape here and there but still a completely solid copy.  Very tough in any grade. $96  Sold to DocHoppus182

Marvel Super Action 1, 7.0. Solid and tight with nice gloss and color. Early Punisher appearance. $24

[Randall Dowling]

Man's World, Vol. 2, No. 2, March 1956, 7.0. Nice glossy copy, very tough to find in higher grades. Who knew Wyoming had such foxy pick-up girls?  $28

[Randall Dowling]

Real Men, December 1957, 5.0. Solid copy with great colors. I like the debate on Nudism.  I dislike the idea of marrying a prostitute.  $20

[Randall Dowling]

Man's Conquest, February 1956, 5.5. Super glossy and bright cover on this classic book but has a spine split at the bottom of the book. $16

[Randall Dowling]

Man's Daring, November 1961, 4.5. Beautiful colors and gloss for this very tough white cover. $24

[Randall Dowling]

Exotic Novel 14, Tonight For Sure, 1951, G/VG. A solid and bright copy with the usual wear and minor staple rust (a very common phenomenon on these digests). Exotic Novels are some of the most sought after of the period, tough to find in any shape. Wonderful George Gross cover. $16

[Randall Dowling]

Stork, Life of Passion, 1949, VG/F. A very pretty copy of these tough Stork books. Would grade it higher but for a very slight amount of staple rust. Otherwise, I very clean and bright copy with a wonderful Rodewald cover. $24

[Randall Dowling]

Stork, Lust For Love, 1949, VG+. Another tight and clean copy of these tough Storks. Would grade it higher but for a moderate amount of staple rust. Rodewald cover. $16

[Randall Dowling]

 

Fantastic Vol. 1 No. 1, 1952, VG/F+.  One of my favorite sci-fi digests, this is an unusually nice copy with great color and gloss.  This book is notorious for having pieces missing from the spine but this copy has only the slightest loss at the top of the book.  Classic Barye Cover.  $30  (I can't believe it didn't sell before.  If it doesn't sell at this price, I have to keep it.)  Sold to dover

Rampaging Hulk 9, 9.2. Very pretty and solid copy that looks fresh and new in hand with a pristine white back cover. Only a couple minor flaws keep it from grading higher. Great gloss and color on this classic cover by Earl Norem. $75  (if it was less than this, I'd buy it from myself)  Sold to Kramerica

Vampirella 39, 8.5. Very tough black cover for this classic Ken Kelly Vampirella. Nice and glossy copy, all solid and tight. $50

[Randall Dowling]

Pyramid Books 58, Vincent E. Burns, Female Convict, 1952. A VG- copy of this classic tale of women who committed crimes and thence locked up together. Some minor creasing but otherwise a solid copy. $15

[Randall Dowling]

Pyramid Books G387, Vivian Connell, The Dream and the Flesh, 1959. VG/F. A nice clean, bright copy with an unbroken spine but some general wear. Another gorgeous Maguire cover. $20

[Randall Dowling]

Kozy Book 158, John B. Thompson, Kiss or Kill, 1962, NF (unread). Very pretty copy with bright colors and freshness. Strategically placed flora keeps this cover from being for adults only. $25

[Randall Dowling]

Kozy Book 185, Nicky Weaver, Love Blood & Tears, 1962, NF- (unread). Another overall pretty copy with bright colors and freshness but some very minor general wear. I've searched and searched but can't find who did the art for these covers. It's well done work, all the same. $20
