Thank you for pointing this out. And I want to clarify for anyone seeing these, if it seems like suddenly I have a lot of Joe signed books, it is because his family has begun moving his collection, including his personal file copies, which he usually signed on the margin of the first page of each story he did in a given book. They are handling his OA themselves, but through an intermediary I have been given the chance to obtain some of his 50’s Atlas file copies (I did share a couple on here in sales threads but have kept most of the handful I have gotten) and his total Archie output file copies (45 books from 1969-1974). I HOPE to be able to attain a slightly larger but still smallish set of Joe file copies of total output for another publisher; if I am able, I will also share those here less some keepers, but I will record the entire output in a thread as a record of Joe’s file copies.

I’ve posted this before, but I knew Joe since I was a high school kid in the 80’s. I had organized some local comic cons and Joe and other local artists (Herb Trimpe, Dan Green, the Pinis, Greg LaRocque) were our most regular local guests. In the 90’s, I had the chance to interview Joe a couple times, including for a profile for Comic Book Marketplace. We stayed in touch off and on over the years. 

I just wanted everyone to understand how this thread and other offerings came about, and I’m honored to be trusted to be part of their dissemination to fellow collectors.

That's so cool.  I bet its been awesome to see the growth of those comic cons and the industry itself.

Well, I didn't stay a part of it in that way (as a comic con promoter), in that I only did a handful of cons as a kid because I wanted them in my smalltown area. I stopped when I went on to college and others filled the gap locally as the hobby grew everywhere. But I certainly watched and participated as a collector, as so many of us did.

Thanks Matt; when I was offered the chance to get them all, my first thought was I have to share these, and this place is the home of so many heartfelt, dedicated collectors. I saw the chance to do that and have an old school sales thread that gets some good conversation going within it and captures some more comics history within this great repository of comics knowledge that these boards are.

There were 5 unsigned books among the 45. I am keeping the unsigned Pals n Gals #’s 71 & 72, and I’ll offer the other three unsigned ones now. I’ll try to finish up in the a.m. with the rest of the signed books. We have Betty and Me and a couple Christmas Love-ins for the morning.

:news: SOLD! Archie Giant Series Magazine #196 — Sabrina’s Christmas Magic. GCD shows why Joe didn’t sign this one — he inked 13 stories here! All were either Al Hartley or Stan Goldberg. Nice looking copy, on the higher side of VG range. $15
