All Righty! Scans are all finished, I'm going to list a couple paperbacks and take a break. My beloved tells me an early dinner will be ready shortly.

Back after food with the comics.

Greenmask, Dell Mapback 111

This is a flat tight glossy book, square, nice interior. There are a couple of (slightly) bumped corners, see scan. 
Spine pic following from the camera. 

Asking $15 for a nice one

Is this your belated  “brunch” post? Or, an early evening post?

Man, I’m tired…

Belated Brunch. DO try to pay attention, young man. There will be a quiz later.

Your attention please. 
This is the last book for this session. 
Yes, I am looking on YOUR directon, Robot Man. Now sit up straight. 

This is War 7, Jan 1953

Pretty gruesome cover, Our Heroes are about to die a violent death. 
I don't see too many of these Standard Comics war issues, and they seem to sell pretty well when I do find them.
Small split upper spine, bit of general wear. The black cover displays quite well. Tight, good gloss, white pages.

Asking $75

AHA!  The hive mind comes through again. Thanks speedcake! 
So who supplied all the foreign bases with little star stamps?  Or were the stamps...ahh...stamped...before distribution?

Adding to speedcake's explanation.  Can't speak to how the stateside military bases worked, but overseas there was usually a "Stars and Stripes" bookstore separate from the PX/BX.  Comics were sold here, as well as books, magazines and the Stars and Stripes daily newspaper.  All these materials were stamped at time of sale before they went out the door, in lieu of a register receipt.

I'm sure there's a small sliver of collectors who favor star-stamped copies.

Light dogear, couple teensy chips FC on a flat, clean, tight, glossy copy with white pages.

Good Humor Cartoons V9 #60, Charlton
Eighty pages of b&w one shot gags, one or  two or four per page, plus some bad prose jokes :D 

That's not a chip upper RH FC, just a dogear folded under. Pretty nice copy, and not something I've run across before. 

How about $10?
