:news: SOLD via PM! Blonde Phantom #21, an incomplete remaindered copy. The book is missing the last four pages (two leaf’s) because someone ripped out the Sub-Mariner story. As a result, the second and third leafs are loose but in there. The cover is detached at the top staple.

Buuut….both Blonde Phantom stories are complete, and it’s a tough, late Timely hero book, with only 17 on census.

$50

Ok, this last one’s sort of a rerun, but it was lost in a Mixed thread, I suspect….

Love Romances #83 GVG to VG- Joe Sinnott's file copy, signed by him on the margin of the 1st page of his story. Jack Kirby cover, 2 Matt Baker stories (1st and last stories in book). 

(While many of Joe’s Atlas era file copies were comps from the newsstand at the NYC Atlas office, a few that he missed on his trips in to the office were later acquired as back issues. As this is lower grade than the other Atlas books I have from Joe’s files, I believe this was acquired as a back issue. But Joe endeavored to keep a copy of everything he did, and he signed the best copy of each of his keepers on the margin of the first page of each story he did in a book. What this means for Joe Sinnott file copies 1) some books have multiple signatures by Joe in them, such as Devil Dog Dugan. 2) Joe was allowed up to three comp copies of books he worked on in the Atlas era, but prior to his passing, he and his sons with help from a trusted longtime dealer friend kept aside the best copy of each, which Joe signed in this manner, then they sold off the unsigned undercopies. Since Joe’s passing, they have begun to disburse Joe’s signed keepers, and I have had the opportunity to acquire some.)

$100
