Fantastic #1 (Copy A), FN/VF 7.0.  A very pretty copy of this first issue.  Only a small amount of paper loss at the heel of the spine (common to this book).  Otherwise, bright and glossy.  Classic cover by Barye Phillips. $70

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. $50

Croydon, The Dead Take No Bows, 1946, G+. All there and attached on this scarce title with a cover by L.B. Cole. All of these Cole Croydons are notoriously difficult in any grade. $30

Weird, Vol. 1, No. 11 (essentially issue 2), NM+ 9.6. Just a stunning example of this book which you never see in this condition. The census only has a single 9.6 and the next highest graded is a single 9.0. The cover is glossy with great colors. $400

 , Douglas. Thanks for working with me on the purchase.

Nugget Group Lot, Avg. VG 4.0.  Nice books with not a lot of wear but some rust on the staples holds them down.  $40 for the group.

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! $30

Lest we not overlook the great illustrated REH tribute as well...

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. $30

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. $35

Eerie 59, 8.5. Full gloss on a very tough black cover but there's some very light crease on the top of the book and the bottom staple has worn the cover (common to some of these Warrens). $25
