That's it for this session. 
I *may* be back this afternoon with a couple vintage SF hardcovers. 

The stories I've heard over the years say that Stan Lee...ahh..."borrowed" the idea for The Uncanny X-Men from 
two titles:  bits from Mutant, by Lewis Padgett, and more from Children of the Atom, by Wilmar Shiras. 
I have first edition Gnome Press hardcovers in dust jacket of both books.

If chores go well I'll be back midafternoon to list both.

Here's a preview

would love to know if these particular books were in Jack Kirby's dungeon.

[catrick339]

Let's list a couple science fiction classics.

Mutant, Gnome Press, 1953, stated first edition. Novelization of five earlier short stories, authored by "Lewis Padgett"
pen name used by Henry Kuttner, sometimes with his wife, C. L. Moore. Most of the sources I looked at say this is 
by Kuttner acting solo. 

Everybody hates those damned bald-headed mutants!  Sound familiar?

Book is very nice indeed, only a pencil price inside the FC with a couple small spots of soiling. The balance of the book is
clean and untouched. Jacket is nice, price is NOT clipped, but there's a small tear lower FC, and two small tears upper BC.
I'll be uploading plenty of pictures from my phone shortly. 

Asking $50, FIRM  SOLD!

Take plz

Children of the Atom, Gnome Press, 1953, stated first edition. 
By Wilmar Shiras. Supposedly this novel is the source for much of Lee's take on the Uncanny X-Men. 
Read it quite a few years back, and I agree. 

Book is quite nice except for a bumped lower LH BC, and the usual pencil bookseller price inside the FC. 
Jacket has a small piece out RH FC, see the pix, and a corner off upper RH BC. Jacket is otherwise sharp with bright colors, NOT price clipped.

I want $50 for this one too,  FIRM.  SOLD!

I loved reading Mutant as a Teenager, now I'm a bald-headed mutant   Seriously that Gnome Press edition is one of only a small stack of books that survived my book collection purge when I moved out into my first apartment

 

[catrick339]

(Salaams in TheComicsPreacher's general direction)

Back this evening with the last push!  More comics-related PB's, more PCH, the last of the Bitter Disappointments, and a couple gorgeous noir books, just to work Surfing Alien's side of the street,  

[catrick339]

Your attention please!

I'll be starting early tonight, I just found out that Freevee is streaming both Reacher Season 1 and Fallout episode 1 for, well, FREE. 

I expect to binge on television tonight,  

Stand by for stuff!

[catrick339]

Amazing Spider-Man, Pocket 81443

Looks pretty good at first glance, but like an earlier book this one has been smacked HARD with something on the bottom edge. 
There were three in this batch, all with similar problems, this is the second-worst. 

FREE with the NEXT purchase of any sort, just claim it!  SOLD!
