Vampirella #6 Snakegod by Ron Goulart   Warner Books No. 86-090   1976       $50  SOLD to NerV

An outstanding copy of this tough book. I don't think I've sold a copy of this one before.  Complete with the insert ad for cigarettes. The classic cover from Vampirella 89 was used for this last book in the series. 

VF Minus. Square, glossy and tight. Has a hairline spine crease, small bend on cover and a few little touches of wear at the edges. Beautiful.

Dammit, distracted this morning with a bit of research and a Flickr post and missed the one I wanted (Run Tough, Run Hard), GOLDIIIIIIIEEEEEE  You know what you are????  

(reference to Tuco's curse of Blondieeeee as he's getting hanged atop a cross in a graveyard in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly).

 

Mstrange took that book, not me, not that it matters.

It actually just fits into a paperback sized bag. It's a skinny 100 pages as well. Great little mag, historical as well with the early Maguire.

Don't know who did the linework inside, it's unsigned. There's a vignette at the head of each story, one or two look like a different artist maybe.

 

Mmkay, so it's in a group of neat pulps even smaller than digest-sized, "pockets".   These last two smaller issues alternated monthly with Trojan sister title Pocket Western.  I would never ever have pegged Maguire as the artist on the one you're selling.  Any chance he did this one for Pocket Western Magazine, too?

I think it’s just easier to blame you….

 Seminole by Theodore Pratt  Gold Medal 369   1st Printing   January 1954     $30

I sold a 2nd print with the slightly smaller art before.   This is the full version of the pretty daring wrap around nude GGA cover by John Floherty

Fine Plus. Square, tight and bright.  Light spine and edgewear. Small dig in the spine.  No creasing to speak of.

Is that the scan or are there no nipples drawn on the boobs? Looks odd.

No nipples painted, or lightened up/painted over by the art director. Hard to know but they could not have gotten away with it at a mainstream publishing house otherwise.

Wild Parties by Max Lief   Novel Library No. 40   1st PB edition    1950     $40

Tough later number from Avon's racy sister line. Who doesn't love a wild party?   Great GGA

VF minus. Square, tight, bright and new looking. Has a touch of spine wear, a little dent at top front and bottom, that's about it. Feels very fresh and new.

Basement Gang by David Williams   Intimate Novels No. 32    PBO  1953     $120  SOLD per PM

Legendary JD/Drug digest with the famous photo cover of the boy with an e*r*e*c*t*i*o*n that was censored on 4 later usages of the cover photo. It's a battle whether this is better or lesser than my keeper. I'll regret selling it anyway.

A bright VF minus/VF  copy that is super glossy and new looking with no creasing to speak of, just a few bends on the back edge, a touch of wear to the edges, a few of the page tips have minor chipping although the pages are cream/off-white without any brittleness.  A fridge magnet for sure.
