Popular Post Readcomix Posted April 22 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 22 A word about the books: As many of you know, I recently brought to the boards Joe’s personal copies of his body of Archie and his body of Charlton romance work. In the case of the Archies, none was contributor copies from the publisher, so Joe bought the lowest grade available from Mile High, in the case of the Charltons, it was a mix, with some higher grade examples that were contributor copies from Charlton, and lower grade ones that were purchased as back issues. This is a very different animal: In the case of the Atlas work, Joe went to the offices in NYC weekly for his assignments and was allowed up to three copies of each book he worked on, plucked by him from the newsstand that Atlas ran in the office building that housed thenAtlas offices. Before Joe’s death, a close friend helped Joe and his family select the highest grade copy of each of his contributor copies. Joe sold off the undercopies unsigned, then kept the best copies and signed each one on the margin of the first page of each story he worked on, as he did with the Archies and Charltons. Since his passing, his family has sold Joe”s signed keeper copies to the friend who helped them grade the books, with the understanding that he would keep some and move many into collectors’ hands. He has sold me some of the Atlas books (I had all the Archies and Charltons, but those were much smaller bodies of work) with the same understanding: that I would keep a few and disseminate many to collectors here on the boards. I will offer at least 40 early post-code (and a couple pre-) Atlas western and war books. Many of these are single-digit census books, and a fair number of them have a shot at topping the current highest graded. Most are glossy and bright with characteristic light to moderate, even tanning to the inside covers. Joe stored these for years wrapped in a loose bundle, unbagged/unboarded. comicnoir, BlowUpTheMoon, KCOComics and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
