Robot Man Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 (edited) Wilbur #8 Spring 1945 MLJ Publications Classic "suggestive" cover and I will leave it at that. A worn but complete copy with full covers and no pieces missing. Has 1 1-1/2" upper spine tear. Top staple is popped. Lots of spine wear but attached at bottom staple. Numerous small edge tears, small creases and average wear. One Katy Keene page has a tear but nothing missing. Nice interior pages. Archie gets all the love but these early Wilburs are just as good. Was $45. Now $40. Edited Sunday at 05:03 PM by Robot Man PeterPark and path4play 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 (edited) Motion Picture Comics #110 "When World's Collide" May 1952 Fawcett Publications Classic George Pal sci-fi B movie.

Just general wear otherwise with supple interior paper. Nice color and complete. Was $30. Now $25. Edited Sunday at 04:40 PM by Robot Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obscure and the only one I have ever seen. 1-1/2" lower spine split. Spine is weak but cover still attached to cover. Back cover inside and out has a lot of crayon coloring. (and what a weird back cover it is!) Back cover also has a couple small pieces out. Has wrinkles, creases and all over edge wear. Presents well "in the mylar". Pages are yellowed but supple. And just to add insult to injury, no glasses. Still. all in all, a real tough book. Was $45. Now $40. Edited June 23 by Robot Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Well, the crowd has spoken, or more likely not. Pretty dismal this time. Maybe it’s the time of year, maybe folks are just being more selective or hanging on to their money. Or maybe it’s me. Wrong stuff at the wrong prices or maybe as the title suggests, “Junk”… So, in light of this, I have done some early price drops on most of this stuff…I mean junk. Probably the last drops on the stuff listed but you never know… I really don’t want to go the wasteland called EBay. I have a bunch more ready to post but I might hold off for today. So convince me… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
