Can't blame him. For a couple hundred one can amass a pile of abject coolness that wouldn't equal a downpayment on a GA Comic. Except for some cheap Barks, I haven't bought a comic in a minute. GOD BLESS ...

Scarce early Avon mystery with nice pulpy cover art.

Square and tight with light creases and spine, edgewear. Pages tanning but supple.

Occasion of Sin by Robert William Taylor   Monarch Books 389   2nd numbering of this PBO   $30  SOLD to Comical Situations

Sweet Raymond Johnson GGA cover art. I love how he painted that mattress, the seediness of it

Unread, square and glossy with no creases. Has a stamp at top (I believe this was a distributor/remainder mark) some light rubbing and fading from storage.

The Love Camp by John Furlough  Beacon B604F   PBO 1963    $35  SOLD to Comical Situations

Great title and fantastic Al Brule' Headlights/GGA cover art of a woman doing "something" to herself!

Tami by Jesse Lee Carter   Beacon B341      1960     $40  SOLD to Goldust40

Interracial sleaze novel. Sweet backshot GGA is uncredited - looks like early Jack Faragasso style to me. Not mentioned inside but this is actually a reprinting (story, not the cover) of the classic photo cover sleaze digest "Hot Chocolate" from 1952.

Near perfect, unread copy. Super sharp corners, color and gloss. Off-white pages. Tough to beat
