Fawcett/DC dispute 1948 ????

[action1kid]

Yeah, I believe those early Detectives have the most beautiful artwork covers of them all.There is really nothing to compare to the beauty of an early Detective cover.Well.maybe an early Adventure.

[action1kid]

Tim. Do you own Detectives 1.2 and 3? That would be a great accomplishment.

I had #1 TO #38 back in 1999. Sold them all[some on Ebay to help finance my 1st home.]

[Timulty]

Nope, no Detectives but I keep my eyes open for those. I am big fan of Creig Flessel. If luck holds out, I will have him working a commission for me in March.

[action1kid]

Creig Flessels work is stunning on those early Tecs and Adventures.He is my favorite also.

[Timulty]

I am a real big fan of Creig's early New Adventures covers. He is one top illustrator.

[action1kid]

Im partial to his Sandman covers.

[Timulty]

I guess, I am one of those people who enjoy the unusual. The adventure type covers of Flessel really show off his work. I think, he mostly does his Sandman stuff now. He doesn't do cover reproductions. So, my commission from him will be a Sandman. I am going to suggest something unusual though.

Hey, do you two guys need a private room or something?

 

Off to the ship!!

 

BTW, Jon, you need to sell me those books!

I will try to keep you both happy

..and just bought his recreation of 'tec 13 that he did in 1994.

 

One great and funny many, Mr. Flessel.

These legal texts are painful to read, like an instant sleeping pill.

 

Thanks for posting Scott. It was a sure cure for my insomnia.

Truthfully, I found the opinion very interesting.

You'll note that Learned Hand was the presiding judge in both circumstances. Therefore, the holdings are correct.

[esquirecomics]

Here are the pics. By the way Mushroom, I want a crack at these!!!!!

 

 

Tim, where did you get these BTW?

 

And their mine, ALL MINE!!

 

And indeed they are!!! Thanks Mushroom. Sorry Timulty.

 

 

[esquirecomics]

The seller sent me the original ad from Sparkle City, which I think is from the 1980s/early 1990s (?). Wish I knew where all the other exhibit copies were!!!!!

 

[dgillock]

I can't help but wonder how Mark did relative to the 80s/90s Sparkle City prices on those two books...

 

If I bought them back then, would I have made a good investment?

 

Anyway, cool to see them and extra cool to see them with that early solicitation.

[Timulty]

They would probably sell 3-4 times of that price by the way, if slabbed. 2-3 times if not. So plunking down $65 for a Whiz 92 back then would yield about $180 raw and $180-$350 slabbed now.

Also, the grade might be "Old School" grading which means an VF book is more like VF+ to NM-. Whiz Comics 94 Fawcett File Copy is currently on sale at Metropolis for $345 graded at VF/NM.

[esquirecomics]

Someone would have made a very nice profit if they had purchased them. I paid several times those original prices. It was worth it to me to ensure I got them. It wasn't a price that broke my bank or really mattered much, yet was still well within many, many people's price range so I would have had significant competition if they went publicly on sale, i.e., buy them now and move on.

[Timulty]

I will just have to settle for more pedestrian Whiz Comics copies, that's all.

 

Whiz Comics, even when they are bad they still beat the hell out of most GA titles.

[esquirecomics]

Timulty gets MAJOR for locating this copy for me!!!! I owe you one!

 

I have now reunited three of the original exhibits!! Find me more folks!!

[Moondog]

I love good investigative work...and a good story. Congrats, Mark.
