Does your dad want 9 CGC copies?

 

Yes - SOLD!

 

I notice that 2 of those aren't in the Guide...is that not unusual for promos?

Not at all unusual. Most promo books are not listed. Simply too many exist.

I've posted this before, in the "favorite Archie covers" thread but it really belongs here. Its Archie #47 with a new cover. The inside of the fc functions as a program, the inside of the bc & the bc are like the front, Archie characters saying join us..

 

[esquirecomics]

1951 book.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Not a full comic but an interesting piece of history, picked this up from from the Dentist.

[esquirecomics]

Very cool!

I hope it is OK to post a Shadow pulp giveaway, with the Shadow being the direct predecessor of The Batman.

 

The image on the left is a high grade copy of a 1933 Shadow pulp entitled "Murder Trail". The image on the right is the black and white promotional giveaway of "Murder Trail", which was distributed as a promotional item to newsstands in 1933, by Street & Smith.

Nice stuff, those pulp covers are really works of art. Those artists were really head and shoulders above the talent level that we see in comics today.

Here's a couple I've posted elsewhere...

Posted this in General awhile ago, but worth another look.

 

[juggernaut]

Picked up today!! I love the slick cover. I wish that dent near the "Y" wasn't there!

 

Tracy - Service Gas Station Giveaway

 

[Ivanko]

Does this count for this section

 

Just got this back from grading. I actually sent in the UPC's myself in 1987 to get it!

It may not be Gold, but it sure is oddball.

 

 

Doctor Octopus gets berated by a dentist (who apparently doesn't take note of the extra arms as long as Ock pays in cash) -- "Not only have you neglected your teeth for years, but you obviously eat lots of sugary snacks!"

I suspect it's mostly Hostess Twinkies. That golden cake....

 

Peter Parker, on the other hand, tells the dentist that he thanks Aunt May because "she always had me brush regularly with a FLUORIDE TOOTHPASTE accepted by the American Dental Association!" (Sounds like a Commie plot to me.) As a reward, he gets to see Ock's X-rays.

 

Can anyone ID the artist? 1982, signed R/S on the front cover.

Picked up some additional items in the last few weeks. Finally getting around to posting them.

 

A nice Wheaties mini-book of Captain Marvel.

 

 

From the personal collection of Malcom Ater:

 

 

One of the early Cathetical Guild books. Always a lot competition to buy this one.

Anyone know much about a set of promotional comics either called or given away with something called 'Cinema Comics Herald. B. W Sangor may have been the publisher.

I guess the lack of replies might suggest they are fairly obscure?
