ft88 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Here's issue 62 one of the better conditioned copies and a semi key with S&K story. There are about 20 that look like this the rest are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 And a phenominal torture cover not even broken out in guide. Palookas deservedly get no respect, and they are pretty much short bus material. But come on, - this is a fantastic cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Not quite Detectives and more in line with the Funny Stuff Collection. How many have seen a full run (missing issue 2 from vol 1 and issue 117) of Joe Palooka. Some of the issues in the middle are very high grade. The Adventure line and the Commie torture covers are sweet. I threw in some Big Shot to round out the pic. Furthest one on the right is the Hitler Tojo mask cover You could fill a fleet of short buses with those. I kid! I kid! I have not seen the whole series together like that. What originally got you interested in Joe Palooka? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicdonna Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Not the best photo, but here are a handful of my best GA's... Very nice books. Durden08 has been looking for an Action #13 forever. You don't see that issue very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What originally got you interested in Joe Palooka? Sorry to disappoint but I don't actually collect JP. I bought a collection from an old timer I met at church. He had this, a full run of Tracy (regular, only a few Features and FC's) and a spotty run on Lone Rangers. It was a sweet collection. He was really into it in the 80's and quite of few of the (nicer) books are from Sparkle City. His main thing was Tracy though, I'll post those in a bit. The best part of the Tracy run is he had a comic box designed for those made of wood and felt interior. Unreal. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 the Commie torture covers are sweet. The one on the left is the JP for March 1952. if for sale. Let me know Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 The Tracy collection. Here are the Dells 1-24 and some random FC and Feature books on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Here are the Harvey's 25-145 and 4 giveaways. Missing issue 90. As I went through them from issues 40-120 about half are in incredible condition. The other item is that there are some pretty gruesome covers. Bullets through heads, blood coming out the ear, people on fire. Pre code of course. Pretty much every issue has somebody getting b1tch slapped or shot at.
