Simply incredible group! Nicely done, Billy! You inspired me to post a group shot of my own in the MLJ thread.

[Straw-Man]

A vision of heaven on Earth!

(well, heaven on the floor anyway... but my point still holds! )

I don't have a good reason for slabbing this - I knew of the CT, tape, and seal and should have known of the trimming.  This is the book I bought from Danny Dupcak - ordered from and ad in The Buyer's Guide back in the 70s when he ran Fantasia Comics (I think that is the way it was spelled).  I saw the restoration when I got it (sans the trimming) and tried my darndest to return - he never answered the phone or returned calls (and remember long distance calling wasn't cheap then), I wrote a couple of letters to no obvious avail.  So it sat in my collection until I put in a group I subbed.  Love the cover but it is PLOD fodder with the trimming.  But I still love it as a link to the old mail ordering times of comics.  Sight unseen, checks sent through snail mail, then waiting and hoping you got the books.

Jeff, your collection is BANANAS! Just one cool book after another. I'm always amazed!

 You are being kind - I know we both eclectic titles and your collection puts mine to shame.

Hey, still today worth a lot more than you paid that charlatan for it. Things have a way of catching up if you hold things long enough.

Yeah true. He is still operating, isn't he?  Shame he did/does pollute the hobby.

I just realized somehow I did not share this here, where it belongs. 

I’ve bought a LOT of great books the last 3 years but only a handful I actually sit and stare at like this one. Very special thanks to the good man who let me steward this book for a while.

Ducpak  - what a scourge on the hobby. I kept one book (Amazing Mystery Funnies 2/7) that I obtained from him as a reminder to never deal with such slime again.

Still, any copy of Mystery Men 4 =

I haven't seen hide nor hair of his auctions in years, and they're easy enough to spot. I think he plies his "trade" elsewhere these days, on other auction sites.
