*paull* Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) I've been looking to have a copy of this book in low grade for about ten years now and I'm thrilled to find this one. I had an opportunity to buy one in similar condition about 8 months ago, shuffled my feet, and missed out on it. I kicked myself and realized that when something comes along that you want, sometimes you just have to jump in... don't think too much. This copy is complete with no pieces missing, but has a complete spine split... the front and back cover are separate pieces. Not a problem for me... I wouldn't be able to afford a VG copy of this book anyway. The reason I've always been interested in this book is how the main villian is repurposed from his look and purpose in his early appearances and is now a pre-code horror spook who no longer wears Nazi uniforms.

rjpb Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Bravo The Cap - Red Skull story is a classic - with a definite horror angle. How much was it if we may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Just back from CGC. Was it really necessary to note the puzzle filled in with pencil, no wonder its tempting to go in and erase it before submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I bought these as part of a Disney collection 1-88 that I've shown in other threads. These three were 3 of 4 that graded 8.0 or better. The gentleman who bought them collected them in the 60's and he recently passed away. It was interesting that his notes on the books had questions about Carl Barks and other things that must have been tough to learn back in those days. The prices he paid were pretty interesting as well as you can imagine. Most of the books were VG to F but these really stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Another cursive P, D, or L in pencil, these have to come from a similar collection or its a distribution notation of some sort. Nice book by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheosis Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Picked this one up from Metropolis. It was about 40% of the cost of the other copy they have in the same grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
