Theagenes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Nice pick ups! Here's my Clink win. I've been waiting for a copy that doesn't have the cover tanning problem that seems to be common with this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatcher Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Nice pick ups! Here's my Clink win. I've been waiting for a copy that doesn't have the cover tanning problem that seems to be common with this issue. Man, that presents much nicer than a 7.5. Beautiful book Angelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Here's my Clink win. I've been waiting for a copy that doesn't have the cover tanning problem that seems to be common with this issue. So true - those Buck Rogers remind me of the early Heroics...so difficult to find in clean shape. And with such great (o/w to white) pages, too! Well done, sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true - those Buck Rogers remind me of the early Heroics...so difficult to find in clean shape. And with such great (o/w to white) pages, too! Well done, sir Thanks! Yeah, Famous Funnies/Eastern must have been hurting due to war rationing and paper shortages. This book has the tanning problem with the cover, single staple, fewer pages and -- something that really freaked me out the first time I saw it -- inset "half-wrap" pages that are glued to adjacent full wraps at the inner margin. It's amazing that any of these survived in nice shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Nice! I had no idea Buck ever dealt with vampires. Do you know if there is a story to match the cover? There may be, but it's not in this issue. I have a beater reading copy and the story is a pretty good read - Buck and a hottie alien chick (hey where's Wilma? ) crashes on a planet called Sargasso that's made up of countless wrecked spaceships. Fun story, but no bat-winged vampire creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird Paper Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Found this in the endless comic box yesterday. It's a late 50s (not technically golden age, but still... ) Australian issue of Catman. I believe the story is unique to this title and not a US reprint (the costume certainly isn't the same) The covers are newsprint and the interior is black-and-white. The Grand Comics Database lists the Phantom comics by the same publisher, but not the others. I've got a similar issue of The Shadow somewhere, too.

Silver Surfer Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Very cool cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 One of my favorite covers. I saw the book and passed because of the grade and have been kicking myself ever since. Great pick up. Thanks...it wasn't prominent in the listing, and the scan/picture made it appear worse than it was as all the various bends/tears were folded back, etc.,. Next time...the hidden Suspense 3!! hello all.. there is a restored 7.0 in the July Heritage auction... rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't always get too excited by these international editions because the cover art is often lame -- that one most definitely is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
