Jayman Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Your bargain hunting skills are Thanks. Plucked this one out of the same box about 5 books later. Is it wrong to have only paid $30 for it? Have to love Frazetta Ghost Riders... And a cover with Fraz drawn into the action to boot, too cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearmint Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Bought this a couple of weeks ago from 143ksk,picked it up today in Chicago. Love that cover. I've been eyeing Metro's copy for month's now, but I just can't justify paying their asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquirecomics Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Anyone else have this 1938 book? I picked it up at Phila-Wizard from Terry's Comics (one of my favorite dealers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquirecomics Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I have RedFury to thank for this issue. When I saw it at Phila-Wizard, I just had to have it. I was a pole vaulter from 7th grade to sophomore year of college. I was jumping over 12 feet during high school, but unfortunately (after many breaks and injuries during HS) seriously injured myself and had my "career" cut short during college (including a fractured spine and crushed heels that put me on crutches for weeks). If I didn't think I would kill myself by taking even a single jump, I would still be vaulting today. The "high" that came with this sport was unbelievable.

Scrooge Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I was able to find one book high on my want list at Chicago. Kudos to Bruno for telling me at which booth to find one That booth turned out to be Boyd's (bcc). Nothing better than to spend $$$ with board members. Thanks Boyd (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Anyone else have this 1938 book? I picked it up at Phila-Wizard from Terry's Comics (one of my favorite dealers). I sure don't have it -- and it's an honorary element cover book! How big is it? Looks quite small, from the size of the staples. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inaflash Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 While bored and digging though some half price silver/bronze boxes at the con, I found this jammed between a bunch of mid-grade Marvel Two-In-Ones. The last 6.5/7.0 went for $500+ on Heritage, so paying $60 for this copy left me feeling almost dirty! Glad Parker outbid me on the last one! Getting that for $60 shouldn't make you feel dirty. You should be rolling around in the mud squeeling in delight. Nice book! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
