sacentaur Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 a beat up little champ on my want-list just popped up on ebay--in the box it goes. lemme tell ya', these books are not easy to find. espeially the later ones with the sidebars---some never come up for sale. Yup, that's a toughie all right. Does the interior remind you of a Quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecollectron Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I haven't posted any scans for awhile. I bought this book late last year. Bookends: That's a nice #87! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Here's a couple of books that arrived today: My first glance at the boards in ages. When does summer vacation start? Is the 16-page surprise that the first four wraps are text stories and ads printed on glossy paper with sepia ink? I just got a Crime Does Not Pay 45 (sorry, no scan, no working scanner, and at the moment no office to put a scanner in) and was surprised myself.

I just got a Crime Does Not Pay 45 (sorry, no scan, no working scanner, and at the moment no office to put a scanner in) and was surprised myself. Jack This scan was the first interior page of issue 49 which had 12 pages of ads, 1 letter page and 2 pages of text. Art by Tuska and additional features by Palais and Alderman filled out the issue. Pretty good stuff but a little bloody and gruesome. I imagine the content was similar in issue 44. Welcome back Jack, I spent my summer on the golf course cause I had no classes to teach. You must have been stuck doing research and writing grants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Another Exciting comics - I think I picked this up recently too. The airbrushed Schomburgs are great. I wish he had made a few of those for people who wanted recreations. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have an additional 13 or 14 pages of True Crime text. I guess the idea didn't work since they switched back by issue 49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Jack, The 16 page surprise looks to be a bunch of extra "True Crime" text stories in the middle of the book, printed on regular newsprint. EDIT: BB-Gun beat me to it.

selegue Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 ... and moving his office and presentations away ... and looking for my books I might have my FC run completed before we complete this trade The books may be crumbled to dust by the time I find them! Jmg's too. But the good news is that the furniture is supposed to go back into my renovated office Tuesday (only a week late, which isn't too bad) and my hope is to sort everything as I move it back in. I'll probably be able to throw out or recycle up to half of it. Don't be a stranger Jack, we need your brand of humor around here Humor?

BB-Gun is quick on the draw! Interesting that the format of the bonus changed and only lasted 5 or 6 issues. Was 49 the last "bonus" or the first without? They must have been experimenting. The extra pages of 45 have a lot of ads not aimed at children. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquirecomics Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Someone posted either this or a similar one a few months ago somewhere on the boards. It is actually a comic format inside. How fitting that I have a "classified" comic book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can't do much better for an image due to the book's enormous size. I had to scan it in two parts and join them in photoshop. Some great Kirby art in there.
