Sqeggs Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 No, it's regular comic book pulp stock used for the interior pages of GA books. In hand, it's a little darker than the scan of the front page and a little lighter than the scan of the back page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 That Judge Murphy had an interesting job. Getting paid for sitting around all day reading comics -- and only the most "interesting" pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look again; one of those women is Lois Lane, who is undoubtedly undercover to gather material for a biting expose to run in the Daily Planet.

The other one is a hypocrite who, after harassing the news vendor, went home and pored over her stash of Rudolph Valentino nude bondage photos.

Mark 1 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm back in the Golden Age club. I used to own several GA books when I was younger but sadly sold them. I've been working on my SA books for the past several years and decided to jump in with a book i've loved since I was 7 years old. I'm still looking to upgrade and might even restore this copy (opinions?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Cool giveaway that I hadn't seen before. What a cool give away. Never heard of it. Anybody ever see a piece of original art with that approval stamp on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still looking to upgrade and might even restore this copy (opinions?) Great book. One of my favorite GA covers. I would lean toward locating a higher grade copy rather than restoring this one. Restoration is both expensive and very time consuming. Typically, you would not get back your expenses if you were to decide to sell the book after restoration.

It's not an easy book to find in any condition, so a low grade unrestored will do better in the long run if you have to sell it. Also, it presents a lot better than most 1.5s I've seen.

adamstrange Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Cool giveaway that I hadn't seen before. What a cool give away. Never heard of it. Anybody ever see a piece of original art with that approval stamp on it? I have some pages with it. It's fairly common, often on the back of the page.

Mark 1 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks guys. I think the general concensus is to not restore it. I'm just concerned that tape is going to eat away at the book eventually but you are right. It's best to leave it alone. I'm a happy camper with it.
