rtsunlimited Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Happy New Year everyone! I purchased a small Frazetta collection recently that included a bunch of novels like these: Anyone know how to price these things? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Years ago I had tried unsuccessfully to track down a copy of this one. Not for the Terry story, but for the S&K Boy Explorers story: "The Isle Where Women Rule!" Found this copy for less than $100 and scooped it up.

The trouble is, until you get it out of it's plastic tomb you will never get to see that cool S&K story and you have just blown a Benjamin...

Robot Man Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 On line is is OK I guess but there is still nothing like turning pages, the feel of the paper, the way the ink absorbs into the paper and of course, the smell of a vintage comic...

I've never seen an explanation for why it was so short-lived. Too bad, really, because they never had a chance to get rolling on Boy Explorers and Stuntman.

I'm not sure where I read it...... maybe in Simon's Autobiography "The Comic Book Makers"..... but I believe it was attributed to poor (...if any) product display..... by that time the market was glutted and there just wasn't room on the rack for everything published..... I'd also heard that as an incentive, some publishers allowed the distributors to keep the returns for free in exchange for guaranteed shelf presence....

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Poor sales may well have been the problem, at least in the sense that strong sales would presumably have preserved the series. But they axed Boy Explorers after only a single issue and Stuntman after only two. Makes me think that maybe there was a change in editorial direction or friction between S&K and Harvey management, or something else beyond weak sales.
