I've got a copy, bought ages ago.  It reprints Weird Horrors 1, Strange Terrors 1, & Authentic Police Cases 8.  Indicia states, "St. John Publishing".

That is a great book! All these giants are scare as “hen’s teeth”!

If Doc let's us know what's in his copy; we can compare!!  I don't think they are "reprints".  Likely return copies that St John reused similar to those Giant Comics Editions.

I'm sure you're correct, and my error in referring to them as reprints.  They are likely "remaindered" returns, stripped of their partial covers, and the interiors used in the giants.

BOY'S RANCH #1-6 1950/1951

There isn't much not to love about this title-- personally, it's my favorite Simon + Kirby

work-- though it was short-lived at 6 issues, it makes you double down your appreciation

for the wacky adventures of the Kid Cowboys-- scooped the entire run from an original owner collection!

GREAT set of books right here!!!! As far as the "personal collection" label, is that a little Godzilla holding that label? If so :applause:

A Fox Annual thats been on my Want List, Found one that was graded poor for missing the first page, I was pretty sure this was not the case as a Fox books often had page one printed on the inside of the cover. So sure enough every remaindered ( covers removed)  in the annual started with page two.

Included in this Annual:   Hoot Gibson 3 with a nice Wood story

                                        Crimes Inc. 12 (1)

                                        Pedro 18 (1) Early Wood Art

                                       Famous Crimes 17

HOOT GIBSON WESTERN ROUND UP NN.jpg

Oh, come on. “No one buys westerns”. Seriously, I have never seen that one before. Good to see you Hap!

I hope he did. He is still reeling over his cool new TOT Annual #1. He had to part with a lot of cool books to get it. I know because I saw them on the dealer’s wall that bought them. But as cool as they were, he made a wise choice. As he said, this was his opportunity. Might be his only chance.

Way back when I was very actively seeking out GA giants and annuals, I saw this one. Over the years, it kept eluding me. Finally landed one.

Interesting contents. Remaindered St John books. In addition to Audrey, there are 2 Kubert adventure stories, Three Stooger (possibly #1), and a bunch of Mopsy which I always look for anyway.

The fact that a coupon is missing from an ad/text page only, made this very affordable.

This is one thick fattie!

I saw that in Brian's box.  I don't think I've ever seen another copy, it must be exceptionally rare.  Glad it ended up with you.

If I may inquire, what was the price for the TOT 1?
