SECOND ITEM:

This thing is in as good condition as you will ever see a Military Newspaper. 

It is a magazine format issue (but put together originally with no staples just a fold like a newspaper) of a 1944 edition newspaper for Wright Air Base (named after the Wright Brothers) in Ohio. That paper bounced back and forth from newspaper format to magazine format and it was printed on better paper stock than most military newspapers. So this is in amazing shape.

So why should comic collectors care? Aside from the interesting history and insight it shows about Army life stateside?

Well, it does feature an example of two of the GIs favorite comic strips - Male Call and the Wolf:

It's also got an editorial railing against the writer/artist of one of those strips:

Oh, and its got a very interesting cover that comic collectors are likely to appreciate:

PRICE $20. There will be a much bigger lot which includes another copy of this issue later. But if you want a single example, this is only chance you'll have on this thread.

 

I'll take this, Alec

Feldstein: The Mad Life and Fantastic Art of Al Feldstein. IDW, 2013 first edition, #287 of 500 signed and numbered copies. Almost new.

There's the deal! Got anymore Milo coming down the pike, or the like?

For the moment, I'm keeping the rest of my Manara ... but there may be a few things that qualify for "the like"

Sin City, The Frank Miller Library, Set 1, volumes 1-4, slipcased. First printing, 2005. "The Hard Goodbye," "A Dame to Kill For," "The Big Fat Kill," and "That Yellow ." Books are almost flawless, with just a tiny nick on the back cover of volume 1 and a tinier one on the front cover of volume 4. More issues with the slipcase, but most are on the bottom and almost invisible on the shelf. The other issue with this weighty set, of course, is postage, which is why I can only discount  to $125. (The second set, by the way, is coming.) SOLD

If you paged through this Rockwell book, you'd understand why his paintings go at auction for $46 million.

Joe Kubert, "Fax from Sarajevo." 1996 first edition, like new. $30

Milo Manara and Alejandro Jodorowsky. "The Borgias," 2014 first printing. Minuscule flaws at edges of the dust jacket, but the book is like new. SOLD to ThothAmon

What a deal ... 

Asterios Polyp. David Mazzucchelli, 2009 first edition. Like new $35
