I recently obtained a few issues of Creepy and Vampirella from ebay. They are scanned and displayed in the "This week in your magazine collection" thread. As I scanned them and checked interior pages, I was reminded again of how most of the artwork is so absolutely gorgeous in these stories. In particular, I was checking out Vampi #66 and ran across a story that I had not remembered. It is interesting as it kind of hits home on some level for us collectors. It is an example of excessive obsession with a medium. The story is "Picture Complete" by Bruce Jones and art by Gonzalo Mayo. I include it below. Enjoy!

I was "admiring" his crazy high prices just this morning. "Admiring" his vast sense of cluelessness.

And these are the Vampirella mags.

I got another bunch of Creepy and Vampirella mags. Seemed to be a pretty good chance at getting more issues for a cheap price that I don't really need because I can't help myself. I am a hoarder!!! Here are the Creepy mags that I got.

That is what I thought. I will try to put up scans of them up in the magazine collection thread later.

Got the mags. Creepy issues #9, 10, 11, 28, 81, 88, 89, 112, 123, 124, 125, 132, Annual 1971. Vampirella issues #50, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 66, 90, 92, 93, 94 and 100. Overall, I think I did ok as most are in FN to FN/VF shape. I am not the greatest grader so I might be a bit on the optimistic side, The cover gloss is pretty good showing very minor wear. Pages are pretty much all Off-White. All are complete without any writing, tears or missing coupons. A small crease or bend here and there. I averaged a little over $6 per copy. I have a complete set of Vampirella and Creepy but I couldn't resist getting these. Yes, I am a hoarder.

at 30% off.

I happen to have stuck my neck out with this guy and will be receiving a number of Vamps and Creepy from him soon. Will post the results concerning the conditions.

Great books from a great sale!!

Beautiful book. GLWTS!!

Outstanding! Congrats!!

Some decent looking Vampirellas as a set of 13.

Just got this one in today! Just need 5 more issues to complete the set of 15.

Saw that Hughes variant and it is very pricey. Not too naughty but nice cover. I prefer Dave's.
