Robot Man

Action # 1 is about as common to CC as Hulk 181.

Amazing what eventually happed to Bob Wood. One of so many strange stories in the history of comics creators…

Adam is probably the best seller on EBay. He gets some astounding results. And not every collector goes the big auction house buying route. The perception is you might have a better chance of getting “lucky” on the Bay.

Picked this up at the flea market yesterday. It is a free monthly magazine with the goings on in the local antique world. Also auction results nationally on a variety of antiques. The cover just screamed out at me. I just had to know. Interesting article but what was of biggest interest to me was the full page article on PCH books. I have never heard of this collector or this auction house. Apparently, this auction happened beginning of Jan. Frankly, I never like seeing articles like this in the hands of “civilians”. Gives everyone the wrong idea. Sure makes it tougher on us flea market scroungers… Anybody here ever visit this library? Looks like the Sistine Chapel of comics.

I know “nobody cares about these” but when I run into them in this shape for a couple of bucks, I just can’t leave them…

Me neither. Just liked the cover and price. How often does one find cool magazines this old? The lady had a bunch of 1930’s movie mags as well. All photo covers of pretty much unknown stars. Thought about them but I just didn’t know what I would do with them.

Now that’s quite the pickup! Congrats!

Flea market pickup today. Not really a pulp but mostly fiction stories. The cover and age just made me grab it.

Got this one in today. Down to 3 left. Buy them when you find them. Overstreet lists as scarce and I concur. Can’t remember seeing a copy for sale in many years. Maybe in one of the big auction companies, but I rarely look there. Someone found a few coverless ones that got snatched up quick. This is the type of book I go to conventions for but never see. And what a cover. Dare I say “classic”? I know Feldstein did very few romance covers. But some incredible ones. I won’t post in the Romance thread as I don’t want to make all those Atlas covers look bad…

Got that one for Christmas when I was a kid. Was my pride and joy. Rode it to bits along with my Sting Ray Lemon Peeler bike...

Yeah, I got him to sign at at the Hot Rod Hootenanny at the Moon Records parking lot show. My buddy got an old toilet seat painted with a Rat Fink airbrushed treatment.

These are all Marx Nutty Mads. The second row are the scarcer third series.

Actually the Tony Hawk and 1970's era boards are in the most demand out here.

Only one I've ever seen.

Here a a few mostly non model related "monster driving car" items in my collection...

Not a PB but this is a classic subtile comic cover...

I plan to attend although haven’t bought my ticket yet. I agree about updating their website. I will go either way but sure would like to know what dealers will be attending. You know, they know by now. Just added incentive for those on the fence. WonderCon was just as bad. No list until a week or so before the show. A couple years ago, Torpedo pulled the plug on their show. They said it was a “schedule conflict” but I suspect it might have been due to lack of pre show ticket purchases. I believe a lot of folks were waiting to see the dealer lineup. It is, primarily a vintage comic buying show. I would sure like to give my money to CGC at the show for some grading as well! So, that being said, I will put my money where my mouth is and buy my ticket this weekend.

I looked like a member of the Manson family in my early 20’s… Here I am just a few years earlier with my beloved gold top.
