Picked up two books that were really hard to find in grade with decent centering (obviously neither one is perfect, but I'm trying not to be a complete psycho about it).

Are you going to put these up for sale, or are they going into your collection? I'm in the market for a mid-grade copy of ASM #2.

I've never seen this cover before but I'm honestly a bit surprised that superheroes conducting a seance was considered OK in those days.  Having seen people protesting Harry Potter movies decades later, I would have thought such an explicit occult reference might be too much especially for a conservative company like DC.

[shiverbones]

Thankfully they went for it and made such a beautiful cover. 😊

inside it is not quite a traditional seance, but the elements are there

Dc was conservative in the early 60s, but by the mid 60’s was starting to introduce more supernatural themes, and by the late 60s really pushed supernatural and horror themes. By 1973/ 1974 they were actually putting some disturbing ideas and outright violence in their mystery line with previously banned imagery like severed heads, dismemberment and hangings.

I think that’s my favorite Yellow Claw cover in the short run. Issue #1 comes in second to it. Everett ruled the Atlas age! 

Plus you got some great Kirby interior art to boot!

Yep. For me this was a great example of not paying attention to the number but how the book presents. I’ve seen copies with bigger numbers with less appeal. With their movie out and all I couldn’t ignore the Avengers right now...

Nice book; I agree completely. Already posted these but i think they look great for the grade, plus I grabbed the Avengers for about $65 under GPA.

3 is my favorite single digit Avengers to read. Great score, W180!

I tried to buy something this week, but my eBay BIN got refunded. I did replace my Strange Tales 115.

Super low grade Avengers #2 today but I couldn't leave it at the LCS for the $44 they wanted.   And a mid grade FF #40, hard for me to leave any silver FF behind when there too cheap.

I got some new books from a variety of sources.

Hawkman #23, Hawkman #24, Hawkman #26, Showcase #55 CGC 8.0 from MyComicShop.com.

Showcase #56 from Austin, aka  @AustinReece_GRRC of Reece's Rare Comics.

Showcase #17 CGC 3.5 from Rick, aka @Ricksneatstuff .

This puts me seven books from a complete run of Hawkman. I'm missing Hawkman #21 and #25, along with Mystery in Space #87 - #91. I also wanted to grab Showcase #17, a minor DC Key, at a reasonable price. And I'm a sucker for these Murphy Anderson try-out books; now I just have to get nice copies of Brave and the Bold #61 - #62.
