I don't own any Dell / Gold Key books but I love the cover designs.  The artwork is very sophisticated, and the design choices around the text further enhance the elevated sensibility.  Magnus, Robot Fighter #1 is another great example of a book whose cover really sells it.  I would absolutely have bought these books off the rack had I been a kid at the time.

The Outer Limits #1 was a surprise to me as it has 32 pages and no ads. Calling it a 4.0.

Then I wanted a couple of beaters. Books that you can read but you won't get too concerned if your dog farts on them. (Hopefully not while you're reading). The Batman 118 has a detached cover and a detached centerfold. A decent copy of this will set you back over $100, so this will do me just fine. Maybe a 1.0 to 1.5. The Batman 124 is just heavily creased; obviously folded up into a back pocket decades ago. Calling it a 2.0. 2nd appearance of The Signalman!!

I have always loved this cover as a kid and have wanted a cleaner copy than a beater from when I was about 12 so I thought why not grab it. Every time I look at it now it triggers a great time in my youth when my brother and I first started collecting together.

Just looking through a box of archies I paid no more than $1 each for an found this...

I guess not that exciting. I looked at asking prices rather than competed sales. Still, a book I have actually bid on recently not realizing I already owned it!

These showed up today

Got this with ebay bucks so there wasn't any cash out of pocket. The highest I would go on this is a 4.0, but it may actually be closer to a 3.5 or 3.0. Still, a fun book to land.

Just picked this up from my LCS.  Love the distributor's mark.

Albert Dorne died in 1965. I wonder if they kept running that ad past his death?
