PERFECT FOR STAN LEE SIG SERIES!!

 

Description:

Secrets Behind the Comics by Stan Lee (1947) was published by Famous Enterprises Inc. Written by Stan Lee with illustrations by Ken Bald. This book was published after Stan Lee wrote an article for Writer's Digest on the same subject matter. Though not the first book of its kind, Secrets Behind the Comics was a wonderful source of material to help inspiring young writers and artists to break into the comic book industry and has been reprinted and updated several times. Features a profile on Syd Shores and his creation the Blonde Phantom. It also includes profiles on Mike Sekowsky, Basil Wolverton, Al Jaffee and Martin Goodman. One of the gems of this book is a detailed description of how Captain America was created. 100 pages, B&W, card-stock paper, 5.5-in. x 8.5-in.

 

There is a string on the CGC case in the pic -- that's not a crack.

This is a unique bit of comics history that you don't see that often. There are very little sales data on GPA or elsewhere, but crappy copies have sold at auction and online for $200-$400. I've got this priced to sell.

 

Great candidate for Stan Lee sig series!!

Have you contacted the seller lately?  He is active and sells his books in Copper/Modern and Mixed threads. I don't think that he is aware of this. @Sharkey

Looks like the Watcher did me the favour of already checking, and he said it was sold a long time ago. So think this thread is good to officially be closed haha.. again, apologies for the resurrection peeps!

Thanks. I don't know why Sharky allowed this old thread going on while we have goofed up around but it is still hilarious here.
