Dagwood Splits the Atom?

[Doohickamabob]

How common is the "Dagwood Splits the Atom" promotional comic, and is it a fun read? I know the guide value is low, but I might have the chance to get a copy owned by a friend of Joe Musial, and that was signed by Lt. General Leslie Adams. Anyway just curious what this comic is like and if it is worth pursuing (what it might be worth with the signature -- if that even affects value), etc.

The Harvey warehouse books that Geppi sold about 18 years ago had a number of undistributed copies of DStA (with the envelopes). Even before that, it was not uncommon.

I have a copy, with the envelope. It is a fun read with good illustrations. If you can get it cheaply, then go for it.

Thanks. I thought it might be a warehouse find, so I'll price accordingly.

Huh. That's what the guy said in email. Must be confused. Will let you know how this plays out (or "if" it plays out).

With 500 copies in just one box, there may be thousands of around in warehouses still. Diamond has sold copies of this nonstop on eBay for several years now, at prices ranging from 9.99 to around 40 bucks. Still a nice item with the original envelope. And signed? (thumbs u

 

There's another version, a special issue of Topix. (scans from comics.org)
