Comics, Pulps, and Paperbacks: Why such a discrepancy in values? 25 25

[porcupine48]

These are more bronze age era I guess,but I know there's some sci-fi fans that may appreciate my finds today for a twoonie(2$) at a yard sale walking the dog.

No spectacular covers,but I'm pleased and have some reading for a bit.

Raises an interesting point - since there is only one paperbacks thread on the boards - which happens to be on the Golden Age forum - is it ok to talk about 60's and up paperbacks here?

I don't think anyone would complain if you think they're of interest. I think there's already been quite a few 60's books posted here

I went mildly after a couple books I wanted tonight and was crushed... Auction results have been strong of late on classic PB's.

Lesson... don't go mildly if you actually want to win. Go Strong! LOL

Glad I kept some nice stuff like this Falcon... When I sold off my collection I kept a lot of the tough JD stuff because I knew I would never see it again if the word ever got out. I love Girls Out Of Hell for so many reasons...

This Falcon is one of those rare books books where the back cover is almost as cool as the front... just because it cites "Reform School Girls" ...

oops - forgot that this one is a Dr Fell as well, not noted on front cov but item 4 of mapback 'key' provides evidence...

A few recent arrivals, and one U.K. book that I think I have not posted.  Pat C. has a wide (and impressive) selection of these books. Cataclysm was published in 1951 under the name Vargo Slatten, which is a pen name for John Russell Fearn.

Colours on that are outstanding!And I think the stamp goes great on the moon with the purple ink fitting in so nicely.

Excellent copy. Not only does that book appear to be unread but it also looks to have been seldom handled.

Thanks! ... it's a stunner in hand... happy to share it with appreciative people... we may not be Legion but  we're a Platoon at the least!
