One's a ped, but the other one seems the better copy judging from the front cover. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelholt Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 My only win from Heritage November auction. I have always like The short Lana run and 3 is probably my favorite cover. I really like the bright variety of colors. Hard to believe this 6.0 is the highest graded, but here it is.

Popular Post kelholt Posted December 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2018 Received this one earlier in the week. I missed out in the last HA auction on the Mile high and the D copy of this book offered then, both representing highest and second highest graded respectively. I was thrilled when Mr. Lady Luck has this beauty for sale in the bst. I have always loved this tough black cover. The composition is so cool with the facial expressions to the depth of the girl line in the background. In hand, the colors are just brilliant.

Tazmaster83 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I noticed a Kathy 2 vg raw went for nearly $200 on eBay last night. Are these good girl comics, especially from Standard, extremely scarce? I noticed very few in the census. Are we going to continue to see these prices keep trending up to record prices? No one has to tell me what has happened to precode horror. I’m just wondering if this genre of good girl comics will keep pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has to tell me what has happened to precode horror. I’m just wondering if this genre of good girl comics will keep pace. The short answer I think is that no one knows. The longer answer is that usually when a genre (in this case, maybe a sub-genre) takes off, there are usually only a relatively few people driving up prices. After they've gotten copies, then the market can cool down fast, particularly in mid-grade and below. Some of the more obscure '50s teen humor and GGA books probably fall into this category. Rising prices usually attract more copies to market and dealers begin to find it worth their while to have them in stock. If once that happens, prices are still rising, then the genre has legs (such an appropriate line for GGA books!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazmaster83 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I’m keeping an eye out for Kathy 1 (6.0) on the Heritage auction in February, I believe. This will be the first one sold at auction, raw or graded. This should tell us how important the first one up will be. Normally we see record prices on these somewhat obscure titles that are brought up for the first time. BTW, congratulations on that Patsy Walker. Really nice cover!

The original art for that cover was sold on ebay about 10 to 15 years ago although I don't recall what it sold for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazmaster83 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I understand having Schomburg as the artist carries some weight. I think what carries a lot of weight is having the first issue of a title with the added importance of it being the only graded copy as well. Good girl comics, whether it is issue 1 or something else, sets record amounts when the only graded copy comes out to the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite a jump. #41 is the last issue that contains Millie. #42, the final issue, has a great DeCarlo cover with Millie and Chili but no Millie story inside. It's also the first cover to feature Millie's rival Chili. I found the link and it still worked:Joker #41 2017 Sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
