A sales thread for Roshni - A MESSAGE OF THANKS FROM KOLKATA
3 3

122 posts in this topic

Thanks so much to everyone for posting such wonderful material so generously.

 

We seem to be coming to a natural end, and if nothing else sells rest assured that the funds raised here bring the final target within reach.

 

I may have a final trawl through some boxes over the weekend to see if I can find any tempters, just to close the gap on our overall target a little more.

 

And I will discount my unsold lots.

 

When the dust has settled, I will provide you with a summary of what we've achieved, which is quite astonishing!

A few more to list before we wind this up.

 

I used to collect ACG quite avidly, now all I am left with is this nice little cluster of favorite covers and/or stories.

 

A couple of these are very scarce indeed. Asking only $70 shipped anywhere in the world.

 

AITU #73 FVF Classic cover!

AITU #73 GD (has the look of a high grade book but lower staple is detached, there is browning to all edges, and I think it is 'on the turn') My favorite ACG cover - feel free to laugh, and mock!

FORBIDDEN WORLDS #84 FN - Wait - this is my favorite ACG cover!

AITU #120 FN - Read this when I was a kid. Features a femme fatale from the earth's core who is slain by an ice cream - but then, she is only 6 inches tall!

FORBIDDEN WORLDS #145 VG-ish. Some creasing to front cover. The Timeless Tribe is such an evocative and epic love-for-an-alien tragedy that for many years I assumed it must be a reprint from ACG's early days. In he end I realized that even with it's last breath, ACG was still creating stories with the same passion as before.

How about some top quality reading for a cold winter's night?

 

Could we say $100 shipped? It's a nice round figure, and gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside that $99 just doesn't touch!

 

Break out the egg nog!

 

Pick of the litter is Sub-mariner #57 in VFNM

Then we have the Typhoid Mary saga from Daredevil's classic period - #254, #255, #256, #259, #260, #261, #297 NM or thereabouts. Evil, evil, evil! Nice, nice, nice! (Hic - darn that egg nog)

 

20161210_093752_zpskgjcmqor.jpg

 

 

Timewarp #1 - #5 in mid-grade - more great Kaluta covers and some entertaining sc fi stories!

 

20161210_093756_zpsjgghjqlj.jpg

 

 

The semi-classic and poetic Children of Doom in mid-grade. 'Tell me again how the world ended, daddy.' 'Well see honey, there was this election in the United States and...'

 

20161210_093740_zpsunbbkqkr.jpg

 

 

And finally, DC's facsimile edition of the rare Love Stories giant in NM.

Complete set of I Vampire from House of Mystery in uniform NM condition. 24 issues between #290 and #319. Much better written than Marv Wolfman's Dracula, in my humble opinion! Asking $100, shipped anywhere in the world.
