Found some unusual items....

I recently bought some items at a recent Estate sale from a collector. Can anyone tell what they are and if they have any value?

The first seems to be a British reprint of FANTASTIC FOUR comics. What is cool is that the art is in black and white so you can see the Kirby art in all its glory. It is smaller than a normal comic though. Anyone know anything about this?

Here is another item I had never seen before. A smaller pocket version of Spiderman comics.

I did find this as well. I did some research and it seems to be the 1st appearance (depending on who you ask) of HARLEY QUINN. Is this true? Also seems to be autographed but I can't tell who. Any info in this item? I only paid $25 for it so I wanted to see if I paid too much.

$25 is a good price for that.  seems to sell for a chunk more. who is the autograph?

It's Kevin Conroy. The voice of the Batman character on the cartoon.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I should have known. Been years since I saw the show.

I don't see any recent sales.  The book/set tape is up for consignment at Mycomicshop for $300, although I see some in other places in the $100s in varying condition.

 

My guess is that if you confirmed the signature and put it up for $99.99 at auction with a good description you would do pretty well.

Thanks! I may keep it for awhile though. I had never seen one until now. Seems hard to find apparently complete.

The signature is surely authentic.  His K  and C are very distinct, and it matches this one to a T.  The value is in the fact that this is the first "print" appearance of Harley Quinn.

Marvel UK published a line of Pocket Book reprints during Dez Skinn's tenure in the early 80s.

Whose sig is it? That's what I'd want to confirm. Authenticity is impossible to prove, but a forgery seems awfully unlikely. Anyway, the sig not a problem as it is on the plastic, not the book

What about the coloring book ? I thought that was the alleged 1st App.

O definitely not. The coloring book was distributed with Mask of the Phantasm and is dated December 1993, the movies release date was December 25th 1993 (so Christmas day).  Almost got Im was published in August of 1993, so predates the coloring book by about 3 months.

Kevin Conroy, the Batman voice actor from the TV show (and also, the voice of Batman on the tape that comes with the book). Super nice guy, and amazing voice actor.

And for me (and many others, I suspect), the One True Batman.
