Star Spangled War Stories 44 Salida Copy:  This is a first for me in that I have never before offered a Salida for sale.  The books from that collection were stored sealed in a Colorado mountain cabin, producing the freshest 50s comics I have ever seen.  How fresh?  A friend of mine was fanatical about white pages, owning comics coming from the best pedigrees.  After seeing the Salidas he said, "There's white.  There's snow white.  And there's gut-wrenching Salida white."

I occasionally have guests visit to view my collection and talk comics and, in every case, they have been shocked by the colors, pages, gloss and fresh smell of these copies.  When I first saw them in the 90s I actually opened them to the indicia to make sure they weren't recent reprints. 

These books rarely come on the market as they are in the hands of "black hole" collectors who purchased them when they were first offered back in 1994. Salidas were all read by their owner prior to the sealing of the cabin so they generally have a little more wear than other pedigrees.  This copy is among the best structurally I've seen from the collection and has the mind-boggling colors and page.  Census:  1 in 9.4.  This NM white is $1800.

Marvel Tales 104:  Heath cover featuring an amply endowed female and a killer interior from two of my favorite artists:  Bill Everett and Basil Wolverton.  I don't think pre-code horror comics get much better than this.  The copy is not a pedigree but sure looks like one with glossy colors and sharp corners.  Census:  sole highest. De-slabbed CGC 9.4 for $6500.

The label will be shipped with the comic.

It's harder for me to show them off as I'm taking a picture in ambient light as opposed to the front cover which is placed on a scanner under a uniform controlled light source.
