Time for more ridiculously rare, never-before-seen, under-priced listings!

All of the books being listed today are my personal favorites. I hate to part with any of them as they are irreplaceable, as you will soon see. I am literally weeping on the keyboard as I prepare to describe these beauties, visualize the multiple postings of "take", and anticipate packing and sending them off into the surroundings of some new collection.

For every ending there is a new beginning...

Target v.10 #2 - very fine (8.0) ow - $NA

This is without a doubt the finest L.B. Cole Map of Africa cover. Add to that the always desirable floating head motif and you have an instant classic!

Only the dust shadow at top and a very small chip out of the top right corner keep this from a higher grade.

Topsy-Turvy Comics #1 - fine (6.0) ow - $350 SOLD!

An early predecessor of The ACG publishing empire, this scarce 1945 one-shot pre-dates Cookie by a year and pre-dates Adventures Into The Unknown by three years. An important chapter in the teen humor genre that must be read to be appreciated!
