This thread is : CLASSIFIED !! (47 year old special) 1 1

[gregwynn]

I bought my Hulk 180-182 "nm" out of the CBG classifieds back in the late 80's...

[Senormac]

So that's it for the CLASSIFIEDS in this issue. 

Lots of interesting ads in the rest of the issue. 

Working on getting some scans now 

[Senormac]

ooops.  found a few more......

B. Chrislips mail auction looks interesting 

 

[Senormac]

Here is the cover to issue 13. 

It's by a guy named John G. Fantucchio who has a pretty nice body of work.

Sadly he passed in 2016, but there is lots of info on him here:   John G. Fantucchio

Good luck deciphering his signature  

 

On the bottom inside front cover is a half page bit on him. 

 

 

The top inside front cover half page is the usual rates section

cuz here is the place to be

[Senormac]

There are 21 sections of ads like these two below from Howard Rogofsky  !!  That's a lot of advertising.

I never met the man but remember seeing his name and ads often in Marvel comics. 

@Sqeggs  started a lively thread back in 2016 in the GA forum about Howard . 

You can read it :  HERE

 

 

Howard has been around a long time.

One Fawcett and MLJ and one Marvel .  Remember, this is 1972 so don't freak

teamwork

[Senormac]

Going deep into the nerdom here.  I bet there is some info in this publication that is not available anywhere else on earth.  

"A transcript of Forrest J. Ackermans talk at D'Con '71 of his friendship with Ray Harryhausen" 

Who is Forrest J. Ackerman ? 

[Senormac]

So many publications in the early days by people who just loved the hobby.  Many of them were "LIKE" detectives themselves because they 

dug into the back story of who did what and when, and then published some kind of booklet or fanzine about it. 

I don't know if having a wiki page means "you have succeeded" but it's cool to check and find one for somebody.

alfred made me do it

[Senormac]

I read some LOA before and frankly, it was pretty cool.  I mean, the story was gripping and the bad guys didn't 

take any "crapola" off people.  If you gave them trouble you got a couple of lead slugs in the belly. 

And the cops had no qualms about blasting the bad guys either.

I would, but I'm out of stamps 

I'll mail you one.....

I remember buying mail order. 

Send a self, addressed, stamped, envelope and perhaps 25 cents to the seller.  Wait for his list.  Pick what you want and pick several alternates in case it's already sold, send your picks plus a check or money order and then wait.  And wait and wait.  Eventually a package would arrive and you'd have no idea what was in there.  Took patience but the amount of effort required to buy mail order made getting a package and adding to your collection very special.  Sometimes I think the easier something is to do the less worthwhile it is to do.
