Al Feldstein "The complete Junior and Sunny" Hardbound book Edited by Grant Geissman. 2014

Lavishly printed. Reprints all the Junior and Sunny Fox comics with a great intro by Al including a history of his work in comics and these books. If you are not Ricksneatstuff, and can't afford the originals, this is for you. A must read. GGA at it's finest!

As a bonus...I will through in a publisher's promo pin as well.

Read once, carefully by me.

$40. (postage will be be either my media mail or flat rate, buyer's choice)

Harvey Comics Hits #1 "Teen Age Dope Slaves" 1952

Used in Seduction of the Innocent on page 27. What can be said about this book that hasn't already been said? Was a grail for me 30 years ago when I first saw it. Still in high demand and doesn't come around all that often.

The book is coverless with a one sided color copy front cover. From a large collection of coverless books I recently ran into. Lots of cool stuff but this was a real stand out. Clean, solid, otherwise complete copy otherwise.

$100. or pay multiples of guide for a nicer complete copy...

what the hell gotta have it TAKE!!
