Men in Action #5 Aug 1952

One of the best Maneely war covers. Very brutal black cover. Real violent contents with nice art. Cool ad for the Major Mars Rocket Ring inside. Atlas war seems to have really been gathering steam lately. Especially the stand out covers like this one.

Nice looking copy especially for a black cover book. Has a long, thin "subscription" crease down center. Top and bottom corners have small creases. No pieces missing or tears. Has that nice "spot gloss" common to Atlas. Smooth, tight spine. Yellowed but supple interior pages.

WAS $125.

NOW $100. this will be cheap soon...

Adventures in Disneyland by Richfield 1955 Richfield Oil Giveaway

16 pages on newsprint. From the first year the park opened. Great story of a kid's day at the park. Features all the original rides many of which are now long gone. Great ad for the Richfield Autopia on inside back cover. Was probably given to kids who rode the ride. Due to it's fragile nature, not many around especially in decent shape.

Clean, flat copy with nice color. Tiny tips off top right and left corners of cover. Has a small 1/4" tear through book at bottom and a small 3/8" tear in back cover edge. A few minor wrinkles. Presents very nice. Scarce.

$50. I hate the saying too, but I don't mind keeping it...

Sparkler #100 July-Aug 1951

Great 100th issue from one of those very early comic book titles. Cool issue with a racist story, Nancy and Sluggo, an ad for the Tom Corbett Rocket Cereal Rings and to top it off a wild Casey Ruggles story with bondage, man attacked by a giant eagle and human sacrifice!

Clean, tight, complete copy with a tight, smooth spine. Slight spine roll as made. No tears, creases or missing pieces. Nice off white interior pages.

$25.

SOLD!

Prize Comics #42 June 1944

Classic Frankenstein splash and story with Frankie as a Gestapo officer! Nice Flying Fist and Bingo Horror story. Lots of WWII content. Super Hot title right now. I look high and low for them and rarely come across them. If I do, they cost me. Overstreet is still way out to lunch on this title.

A sad copy... Centerfold is out. Affects the Ted O' Neil story. Frankenstein and Yank & Doodle as well as all other features are complete. Book has seen some water. Single staple has rusted through to center. Cover still bound well to book. Stains and general wear. No tears, creases or missing pieces. Supple interior paper. Just a cheap filler for the bargain minded. Prize Comics don't come a lot cheaper than this...

$75.

SOLD!

OK, here is a very cool item!

MAD's Greatest Artists The Completely MAD Don Martin. This is a lavish, large 2 volume slipcased set comprising everything this iconic artist ever did for MAD Magazine. 2007 by Running Press. Forward by Gary Larson who was most certianly influenced by Don. Tributes and stories by MAD staffers that worked with him. Black and white and color with all kinds of extra stuff. Took me weeks to read and digest. Can't recommend this enough!

$65. + Media Mail postage to the buyer. This massive volume is over 15 pounds and large so I doubt it can go flat rate.

How about $60.?

Ronald McDonald #1 Sept 1970

Here is one weird Charlton! Never knew about this one until I stumbled into it.

Slightly rolled spine (as bound). Small waterspot at top of cover. A couple small corner and bottom creases. Centerfold neatly detached. Some one put two extra un-needed staples at top and bottom of spine from some interior pages out. Weird... Tight, clean copy with no tears or missing pieces. Grab a weird one!

SOLD via PM

OK, last one today. And this is simply classic!

132 Roman Soldiers!

Yep, this is the one you have seen so many times on the backs of early 1960's comic books. The one with the fantastic Russ Heath ad. Come on, didn't you want to send away for these as a kid?

This is a lot of 123. (sorry, some kid lost or broke a couple). Still you can have quite a war with these. All except one are excellent condition and un-broken. Pretty good track record for these. These are all original and would be the talk of any comic book discussion thread or comic con. I will include a copy of the ad if you need it but suspect you really won't.

$75. for a true taste of comic book history!

Don't "like it" just buy it!
