You’d not believe it, Liz, but I was about to page you on this one! lol
Then I seemed to recall you gave up the "fish in the face" thing but it seems I was wrong!

I actually saw it - this is one of the non-existent issues - I think this is one of about three I've ever seen.

I keep discovering new fish in the face covers to add to the list.

There some strong inherent coolness in Robot Man's flea market threads!

Wanted #51 1952 Orbit Pubs

Cool, real violent later issue of this title. Brutal Buscema cover. This one sports a classic "Dope Addict on a Holiday or Horror" story. Super violent and graphic. Whole book has a bit of a horror twinge to it. One of the best issues of this seminal crime title.

Covers are neatly split and detached along spine. Looks pretty good otherwise other than a small old grease pencil mark on cover. Paper quality is a little rough but looks good "in the bag" and can be read easily with care. These don't turn up often...

$50.

As I said, a real cool title full of great covers. The Dizzy Dames stories sprinkled throughout are real cool too. These are the kind of books I dig out of boxes because they guide for nothing.

Sorry for the delay. My 92 year old next door neighbor got taken away in the meat wagon... Not what I expected today.

I'll try to get it rolling now.

For a minute I thought you were saying he died unexpectedly – learning new american slang by the day.
I will say a prayer for him.

Martin Luther King? That’s awesome… Thanks Robot!

Yep, the man himself. You gotta listen to old people they can teach you so much. The guy two doors down flew with Jimmy Doolittle at the onset of WWII. Wow, he's got stories!

Marvel Tales #96 1950 Marvel/Atlas Pubs

Fat 52 page issue. Real early horror issue with a cool GGA bondage, Frankenstein cover!

First 10 or so pages have a small piece out of upper right corner. No art affected. Supple interior pages. Centerfold well attached. Man these early issues are tough and very cool.

Was $130.   Now $100!

Official Green Hornet Agent 1966 Pinback Button.

Fully lithographed tin with fantastic color and iconic design. Large 4" in diameter. Way "John Molamphy" felt he had the need to write "donated by" and the date on the back is beyond me. I'm sure this would come off if desired. I just don't like to mess with things and it doesn't affect the displayability of it.

Was $40.   Now $30.
