Robot Man Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Witty Comics #2 1945 Chicago Nite Life News Pubs One of those totaly weird GA books! What a wild cover. Kid watching as a dead body falls out of a closet! Even the dog looks surprised. Even has a superhero story, The Pioneer. Sadly, the centerfold is missing and there is a couple nasty tape pulls on the back cover. Single staple is popped and book is very neatly detached from cover. All that being said, a very well presenting book with full cover, no tears or creases to speak of an supple paper. You wouldn't believe what I paid for a 7.0 Berk copy that replaced this one. No whining...you are buying this totaly weird book for the cover anyway, aren't you? Was $50. Now $45.

Robot Man Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Blue Beetle #35 1944 Fox Pubs Very cool issue. Full of violence and murder. Broken out and listed in Overstreet as "extreme violence". He ain't kidding. Even has an early cocaine story not listed as such! Sadly, a bit of a beater, reading copy. Covers are split and detached.

Robot Man Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Early 1940's Speed Comics mail away club pin. "Shock Gibson Live Wires Speed Comics Volunteers". 1-1/2" oval cello. For those of you like me, that collect this title, you know how hard and how expensive these are to get. How many of you have one of these or ever seen one? They are small and issued in small numbers during war time. Not a lot made and a lot of kids lost them right away. Like "hens teeth" kids! Pin is real nice shape for what it is. Has a very light discoloring in center of yellow background. No cracks, chips, fading and has original pin on back. Sorry for the glare on edges. Hard to photo. Would be an incredible addition to your Speed collection... Was $225. Still $225. Super rare, I should actually raise it) Edited February 16, 2020 by Robot Man Comcav and vaillant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
