Robot Man Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Suspense #5 1950 Atlas/Marvel Pubs Early 52 page horror title with a great cover that looks like Maneely I believe. If I'm wrong, I'm sure I will be corrected... This is a great issue with tons of great interior art by Everett, Heath, Tuska, Krigstein and others. These early issues are great. You really got your dimes worth of nightmares. I got this MANY years ago when they were in boxes under the table or stacked on tables un-bagged at cons. Has a small pencil date and a price of $3.00 on back cover. I recently upgraded and am tempted to keep it for nostalgia reasons but I just don't need two of them... Top staple is popped but bottom one attached. Has a little edge and corner wear. Small stain on back cover. Tiny chip out of bottom corner on back cover. No real tears or creases. Just light general wear. Slightly yellowed but fresh interior paper. Was $125. Now $110. Edited February 16, 2020 by Robot Man Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Cool, non-comic book alert... 1940's felt kid's beanie with a dozen 1930's-1940's comic character pinback buttons. Most of these were given away inside your newspaper comic section with serial numbers. Winning numbers would be printed in the paper and redemable for prizes. As you can see, these were given away from newspapers all over the country featuring all the popular characters from the Sunday Funnies. A wonderful slice of Americana and well worthy of inclusion in your collection of comic character history. I took the pins off the hat to photo them, then replaced them on the beanie. These buttons have pretty much dried up nowdays. Again, considering that kids lost them right away, it's amazing many exist at all any more... Was $100. cheap I think... Cheaper at $90...

Robot Man Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Just a few this morning and probably some more later this afternoon... Racket Squad in Action #12 Classic Ditko explosion cover. Maybe my favorite of his A really pretty copy except for one thing. Two small spine punch holes and one in the upper right corner. Probably why this is such a beautiful copy. Top staple is very neatly popped.As is bottom. Book appears still attached to covers but I don't want to open it all the way. No, splits. tears, creases or missing pieces. Has a super light "water ripple" but no stains. If you can get over the punch holes, you should love this one. Was $75. Now $65.
