catrick339 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) As long as I'm at the comp, I'm going to list THE worst book of the thread. Speed Comics 27 Just take a look at this poor orphan. Big piece off upper BC, chunks missing along spine FC, spine is brittle, with the first few leaves split or nearly split with bits falling off at a harsh look, the poor thing has had a rough life. BUT! it is a complete copy, consisting of 32 pages front half, 24 pages back half, with Our Heroes kicking some Nazi butt on the FC. Special Guest Appearance by Adolf Hitler in the Shock Gibson story. O'street G is $181, asking $50 SOLD! And YES, it can be read if you're careful.

catrick339 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 This seems to be the proper time to mention this. There seems to be a theme to todays comics. Old buddy Lunatic Lite has considerably better taste than Lunatic Lowgrade Guy had, but he's still authentic OLD SCHOOL COLLECTOR, more interested in the stories than the condition. LL likes nice displaying complete comics and didn't give a hang about the odd piece of tape, or a piece out of the back cover, or a bonus staple or so. Pretty much everything from today has one or more of these problems, and still looks good in a Mylar, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
