The cream of the crop still command ever higher prices (see the last BC 50 and Blue Bolt 115 results from CLink), but the middling stuff has cooled off. VG-F copies of random Superior tiles, for example, are not $300-600 any more...and they were for awhile. Wow the price on the BB 115 is much higher than I would have guessed.

Popular Post Junkdrawer Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 Not sure about the price I paid but I didn’t care. I never thought I could own a book that someone wrote their name either but there were other variables that I liked. 3/42 is my moms birthday, so that was a sign go take this. I also loved the abyss of not really knowing what it’s worth, not like calculating what’s too much to bid for a IH181 or something trackable like that. What mostly grabbed me is the yellow cover, like a few of them early standout Marvel Mystery Comics. The art on this cover is jumping off the page to me. I thought at first glance it was another Schomburg, was I wrong. Trying to think what to bid was surely a challenge, but then I got to thinking I don’t not want to win this. This cover is what all comic books should look like and when do you get a chance at one. This was never on my radar. telerites, The-Collector, Jayman and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mom was a war baby (like myself), but I dunno if you should be reading this; bondage, torture, Nazi-ism, violence. What would Dr. Wertham say?

fifties Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think I've seen the number of books considered as icons in the PCH genre increase over the years. Fight Against Crime #20 by Story Comics of course has been there a long time, as well as Strange Tales 28, Crime SuspenStories 22 and Mister Mystery 12, just to name a few. All show either a person in immediate danger beyond their control, or game over for them. While CofC 23 doesn't exactly depict imminent death, it is a terrifying image with a supernatural creature. I can tell you that as a youngster in the early '50's gazing at the comics at the local newsstand, some of these covers would scare the sh.. out of me! comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
