It is too bad the Goodmans have passed.  The comic story is well known, but there is still much we don't know.

What's the story of 'My Secret', what else may have been published by them that were non-comics.  If anyone has 'My Secret', if you ever get the chance to review the indicia and compare it to Atlas/Seaboard's other magazine indicias, are they actually the same??

I suppose I shall have to wait to die before getting the answers.

I found one dealer who did seem to know what Gothic Romances was, but he said he hadn't seen one for years.  I am still not wholly convinced he actually did know.

Several of the 'larger' dealers (ones with actual 'wall' books up) did not even know.......

I s'pose I will have to stick with Marvel and DC........at least I am close to finishing my Tek World set!

EDIT: I almost forgot, I DID pick up Movie Monsters 3 & 4 at the con so:

Argus: 63 comics + 4 Text Publications

Of course, no Gothic Romances or My Secret.

I do have a Swank from Nov of 1975 coming.  I just ordered it to see if Goodman was involved with the publishing at that point.  Then I guess I will give it to the teenage boy that lives next door to me.

Now up to 66 comics + 4 text.

Only missing Vicki #3 and of course Gothic and Secret.

I got that Swank in, and it was published by Swank Magazine Corp, not Seaboard Periodicals.  There is a connection though.  It appears Charles Goodman was the president on Swank Magazine Corp at the same time he was heading Atlas/Seabord. (The perv....)

I have a Vicki 2 and 4 and a Blazing Battle Tales coming....as soon as they get here, I will be 1 comic shy (Vicki #3).

Of course, no Gothic Romances or My Secret.

Congrats Argus. From what others have said Vicki's can be a tad more problematic in finding than expected.

So, 67 + 4 text.

Looks like I just need Gothic and Secret.

I have a feeling this means I am as close as I am going to get for a long time.
