Thanks, Defiant, I hadn't looked at that in quite some time.

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.

At the show today I picked up something for an arm and a leg...



It seems that the seller who sold me the Gothic Romances dug into his stock and found this also. He priced it extremely high in hopes he wouldn't sell it. I offered him 20% less and he took it. I still paid a lot, but this magazine is funny. There is nothing comic related about it, but it's still neat.

What I find a little sad is that probably over half the dealers I spoke with at the teeny little KC con did not even know what Atlas/Seaboard was.

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! Wink

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

Argus: 63 comics + 4 Text Publications

I think it's sad when comic retailers only know Marvel & DC. The reason I'm tracking this down is that I'm tired of seeing 3,000 cover scans of Amazing Spiderman #1 & 450 cover scans of Amazing Spiderman #50. I know what the books look like. Everybody wants them. That's nice. Most of the dealers I talk to know what Atlas was, they just don't know collectors are out there trying to complete the set. For me, getting this & Gothic Romances was a prerequisite for me to collect the set. I only bought one when they came out and although I wished I had bought more, it was probably a task better saved for later. I appreciate them much more now because I didn't get them. I kinda take for granted a lot of the stuff I've amassed over the years. Don't tell Fuj.... but X-Men kinda bore me now. I still like them, I'm just bored with them.

A low grade Thrilling Adventure Stories No. 1 turned up in a lot that arrived this week. If I ever finish the publisher I will probaby upgrade it but for now it takes me to 17 issues for this publisher.

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). BigGrin

Of course, no Gothic Romances or My Secret. Angry

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. Wink
