Okay first let me start this off my saying thank you to all
who respond, also I do not know anything about comic books and I wont pretend
too, I do know condition helps and some of these are rough, but I will do my
best to explain the situation. My parents actually picked these up so I could
do some cool art work, but my Mom sent me some pictures with date and issues
and I don’t think I should be hacking these things up, I get it, the pictures I
will post make the comics look like toilet paper, but again I don’t know.
If you tell me they are trash then I will move right along
but if they are worth keeping I would like to move them to someone who could
use them. I don’t know how many pictures I can add but Ill do my best to list
more and see if it helps. They have a lot from the 60s and 70s with a few from
the 50 and 40s in there.
Superman No# 6
1965, No#1 1960, No#2 1960, No#306 1963
Flash No#4 1964
Giant Batman Annual No#1 1961
Classic Illustrated
Hunchback No#18 dec 1944
Invisible man No 153 1959
Frankenstien No#26 1945
And the list goes on, to be honest that is all I could
handle information wise before I asked her to stop, I know there are roughly 140
of these and the ones pictures don’t have covers but the rest do, some in really
good condition and some, but the worse news is I will be able to use it on my
project which will look super cool with the old paper and names. Thanks
again!!!

Hey There.
The condition of the coverless books is pretty dire, which is a shame as you seem to have some good issues there. For example, the first Batman Annual in high grade could be worth a couple of grand. But condition is everything. Having said that, there are still many key issues that can be low to mid grade that can still be worth a fair bit.
Your best bet would be the books with covers, especially so if they are from the late 50's and early 60's.

Thank you very much I will see if I can get more of them with pictures and see what happens. So people still like those comics even though you cannot read them?

The comics you have with covers are not complete books? Why can they not be read?

First - congratulations on getting a bunch of comics. And thank you for checking into them before you use for craft projects.
The cover less comics in the pictures - they have minimal value unless someone is missing an interior page - so it can be "replacement parts" for another comic. (personally I am missing the middle interior page to Mickey Mouse #32 - if you find it let me know) https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/mickey-mouse/32/powxis#mycollection
This is really a needle in a haystack trying to go this way. Cover less comics, even in complete "reading" copies, are no better than 1.0 condition. I think you will find these are minimal value. (Unless you have Superman #1 or something)
Check the values here at Comics Price Guide - if it is less than $5 I would not be concerned about making it into art.
The Classic Illustrated Comics are more difficult to find. Search by the title "Hunchback of Notre Dame" without the Classic Illustrated name. You will find that one here. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/classic-comics-18---the-hunchback-of-notre-da/pnvqk If the cover price is 15 cents or more - likely this was printed in the 1970s. Value si about $3 in average (5.0) condition.
The problem is Gilberton published a large quantity of each issue - and printed multiple publications of the same comic. So they are pretty common, Flip to the back cover and look for the "HRN" or Highest Republish Number" on the back cover. This will get you to the correct issue on the link page.
This will get you started. Message me or add to this thread if I can assist further.
