I'm torn on my war comics i want to sell them but i like the stories and the cover art is just awesome. I also regret selling most of my western/gold key stuff for the same reason. As you and well almost anyone that reads any of my posts know I'm pretty much into ghosts and robocop/terminator stuff now.

Still, I like this thread! keep them coming!]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2016 23:09:59 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5708 Message from Gilgandra ]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2016 04:22:29 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5708 Message from kds_comics Not in as good of condition as I would have liked, but one can't have everything.









Need I explain these Godzilla - I think they give off the "what the #%$@ ?" value all by themselves..

Here are a couple of better ones for your enjoyment. Significantly more than $1 on these.





Until next time - happy hunting!

I am putting many of these up for sale now with these cover scans. I bet you did not know the Navy fought UFOs!! Only in the 1950's - I bet.

Back in the day Marvel re-printed several comic issues in about a 5" by 7" format and called the "backpack" books.
larger than paperback - smaller than trades or comics. Here's one.
I guess you could hide it in your backpack and take it to school.



No comment here - just a cool cover.



Continuing with a few miscellaneous Marvel comics - cover coolness,,,













That's all for now. Will post more often if I can get it together.

Lots of cool books. What I don't have, I want.

What is the deal with the pic sizes? I can see the full size of TDC in the reply box, and below in the previous messages the pics are also larger. Is just with photobucket? Has anyone tried using flickr?


I think it is just photobucket. CPG pulls from photbucket and crops to fit. Better than when the picture was pouring out the right side of the panel. Okay all - Hit "Reply" to any message above with a picture in it and you will see a bigger picture.
It's a feature.

How about some old TV shows?
Not the Andy Griffith version, but this was a TV show.





Anyone remember this one from the 1970s? Surprised it is not in syndication.



If I can mix in a comic related movie...





Saved the best for last. They really do NOT make comics like this anymore...



There is a plot underfoot - a cemetery plot! I crack me up.

Millie the Model, I just don't get it really. I know some collectors love it and can cost a bunch, just not my deal though. Do you have many? Good writing in them?
edited by Jokerbangedquinn on 5/22/2016


Millie represented a "slice of life" of a teenager growing up in the 1960's. (i.e the modern world!). Most early issues were written by Stan Lee. He was also writing Patsy Walker, and at the same - Fantastic Four, Avengers, the occasional Spider-Man, and others too numerous to name. He literally wrote 8 to 10 comics a month. If you lived during that time, it is nostalgic. Think "Andy Griffith Show" - What was it about? - the personality of the characters in their daily life. Millie and Patsy comics have the same type of story.

Here's a decent condition Millie the Model Comic - very hard to find - folks that have them tend to hang on like a hair in a biscuit... so to speak. Great color on the cover. Art by Stan Goldberg. Written by ...Denny O'Neil?!?. And you wondered what he did before he wrote Green Arrow comics!



Here is one - I picked up some time ago. Never seen in 30 years of collecting comics. Parody comic using term "We're so In, we're out!" a cool saying at the time. Really! Interior of back cover - poster of Herman's Hermits. - Inside front cover - poster of the Rolling Stones - direct from 1966!




Speaking of parody comics - I leave you with a the Stever Gerber classic - arguably the funniest comic of all time - in the mist of the song "Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting" and everything from cooking to leadership being taught in 7 or 8 easy lessons (Just send in you $3.95) . Steve Gerber writes the tale to teach the Alien Duck Kung Fu in 7 easy lessons - in one night!.



Up next time - 1970's monster comics!

Here's a socially relevant Iron Man from the 1970's



DC was re-creating the 1930's



Before getting the occasion socially relevant "buddy movie" comic going.



In the late 1970's DC was back to being less socially relevant - doing - what ever the heck this is...

Spider-Man battles Dracula!
Dracula also later battled the X-Men, but that's another story.




Picked this up recently - first Iron Fist - (I think).
Might go up in value if the TV Show/Movie are any good.



Just to show I do have a few old ones, here's a classic copied from the movie of the same name - Gypsy Colt.
Simple story back in the day - comic ran on to the interior and exterior of the back cover!
And interior of the front cover too. Cover shows wear but interior pages are solid!
Better paper in the 1950's that in the 1970's. And them folks could draw them some horses!

Deleted Railroad comics post - suffice it to say if you see a railroad comics

If you find one for a couple of bucks - buy it. If they want $10 or more - you should probably pass.

I used to know how to put up pictures here - going to the new forum is about as much fun as going from

Oh well, sorry I have been offline for a while. There are other tasks in like, unpleasant as they may be.

Here's one from Hercules. No, that that Hercules. Nope,. not that one either - Charlton Hercules.
I guess SOMEONE should have copyrighted the name.
Hey, that horse has a horn on it's snout, and some mean looking teeth...




Here's my Weird Western Tales - A very conservative grade of 4.5 condition CPG Guide price of $30.

This is the first in the Weird Western Tales series even though it is #12.
Continued from another series - I forget which one.



One more for Monday... I have come to like these Sugar & Spike comics from Sheldon Mayer.
Believe me, Sugar is anything but sweet! Beguiled Spike goes along with almost anything...


Have a good week.

1) Compliment to Two Gun Kid above - Two Gun Kid #78 The Kid
meets Jesse James! Jesse just out-shot the kid - what now?



Classic Fantastic Four #147 - guess who gets a fist in the face first?
Does it really matter?





How about a Charlton Hero - Here's a Judo Master #91 I
picked up a while ago? Fold looks worse than it is. So who would win? Judo Master or
Marvel's Shang Chi? Something to contemplate during your break time. Don't
think too deeply, their fictional. Hey, they both wear red and yellow! Wish I had pajamas that looked like that!
BTW - classic cover on that MOKF - Just like work every day...








Here's one I picked up somewhere that needs no introduction. Love those crazy arms...




To always leave with a funny book, here's a rare pick for below market value -
Bob Hope # 91. Small fold on cover - not torn off, just a fold in the scan.
A little rough but hard to find in any readable condition.
Still classic cool after all these years. And no Bing to steal the babe...




That's all for this week.. Hope your Easter was blessed.

Let’s go for cool. Yeah, that’s it…

This is the only “Land of the Giants" (issue #5) comic book I have ever seen.
The comic book is based on the 1960’s television show. It goes
something like this…

The Spindrift, a sub-oribital spaceship on a flight from Los
Angeles to London, became lost when it passed through a strange cloud in the
ship's orbit around Earth. It landed on an alternate Earth-type planet, where
the inhabitants were roughly twelve times the size of the Spindrift's
passengers. Our heroes include the ship's captain (Steve Burton), co-pilot
(Dan) and stewardess (Betty); an arrogant engineer (Mark); a sexy jet-setter
(Valerie); a young boy (Barry) and his dog Chipper; and a mysterious rogue
known as Commander Fitzhugh. Together they battle the planet's totalitarian
government, try to avoid capture, and attempt to repair the Spindrift so they
can get back home.





Photo cover…don’t forget the dog – 1960’s TV shows almost always had a
dog

And the space Ship was orange! I wonder if it inspired the color for the space shuttle main fuel tank?
Coincidence? I think not…



See my - first rant - cool and educational too... feel free to comment.
