| Superheroes, Marvel&DC: too many to list. We have
more-or-less
complete runs of every Marvel and DC superhero comic from 1961 to about
1980. After that, it gets a little more selective, concentrating on
interesting
mini-series with outstanding artwork and anything X-Man-related. |
Superheroes, off-brand:
You want obscure?
You've come to the right place. If you're looking for a Charlton
super-hero
comic, chances are we have it. We also have Atlas, Mighty Comics, Tower
Comics, ACG, ME, etc. If you collect Ditko
art,
here's the place to look. Ditko did covers and art for everything from
Blue Beetle (Charlton version) to Konga
the Giant Gorilla. You just never know where he'll pop
up. text inventory [Jaguar - Phantom

| Heroes and Superheroes, Dell/GoldKey: This is a
category I never
even knew existed until I got into those boxes in the attic. Dell
heroes
tend to be more human and less super than the typical DC/Marvel heroes,
like The Phantom. Then there's the sci-fi heroes, like Doctor
Solar, Man of the Atom, and Magnus,
Robot Fighter. The one
thing
you'll always find with Dell/GoldKey is high production values. Even
after
40 years, these comics still have crisp, glossy covers with little or
no
yellowing. And they knew how to staple straight. |
TV/Movie Comics: We have long runs of sci-fi titles
like Space
Family Robinson and Star Trek, plus lots of partial runs
and
#1 issues of dozens of '60's TV shows (Bewitched, Munsters, Astro-Boy,
The Avengers, I Dream of Jeannie, Wild Wild West, and more). Being
mostly
Gold Key, these comics are typically in excellent condition: mostly
Fine
to Very Fine. text inventory - tv

| Kid Comics: We have a couple of boxes that I
classified as "kid
comics." About half are Disneys, mostly Uncle Scrooge and
Donald-related.
The rest are very miscellaneous - Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Richie Rich,
Little
Lulu, etc. |
| Adventures of Bob Hope/Jerry Lewis: We have long runs
of these
well-produced Silver Age DC comics. I can't think of a category that
they
fit into, so I guess they get their own. Famous comedian comics? We
have
a few Abbott and Costello as well, so I guess that really is a
category. |
Teen Comics: Boxes of Archie comics - but wait,
there's more! Millie
the Model! Josie (with and without the Pussycats). Thirteen
Going on Eighteen. Ponytail. Go-Go. Teen Beat.
Harvey comics galore! If this is your thing, please contact us! Nobody
needs this many boxes of teen comics in their closets! text inventory - teen comics

| Spooky Comics: Ghost stories, horror, supernatural.
Boxes and
boxes of these, ranging from the highly collectible Amazing Adult
Fantasy
to oddball titles like Midnight Mystery and Ghost Manor.
This is another rich hunting ground for fans of specific artists, esp.
the old EC artists. Lots of Ditko, Wally Wood, Williamson, Sutton.
Dell/GoldKey
got into this line too, and did their usual marvelous production work
with Ghost
Stories and Boris Karloff, both of which we have in
quantity.
I think this is my favorite category to sort - I just love the cover
art.
And I must admit I stop and read the comics now and then. |
| Jungle Themes: About 100 Tarzan comics from
the late
50's through early '70's. Turok, Son of Stone, in a similar
range. Son
of Tarzan. Jungle Jim. Naza. Rima. Bomba.
Kona.
And so on, right up into the 1970's and '80's Marvel/DC comics. I kind
of lost interest in this part of the collection when the painted covers
stopped, but if you want to know more, just email. |
War Comics: Yup, those too. All the big-name DC and
Marvel titles,
plus tons of Charlton and other off-brands. SgtFury
|
| Westerns: Not a completist collection, but more than a
box full. |
| Classics Illustrated: 22 of these, and another dozen
or so Junior
Classics Illustrated, mostly in "reading grade." |
| Golden Age: These were all bought used (my husband
isn't THAT
old), and are typically in pretty rough shape: VG or less. Very
miscellaneous. Boy
Comics. Joe Palooka. A nice pile of slightly racy Jungle
Comics. A dozen or so war comics, about the same number of
westerns. Rex
the Wonder Dog. Fritzi Ritz. |
