Suspense Comics #3 CGC 6.5 SCARCE Classic Schomburg Bondage Cover Continental'

Suspense Comics #3 is one of the most desirable comics of the golden age. The cover is arguably Schomburg's best and due to both its scarcity and cover art, Suspense Comics #3 is at the top of just about every golden age collector's list. The biggest problem is finding a copy. This amazing copy is one just about the best that can be acquired. There are just 2 copies that have graded higher with the highest being a lone 8.0 and just a single coipy one notch down at 7.5. It is doubtful that either of those copies will be available anytime soon. Serial number 0013021002. Very small piece of tape on centerfold at staple.

The Book:

This is a weird week. Nothing that really grabs me. That's rare.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 cgc 9.4 White 1st print

I'll never tire of this book. I remember seeing it on the shelves. I didn't buy it.

All Select Comics #7 WWII Cover Golden Age – Timely

This is a book that screams "Golden Age" to me. There are a lot of different ways a person can approach Golden Age comics and one of the funnest is through the lens of the hyperkinetic Timely war cover.

Frank Miller Daredevil #172 Bullseye Kingpin Page

This is a page that wouldn't work nearly as well as a piecce of history, but might work better as a piece of art if it were produced in the modern era. All those dialog balloons take away from what could be a gorgeous black and white page. But… the dialog balloons have their own interest and the actual dialog is cool. Interesting page.

Blood is the Harvest Rare High Grade 1950’s

Okay, so this one kind of grabs me. Not a book I'd buy, but I've always been fascinated by this one.

Batman #31 VF 8.0 white pages Alfred story DC 1945

That's one cool cover.

Lots of PGX and Robojo33 listings this week, crowding out the stuff I want to promote. Sigh.

STARTLING COMICS#49 CGC 8.0!! SCHOMBURG MASTERPIECE!!

Startling #49 is truly one of the great Golden Age covers.

Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Daredevil #187 p.23 No Res!

Yes, it's more Janson than Miller. Who cares? It's still a page from one of the best runs on the title and one of the most influential runs of all time. Sure, it won't go for as much as a page that was more Miller than Janson, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a bit of spotlight,

BETTY & VERONICA 1(7.0)TOP TWO GRADE,OW-Wpages

Neat book. Nice shape and I can't imagine there are many others out there to choose from.

Showcase #6 – Origin 1st Challengers CGC 5.5 $1000+

I'm a sucker for this book.

Original art from Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo comic art)

And finally, the coolest piece of the week Sakai is a great artist, Usagi Yojimbo is a great character and it's a charity auction. What more do you need?
