Fun-In (Hanna-Barbera characters), 1970 series, Gold Key Comics. Multiple stories in each. Due to the
pastel colors, scans will look nicer than the grades, as the most of the defects won't show:
#1 - Feb. 1970. Dick Dastardly & Muttley, plus Penelope Pitstop. F/VF, but looks better. Mostly 10 or so little spine marks, smattering of very
light reading kinks, and a 4" light indent line in bottom right. Slightly miscut near bottom spine, you'll see it hooks down a little. Clean and bright cover, lightly tan pages. About $33 OPG in F/VF, yours for...$25 (View)
#2 - Dastardly & Muttley, Penelope Pitstop, and It's The Wolf stories. VF-. Nice copy except for the
1/2" corner crease in top right; 3-4 little 1/16" or so spine stress marks, slight tear at top staple; very light indent line running along length of
spine, about 1/2" in, nothing to write home about. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages. About $20 OPG, yours for...$15 (View)
#3 - Dastardly & Muttley, Penelope Pitstop, Cattanooga Cats, and It's The Wolf stories. VF-. About 4
minor 1/8" spine stress marks, a few light reading kinks mostly on the left side, light 3/4" thumbed edge top left. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages. About $20 in OPG, yours for...$15 (View)
#4 - Dastardly & Muttley, Penelope Pitstop, Cattanooga Cats, and It's The Wolf stories. VF/VF- due to 2 semi-medium spine kinks behind Dastardly's back, that extend 1/4" or so into
the cover, with shallow valleys to them, but only 1/8" stress marks. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages. About $20 in OPG, yours for...$15 (View)
#5 - Dastardly & Muttley, MotorMouse & AutoCat stories. F/VF. Main things are a dent/bend in top right corner, about 1" across, 1/4" in,
not creased, but has hump-bend line; 3/4" valley bend/spine kink at top staple, about 5 other 1/8" spine stresses; top spine corner has slight indent ding, couple little stresses; a very few light
reading kinks. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages. About $18 in OPG, yours for...$14 (View)
#6 - Dastardly & Muttley, and It's The Wolf stories. Oh, F/VF, most would probably say VF-. Top edge near spine corner has a 1"
horizontal kink depression that goes through the book, so has hump line on back cover there too; Above the 'N' there's a slight pinch/kink spot that goes
through the book, it's bit heavier on the back cover; Gold Key box has a 1" vertical light indent line with a 5/8" thin white line to it, barely shows in
scan; slight impact ding at tip, shows more on back; 1/8" spine stress mark, plus only a couple 1/16" ones along spine; few light reading kinks/small waves
in Dastardly; light blue squigglies you see in Dastardly are how it was printed, maybe some junk on the plate. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages. About $18 in OPG, yours for...$14 (View)
#7 - Dastardly & Muttley, MotorMouse & AutoCat, and It's the Wolf stories. VF-. In Gold Key box at tip and through little "Fun-In" title, there's curved
bend line about 1.5" total, but only 3/4" of it has the deeper kink, and goes through the book, has little 1/16" tear top edge there too; nearer right corner there's a light semi-circular impact wave
bend, couple waves to it, goes through the book, but pretty light on front, little heavier on back cover; nice spine, only 2-3 light wrinkle stresses or kinks 1/8" or less; bottom spine corner has the
'tick' piece missing. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages. About $21 in OPG, yours for...$16 (View)
#13 - The Hair Bear Bunch story. Whitman version. Oh, VF-. Like #7, it has nearly the same 1.25"
bend/kink/thumbed spot at top corner, but much lighter, with light 3/4" white hair thin line in Whitman box from it; 1/4" corner crease lower right; a dozen
or so worthless little spine dingies, most don't show in the white background, a couple show in the green part. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages. About $18 in OPG, let's blow it for over 1/2 off...$8 (View)

Hero Alliance: "End of the Golden Age" graphic novel. 1986, 1st print, Pied Piper

Super Hero story you'll enjoy. 46 pages. Cover has 3 vertical vein lines in upper part--2 are about 1/2", one is 3/16". Non-color breaking tho. NM-. Still at original price...$6.95 (View)

Tim Truman's "Wilderness: The True Story of Simon Girty" (Book One: The Borderland) signed/numbered
hardcover. Extremely limited at only 400 copies, this is #185. Same as the regular h/c, but has signature on piece of blue tape, with embossed seal from publisher,
on 1st page. 8.5"x11.5" graphic novel, b&w art. Tells the historically accurate true story of Simon Girty - renegade, scout, betrayer - from the mid to late
1700's, before and during the American Revolution. Great detailed pen & ink art, intriguing story, great for history buffs! Was $60 new, but dustjacket has a tear
(taped inside), and some scuffing, so 1/2 price @...$30 (View)

Vengeance of Vampirella #8 (3 available), polybagged with painted Vampi promo card by Bo Hampton. From Harris comics. $2.95 cover, yours for...$2 ea. (View)
Wizard #1/2 comics - Mail-ins from the Wizard Price Guide magazine, for a coupon and money, plus you had the
cost of the mag. All are in Wizard bags, with certificates, I have more than one of most. (View all my Wizard 1/2 comics):
Darkness #1/2, or Lady Death #1/2 (1st one)...$6 ea.
Dawn #1/2 (first one, VF/NM), Fire from Heaven #1/2, Silver Surfer/Witchblade #1/2 (Devil's Reign), or Tales of the Witchblade #1/2...$4 ea.
X-Files #0-41 run, complete. Includes a CGC graded 9.8 copy of #1, first print, serial #0126555001 (View).
All are by Topps Comics, first prints unless noted. All are NM to NM+ except a couple/three have little corner dings or spine kink or 2, so NM-. Includes Annuals #1, 2; Special Edition #1 (reprints #1-3); three #0's (regular cover, plus Mulder cover and Scully cover variants); Digest #1
#2, #3 (w/both #1 covers--photo cover was a limited variant from American Entertainment, and is not quite NM- due to factory printing gray streaks at bottom, View); Wizard mag X-Files #1/2 NM-; Wizard ACE Edition #19 signed by cover artist Miran Kim w/certificate (reprints #1 with new cover art); Ground Zero #1-4
mini-series; AfterFlight graphic novel (all have a wavy cover due to the binding); and the Hero Illustrated mag #2 with the "Trick of the Light" X-Files special promo comic, VF/NM
(View). #21 has the P2 promo card, and have both covers of #33 (view photo cover), and both cover variants to #40 & #41.
These are bulk bagged in magazine size bags, so not individually bagged/boarded. 62 comics total, 63 items total including the Hero #2 mag.
Most of the regular comics were $2.95 cover, the Specials/Annuals/Digests were $3.50-3.95, and the graphic novel was $5.95. Total COVER price of the #2-41 and
other regular comics was about $184, guide price is another $30-40 higher, not including #1. So I'm discounting 50% off COVER
for the $184 regular comics (so $92 for those), and adding the CGC'd #1 for $60 ($15 less than my other copy below), and $38 for the signed ACE edition, #1/2, and Hero mag w/promo comic, so the whole set can be yours for...$190
X-Files #1 CGC graded NM/M 9.8! Serial #0126555002, white pages. First print of course, Jan. 1995, by Topps.
Beware of the hucksters selling the numbered editions for high prices--those are REPRINTS, NOT RARE AT ALL (anyone claiming those are
rare is lying and should be avoided), and not worth anywhere near what the one online price guide still has them at, which has them HIGHER
than the first prints, which is totally wrong! Mine is the actual first edition, which as I recall, they did less of than those
marketing-gimmick-numbered-across-the-top reprints. #1 was especially under-ordered. 9.8 is the highest CGC grade on these so far, and you won't find
graded ones on the market very often. Have seen them sell for a wide range, and up to $100. You can own mine for...$75 (View)
X-Files #1 Wizard ACE (Acetate Cover Edition), signed by cover artist Miran Kim. #19 in the ACE cover series, from Wizard #73, 1997. Dealers got 1 ACE edition for every 25 copies of Wizard #73 they ordered. This reprints X-Files #1, with new cover art,
both on the overlay and the heavy cardstock cover, so if you're a completist, you need this. Signed in silver ink on lower front, and also has some of her sig stuck on the back,
due to stacking them before ink was dry. With Wizard certificate of authenticity. Still at list price of...$19.95 (View actual copy)
X-Files #2, 1st print, VF/NM...$5
#2 VF...$2.50
X-Files Digest #1 ($3.50 cover) Few spine scuffs. Sale!...$2
These comics and X-Files magazines and other stuff are also on my X-Files page, start buying before the second movie hype kicks in!
