Independent comics comic books for sale @ Collectibles Shop

This Collectibles Shop page has my miscellaneous Independent (not "independant") comic books for sale, including Dark Horse (not Darkhorse as one word, and not Black Horse either), Gold Key, various other companies, Wizard Price Guide #1/2 issues and inserts, and some comic strip collection books. Comics are in alphabetical order by title, NOT by company. There's a few Silver and Bronze Age, but most are Copper/Modern. My prices are well below guide prices, some moderns are half cover price or less, but since guides are pretty worthless these days, I've stopped posting the main guide (Overstreet) prices, as they just don't reflect reality for the stuff I have. I usually give good text descriptions before a sale, and can send better scans. All comics are Near Mint, first prints, complete, unless noted. Also no restoration, pressing, etc. as far as I know. More on the Clearance page, from .25¢ to $1! See my What's New page for site-wide sales announcements and price reductions. See my Guestbook for testimonials. See this page on my site for Overstreet Grading Definitions.

PLEASE read the main points on the "How to Order" page if interested in buying anything, before you e-mail or call me, thanks. I'm NOT buying, thanks. Site navigation links are at the bottom of all main pages. "View" links are set to open in a new window/tab.

Multiple stories in each, most have various combinations of Dick Dastardly & Muttley, Penelope Pitstop, It's The Wolf, Cattanooga Cats, and MotorMouse & AutoCat. Due to the pastel colors, scans will look nicer than the grades, as the most of the defects won't show. These are half guide or less already, and save another 30% if you buy all 8:

#1, Fine 6.0, but looks better. Mostly 10-12 little 1-2mm spine marks; smattering of a few very light reading kinks; a 4" light indent line in bottom right running diagonally below propeller down through Penelope's chest/neck; a 2.5" very light bend running diagonally from the 'TL' in Muttley, to above the salt shaker to edge; light valley 'line' near the spine in most of the yellow part of cover. No wrinkling in any of those bends, the one near spine is most noticeable in person. Little tanning spot at bottom spine corner on back, about 5/16" high, 1/16"-1/8" wide, not foxing or water stain, just a tanning area. Slightly miscut near bottom spine, you'll see it hooks down a little. Possible tiny bits of rust on staples if seen under magnifying glass. Clean and bright cover, lightly tan pages...$10 (View)

#2, VF- 7.5. 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...$9 (View)

#3, VF- 7.5. 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...$9 (View)

#4, VF/VF- 7.5 or better. 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...$9 (View)

#5, F/VF 7.0. 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...$8.25 (View)

#6, Oh, F/VF 7.0, 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...$8.25 (View)

#7, VF- 7.5. 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; some thin white scratches below Autocat on plane body, another in his shoulder/exhaust cloud; nice spine, only 2-3 light wrinkle stresses or kinks 1/8" or less; bottom spine corner has the 'tick' piece missing; 2" thin printing crease on back cover near bottom of ad. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages...$10 (View)

#13, VF- 7.5. The Hair Bear Bunch story. Whitman version. 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 dings, most don't show in the white background, a couple show in the green part. Clean & bright cover, off-white pages...$8 (View)

Hero Alliance: "End of the Golden Age" graphic novel. 1986, 1st print, Pied Piper Press. Early Ron Lim art! I really liked the comic book series (don't have any left besides this), and the graphic novel is a very good 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 though. Also has about 5 little white streaks starting below N in title and in guy's ribs & arm, but these are printing defects, not paper flakes. So call it VF/NM. Cover price is $6.95, yours for 50% off...$3.50 (View)
