Art: Pete Morisi, Ross Andru, Gene Colan, Bob Forgione, Robert Q. Sale, Vic Carrabotta. GPAnalysis: A 5.0 sold for $299 in 2/23. #50: Fine+ (6.5). Cover slightly miscut with excess white at spine, slight curve to spine, very light edge and corner wear, edges of back cover toned. Cream to tan pages. Cover: Bill Everett. Art: Angelo Torres, Robert Q. Sale, Ted Galindo, Vince Coletta, Gray Morrow, John Forte. GPAnalysis: A 6.5 sold for $230 in 12/18. Tepid post-Code thrillers, including a beautifully-drawn but banal Angelo Torres tale, and a Pete Morisi story in which a conscientious curio shop owner repatriates a stolen relic to its native land. The only unsavory action is in the ads, one of which offers a spy camera to help horndogs peep at beach bunnies undetected. A limited edition of ten hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a few dozen softcovers. Fun reference, great keepsake, fully illustrated, chockablock with obscure facts, gags, bon mots. Softcovers are $40, deluxe hardcovers with dust jackets and limitation plates are $200. These books always go fast so don't delay. To order, contact ivan@pbagalleries.com.
