I have the pleasure of offering one of the most complete Timely/Atlas collections to enter the market. Dr. Tom Lammers has amassed nearly every comic produced by Martin Goodman since 1950 and many more prior to that. This is a process that will take several years to finish with new auctions coming out each week. I will be offering several different titles each week trying not to inundate the market with twenty issues of the same title at one time. The initial offerings will be mostly Golden Age superhero and horror books, but I am going to include some other types as well. Eventually there will be every genre offered from funny animal to westerns to romance. Atlas produced some of the finest comics during this era and I expect to see quite a bit of competition for some of these books. I will also be designating the Lammers books with TGL in the title since I will continue to sell my inventory on ebay as well. I hope you enjoy seeing these books as much as I have.

This auction is for Patsy Walker No. 52 from May 1954 by Bard Publishing Corporation (Marvel/Atlas Timely Comics).  This features cover and all interior art by Al Jaffee.  (All credit info per the GCD.)

Patsy Walker was introduced in Miss America Magazine Vol. 1 No. 2 in November 1944 and proved so popular she was awarded her own magazine within six months and continued in one comic magazine or another until the late 1960's.  She was resurrected in the 1970's as the super-hero Hellcat and has continued to be part of the Marvel Universe.

I grade this book as Very Good plus/Fine minus.  Spine has just some slight wear.  This book was supposed to have two staples but there was a production defect in that the top staple was never added.  (This is quite common, especially in older comics.)  Beginnings of "Marvel chipping" on top edges.  Other defects associated with grade.  Cover and centerfold firmly attached, as described above.  Pages are cream to off-white and supple.  Cover has super nice color and gloss.  Check out large scans for your determination of grade.

All pricing will be determined by the Overstreet Price Guide, ebay sales and CGC sales as reported through the GPA.  Overstreet lists $34.00 in Very Good and $51.00 in Fine.  My starting price should reflect the lower end value of this comic.

I have been selling on ebay for over twenty years and have always maintained 100% feedback. I will ship either first class or media whichever is cheaper. Other shipping can be arranged but buyer will have to pay the difference. Foreign orders are OK with sufficient positive feedback. Postage for foreign orders will be higher and may not be reflected in the automatic billing by ebay, so please do not pay until you receive invoice created by me. Returns are accepted only if there was a defect not listed in the description. No returns accepted because of buyer's remorse so please bid accordingly. I will combine shipping but there will be a minimum fifty cents per additional auction up to a total of ten auctions. All books will be packaged safely and securely. Packages will be shipped within twenty-four hours after receiving payment. Check out my other auctions for other great books.
