 Hi everyone, this is Chichou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book haul video and Today what we're gonna do is we're gonna look at a Comic book haul that I've been sort of buying from the same local seller for the last Two months two and a half months or so and there isn't that many comic books here. There's 26 books That I ended up getting over like a two-month period Right, and I've printed off a whole bunch of info regarding The comics I did a little research on some of the stuff. I knew before and some of the stuff I was surprised to find that I was like, wow, I didn't know that stuff. There's so much history in comic books Which is absolutely Absolutely brilliant. Okay With that little intro aside Let's take a look at this Comic book haul I've been dying to show you guys some of these books that I've bought like last month But then the seller started putting some other some additional books up and I went fishing, right? I'm sort of low budget sort of bottom feeding right now, but ended up getting some fantastic deals ended up paying fair price for a couple of books that I really wanted and Got one book here that I'm gonna show you guys and we're gonna look look at it in detail most likely The same style that we do the comic book readings on right and I'll show you this thing as well this thing My maximum price for it was a lot harder than what we ended up paying So I was really happy to get it and I haven't gone through it yet I figured we go through it together. Okay, so let me pull these guys out and these things They're not in boxes. I just go to this go to the store and pick them up, right? So he puts them in paper bags okay So let me show you these guys and the comic book haul basically goes from Golden age to There should be golden age here. I got the dates here anyway Wow, they're mostly silver age. Actually, I don't know if there's anything Specifically golden age there might be But most of the stuff is either gold or bronze age, okay? This is one of them Right, and he puts this on this one Together this this one cost me this much. I sort of moved the bags around a little bit So there was a couple of additional comics in here. So you put a price tag of eBay Whatever was in here cost me 2375 but this might have been another bag that I had from a previous haul that I Transferred the comics over right because I the bags were sort of you know the comics were They're like this so they might have been a little bit squished So I grabbed another bag to put the stuff in right so he usually puts the price of What's in the in the bag what I've bought over a week or two week period in different bags And I go there after a month or two months or three months and pick up the stuff, right? So let me show you these guys the first one on the list And this was cool. I found this out afterwards when I picked it up the guy actually told me that Sean Connery is Mix is in this comic book the character Sean Connery as a comic book character. Okay, and This one is for color 1026 1026 and it's Darby O'Gill and the little people from Walt Disney, right? I mean see if I can get the glare out of there. There you go Right, and this is one of the del four color comic book a movie related movie and TV show related comic books that they were releasing Okay, and this one Is from 1959 and it's Walt Disney movie This the story is about a leprechaun and Sean Connery is in this because he was one of the people starring in this movie Okay, and this is before Sean Connery was Became Bond start starring as James James Bond and stuff right and I am this is graded at Fine, which is 6.0, which is a pretty good copy, which is more on the mid-high grade, right? It's not bad very nice copy and This is I Ended up paying three dollars and twenty here. Let me put this thing here so I can read it and show you guys the cover Okay Make a little room for myself. So I ended up paying three dollars and 25 cents for this Canadian which ends up being and this is I guess the main actress that was in the movie and then I ended up being two dollars and 44 cents and there's a little leprechaun. I guess ended up being two dollars and forty four cents us, okay, and Alex Toth is the Writer for this I Believe anyway, it should be Alex Toth and Alex Toth that a fair bit of work He did he did stuff. He was pretty well known in a certain genre of comic books. He was responsible for space ghost The hercolytes and birdman right and her space ghosts and birdman have been Reintroduced into the our social culture from the late 1990s. I guess so he was producing the stuff in the 1960s 1950s and 60s But then his stuff started getting reintroduced rich rehashed I believe I believe was a cartoon network that has a cartoon series space ghost and birdman as well Right. I don't know if he had he was involved in it or not And Alex Toth was introduced into the hall of comic book hall of fame I didn't know him. I just like these as you know the comic book calls you might have seen I like these movie adaptations or four-color Comics and we've seen a fair bit of these comics that I've bought Over the years as comic book calls, right? So that was a good haul and three dollars and 25 cents Canadian 244 us was a fantastic. It was a good deal. It was a good deal for a comic book rated a fine, right? The next one is on the same category, right? It's Walt Disney's shaggy dog Right and this was graded at the fine minus 5.5. Okay, and it again is from 1959 Okay, and again, I paid 325 Canadian for this Which comes up to 244 us and then spiegel was the writer is the artist for this And he's he was pretty he was pretty big actually I got little notes here basically spiegel worked on Space Family Robertson, which was a debuted before the TV series So he did a lot of work for four-color we and in their movie and TV adaptations into comic books, okay, and And again, this is based on a Television, I've never seen the series. I've never seen TV show, but there's a lot of there's a lot of dog TV shows Right the one I used to watch was the littlest hobo the littlest Lobo, right? There's a hobo. Lobo the littlest Lobo was a Canadian Dog I watched Lassie and there was big yellow When the kid takes out dog out back and shoots them. I forget what the what the name of that movie was There was big yellow. I think anyway, but I used to watch a little bit of Lassie But my main dog TV show was littlest hobo and it was amazing. It's a Canadian It was a Canadian TV show and really it is such an endearing endearing fantastic TV show so I'm assuming this is on the same level. Maybe I don't think it'd be on the same level The littlest hobo was absolutely amazing brilliant TV series, right? So this is super cute super cute and Spiegel is known for unknown soldier Tomahawk Jonah accentine Titans right And one other note that I have here. What did I write here regarding Spiegel? I wrote a whole bunch I don't I can't go through it when I dig into this stuff. I mean basically what I told you about Four colors here Right, I'm going deep. I just follow links and start reading stuff I don't retain all the information, but I like reading it as I'm doing it, right? And I got here Spiegel and writer Donald F. Glott co-created a doctor specter Oh, that's the reason I put it doctor specter character in mystery comics digest number five from 1972 and doctor specter I'm not 100% sure if He did make his Appearance in the valiant comics a little originally that came up because doctor specter was some of the gold key characters and Valiant comic bought some of the gold key characters and stuff like that So I found that interesting. I didn't go down any deeper than that And he did create the black hole comic book series as well Spiegel did so he's a pretty big name Okay He was a pretty big name and Tomahawk is is huge. It's very collectible in John X We've collected some of those comics as well, right? Let me show you this This is Unique I've never seen this one before there are things related to this as well, okay? now this is the comic for collectors guide to and it's not a guide as a priceless of a It's a magazine format Okay So let me show you this. This is Grand Book Center 659 Grand Street, Brooklyn, New York, right? So this is a comic book seller when you fell out orders and You mail in your order you buy comics from them, right? So this is better than a price guide because a price guide is exactly what it it says it is It's a guide, right? It's sort of a Starting point where you can discuss with a seller how much you're willing to pay for a price Or you can price things out and decide how much you're willing to pay for it The guide sometimes is way overvalued. Sometimes it's way undervalued, right? But this is specifically Catalog where you can order the comics for those specific prices. Okay, and so sort of a price list and from the The person I picked this up from he is a historian comic book historian and teaches a course at a university or college here Regarding comic books and he said he did a lot of research for this, right? And he he found out that this is anywhere from 1966 1970 as far as when it was published when it was released, okay And it's got two extra pages in there with the mail-in ordering stuff, right? I put some info back here, right? So I won't forget, right? And We're gonna flip through this. Okay I'm pretty sure we're gonna flip through this because he had taken some pictures when he had we had the comic book listed on eBay he had taken some pictures and There's a list of some of the comics you could buy and there were like early issues of amazing spider-man for like a $1.75 or leave issues of Avengers for like a dollar, right? So I really want to flip through this and we'll get an idea of How much comics we're selling for anywhere between? 1966 to 1970, right? So you can consider this if you've been buying comic books online or buying it on eBay or looking through historical prices You can consider this the actual selling price of comic books in that period, which is fantastic, right? And my we ended up paying 1150 for this Canadian which comes out to 865 US, right? My maximum bid for this was a lot a lot higher Okay, I'm very happy to have gotten this for 1150 Canadian almost, you know, $850 US, $9 US Should I tell you what my maximum price with this? My maximum price for this was $66, okay, Canadian See yet some other zines up that I tried to get my hands on but they went for higher, right? This was sort of in the mid-range sort of in the lower end and this is the one that I bid the maximum on Right like triple what anything else I bid on right so very happy to have this and we'll take a look at it Okay, we'll take a look at it Let's see. What else we got? What else we got? Here's another one. There's a bunch of comics in here. So let's grab these See which order I have these in this one. I Have the comics listed.

Let me show you the covers for this Here's issue number one and this one we ended up paying.

I ended up paying Flip the page.

And this is the number one, right? Awesome. Awesome. So Captain Savage check this out script Script is by Gary Frederick. Okay Pencils by Dick Ayres and inks by sit short. Okay Gary Frederick is the person that was writing Sergeant Sergeant Fury and Howling commandos.

So his and dick airs was Known as Jack Kirby's Inker, right?

And he's he's been inducted into a comic book haul of fame. I'm pretty sure as well, right? I'm pretty sure I made notes of it. There's a whole page here This thing is almost the notes I took on Captain Savage and the Leatherneck Raiders, right? And both of these comics. Let me tell you this as well Number one is graded at fine. So I write it down here.

And this is for number five Because I started looking up I do have some Captain Savage as well We might have got some in previous haul, but the people that have worked on this right dick heirs We talked about Arnold Drake wrote the script for Captain Savage number five, okay The pencils were dick heirs the inks were sit shore the cover was airs and shores shore And dick heirs is is huge right he created the Western comic book ghostwriter And he did a lot of World War two and it was known as Jack Kirby's Inker basically And we've talked about dick heirs a lot in the past and then we've got Arnold Drake He was basically One of the creators co-creators of Dead Man and Doom Patrol, right and I didn't know this and And Some of the characters and guardians of the galaxy, right? So Arnold Drake Which was the writer, right Co-created Dead Man Doom Patrol and Guardians of the Galaxy, which is super cool, right? Sydney shore Check this out was an American comic book artist who known for his work on Captain America including issue number 100, right? And he did the Inks for this right huge huge and he actually worked on Captain America the original Captain America series and he What do you call it? Let me read to you the sentence shores initially worked as an Inker Embellishing some of the earlier earliest pencil work of industry legend Jack Kirby, right? Including the covers of Simon and Kirby created Captain America comics number five number seven and number nine from 1941 right and I picked up this comic For a quarter Right Not bad Collecting some of the work of some of the greats in comic books, right? And this thing I was I was interested on I found out I didn't know already Smick, okay, he did the letters for this and already smick. I didn't know about Because a lot of time unfortunately the letters In comic books, they don't get enough credit lettering in a comic book is absolutely amazing if you want Read a comics comic book series that the lettering will blow you away Actually, two of them will give you two of them which are absolutely amazing one of them is Watchman, which is brilliant Okay, Alan Moore's Watchman and the lettering in that is absolutely phenomenal and also Take a look at I shall give you three one of them is Alan Moore's Watchman Another one is Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, right? You want to see amazing lettering done, right? You read out actually everything done, right? Read Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and the other one in terms of lettering which was you know groundbreaker was Sandman comic books from Vertigo Comics again DC Comics putting it out, right the lettering in Sandman is absolutely phenomenal, right and You know, so I've been sort of paying more attention to the letters and comic books and this one was Arthur Artie Smick, Smike, I'm crappy with pronouncing names, so let me show you the name so you get the correct spelling, right? Okay, and I'm gonna read you this and I pulled this just from wiki, right? Just one level and I Followed up a little bit more and wanted some history pages and stuff like this But I didn't copy those things down for us to read it, but Smick's work included check this out check this out such landmarks as fantastic for number one, right from 1961 and Spider-Man's debut in amazing fantasy Number 15 the first appearance of Spider-Man, right? So he did the lettering for Fantastic Four number one amazing amazing fantasy number 15. What? That's absolutely fantastic, right? Fantastic and the price is the icing on the cake on this my my price for this was higher getting it for a quarter was phenomenal, right? Fantastic Not check this out Since we talked about Sergeant Fury and the howling commandos This one I paid a premium price for I paid Fair value for this, but it's fair value right now this even considers sort of on an investment front, right and it is something that I Was trying to get my hands on and this is Sergeant Fury and his howling commandos annual The king-size annual number one from 1965 okay But this one is special because it's a Canadian variant and right now like ten years ago You could buy Canadian variants on the same price that you could buy the US Issues of comics, right? But Canadian variants in the last 10 to 15 years have been going up in price Mad especially the stuff from the Golden Age of comics Especially some of the romance and horror calm and the war comics and stuff like this that I've been tracking I've gotten my hands on some Canadian comics love romance comics from the Golden Age Couple of two or three or Canadian variant war comics, maybe more, right? But this one is Sergeant Fury and howling commandos the Canadian variant and the Canadian variants You can tell that they're the Canadian variants because the back of the front cover is blank and the back cover is blank Right, so this is fantastic and there is check this out here Let me bring in unfortunately apologies about the globe, but it is what it is, right? check that out and Again Some of the greatest creators and comic books have worked on this issue Right and this is graded at very good fine and it's from 1965 And I ended up paying $24 and 50 cents Canadian which came up to $18 and 43 cents US. Okay Let me read you Who some of the people are that have worked on this comic the script is by Stanley Well, there's there's a few stories here, but script by Stanley pencils by the Cares inks by Frank Joe Koya, okay, Frankie Ray, right?

So Seagull first worked for Marvel in 1963 under the pseudo named George Carter and Stanley He co-created the villain plant man in strange tales number 113 he also scripted the human torch feature in strange tales number 112 and 113 in September, October 1963 Including the teenage Torches high school girlfriend Doris Evans and under his own name and backup featuring Feature starring the X-Men member angel which ran in Marvel tales and Kazza Okay, according to then Marvel editor-in-chief Stanley Spiegel quote was down on his luck End quote down on his luck Unbelievable unbelievable right the creator of Superman the co-creator of Superman was Joe Schuster was down on his luck Right, let me like that blows me away right So according to then Marvel editor-in-chief Stanley Seagull quote was down on his luck and quote and in ill health at the time So he gave him a job at Marvel as a proofreader during which time Seagull wrote the angel's story Now this is hearsay right coming from Stanley So anything coming from that era you take with a grain of salt, right? But we know in terms of history that how some of the great creators and comics have been treated by companies, right by Wall Street by money, right A lot of them died broke, right?
