I've had a F+ copy of Adv. of the Fly #4 that I found in the mid 80's. Always liked the Joe Simon cover & art especially since I'm a Kirby fan. Joe & Jack always had such an interchangeable style. The fact that it had the Neal Adams art was a real plus that has made it grow in its importance over time. One of those books that's stayed in my collection for me long haul!! You did good buying that box!! -Quite a few gems!
And I did not mean that as insulting. Any just really really nice stuff. People will love you for putting that stuff out for sale. You will do really really well. These are great books for shows. Congrats
10, 12 and 15 cent comics are not filler stuff to me, I'd be more than happy to have those in my collection. The Human Flying Fish: man, those were whacky times in comic books. The pre-superhero Marvels are such a find, they are definitely getting harder to discover in the wild which is why I would keep them - you're very unlikely to find them again outside a comics shop or dealer.
At 11:50 Tales to Astonish #7, best and cool looking comicbook and cover along with Two Gun Kid, Western Outlaw and Kid Colt, (Honorable mention the Outlaw Kid), in my opinion. But Tales to Astonish #7 takes it for me at the #1 spot. I'd say keep it in your personal collection they're cool. Nice review.
Joe! Dell never had the rights to any material they did outside the right to distribute it as comics. Western Publishing had all the licenses, and did all the art and story work. Dell paid the writers and artists and went to press and distributed them. Dell also paid the IP-holders (like Disney) a % of books printed. PRINTED not sold. Good 'ol Walt. This is why when Western Publishing and Dell ceased their agreement in 1962, Dell was on the fast track to ceasing to be a comic book player. Gold Key and later Whitman were Western Publishing's in-house comic imprints. When we speak of DC Whitmans and Marvel Whitmans, those were chunks of books Western Publishing bought from Marvel/DC and distributed in different venues and/or in 3 packs.
