That's the story. First part of the Marvels were sold off a while back. The rest of the Marvels and DC have now surfaced and are scattered to the 4 corners of the earth already.

From the latest C-Link auction (and Greggy, I believe).

To get a decent shot at Dave's books, you not only need to be there very early on set-up day, you need a flame thrower to chase the hyenas away from his boxes.

It's amazing that the carcass wasn't entirely picked over and you were able to score that book. But you know that already.

The black swoosh on the books kept lots of nice copies available for bottom feeders like me. I have about 8 other hard to find PF's from the collection I hope to scan tomorrow.

Here is a tease. Most were in this shape or nicer. elieve it or not I was the 5th person to pick through this box and this book was still sitting there.

Great book, Joe!

I think I know the source of that book. I've bought a number of similarly marked books from a certain dealer years ago. The dealer explained that the books came from brothers who started out sharing a collection. But that plan didn't work out because one of them started marking the books like that to show that it was his book.

I don't own this book anymore, but I still have the scan:

Okay, Framers, big time Marvel horror fan here.
Been that why since the Old Days, good times I remember.
Always loved reading the Where Monsters Dwell books.
Those were fun days, filled with simple pleasure.

So when the opportunity presented itself to own an original boyhood memory,
To take me back to a world gone away, from gold days I'll always treasure.
I jumped at the chance.

The book is a stock image from the MC personal collection.
While the cover art is a recently procured Kane Frame masterpiece.

I hope that you will enjoy, and trust that it will take you back to a world gone away.
As these memories seem like just yesterday...
