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 Rusty Comics No. 20 from Hercules Publishing Corp. (Timely/Atlas/Marvel) from May 1949.  The series took a small hiatus (the last issue was November 1948) .  This is a unique series for the Timely teen/GGA titles since Rusty was married and had two kids!  In fact the title changes to Rusty and her Family near the end of the run.  Even though most of the Timely teen/GGA books featured older girls like Millie, Mitzi and Lana, none were married.   This issue has the Marvel Comic "bullet" logo which has become a collecting genre all its own.  (All credit info from the GCD.)

Rusty was one of a handful of teen titles that Martin Goodman rolled out after the huge success of Archie.  Almost all followed the same format of a typical teenager trying to catch the girl or vice-versa.  This series has a small hiatus but picked up with the same numbering for a nice long run. 

This issue grades at Fine plus/Very Fine minus.  This is a beautiful looking book.  Just the slightest spine wear and edge wear.  Cover and centerfold firmly attached.  Cover has great color and gloss.  Pages are off-white to white and supple.  Check out large scans for your determination of grade.

All prices will be determined by ebay sales, GPA for CGC books and the Overstreet Price Guide.  There are several copies available on ebay with all being multiples of Overstreet.  One recent sale of a stated Fine minus for $48.00.  Obviously Overstreet has not kept up with the demand for these Timely Teen/GGA books.  Overstreet lists $60.00 in Fine and $120.00 in Very Fine.  My starting price should be reflective of current demand and value.

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.
