Well — he is a comic, after all.

Well, my big eBay sell-off is done. I haven’t updated the for sale/not for sale/sold status of the comics in my gallery here yet, but I will soon. I’m keeping around 20 or so of my favorites, but I raised enough money to satisfy my immediate need for prescriptions, rent, and miscellaneous bills. A big THANK YOU to everyone who bid on my auctions.
Meanwhile, in other comic-related news, I’d like to share a photo I distributed privately but think others may be interested in too. It’s a photo of a few select books from my collection of foreign-published comics of American origin.
They are:
- British - Ghostly Weird #1
- British - Hulk #1 digest
- British - Mystic #54, featuring Avengers #1
- Australia - Batman #8
- Brazil - Superman #42

I recently discovered some work by comic book artist Rudy Palais in a 1950s science fiction pulp digest. Palais has two illustrations in the June 1954 issue of If - Worlds of Science Fiction. You can click either image below for a larger view. The artwork is interesting as it does not look like Palais’ usual comic book style. In fact, it kind of reminds me of the art of Palais’ Harvey co-worker Howard Nostrand.
ALSO, my big eBay comic collection sell-off continues. Please check my listings here. Every bid helps….
