We thought our chance to buy these was over, but we just got a brand new list of titles. A great many are slipcased editions of books which we only handled as regular editions: Sheena, Planet Comics, Adventures into the Unknown, Forbidden Worlds, Capt. Flash, Capt. Science, Captain Video, Out of the Night, Rulah, Strange Fantasy, Web of Evil, and Weird Mysteries.

The last three Planets, until now at full price, are now on sale. So is Web of Evil, Weird Tales of the Future, Journey Into Fear and others. You can do a search on our website using code word  PSSALE if you want to browse all the titles.

There are still plenty of regular price titles and more coming in, so PS isn't going anywhere. They just have excess inventory to clear out. Many of these titles are NOT in large supply—sometimes we bought every copy our source had and wished for more. So act accordingly, some will sell out quickly.

Add a Zebra-skin outfit and some fast-learned jungle ability, and she's now the white jungle goddess. Superior good-girl artwork by Bob Webb, Al Feldstein and Jack Kamen, as well as the Iger Shop.

ACG Collected Works

 
FORBIDDEN WORLDS Volume 10
Closeout Price! Collects #59-64, 1957-58. Recommended. By Emil Gershwin, Ogden Whitney et al. Tales exploring science fiction, dark creatures and the supernatural as ACG thrives in the post-code world. These stories are some of the most readable and interesting from the period, even considering Stan Lee's work at Atlas. ACG editor and chief writer Richard Hughes escaped the typical clichés and presented off-beat tales--more fun to read now than most other comics of the time. PS Artbooks, 2015...More.

PRE-CODE CLASSICS JOURNEY INTO FEAR Volume 2
Closeout Price! Collects #8-14, 1952-53. By the Iger Shop. Hey, it's all here, culture-lovers: walking dead folks (loads of ‘em)--some of them even still sporting their heads—witches, ghosts, werewolves and enough vampires to go into the second-hand dentures business. The publisher knew beautiful girls sold, so lots of tales feature nice young ladies being threatened with every sort of ghastly peril. And often it comes to be. Another wild title from Superior, one of the most extreme of the pre-code comics publishers (which makes them the most fun). PS Artbooks, 2016...More.

PRE-CODE CLASSIC STRANGE SUSPENSE STORIES Volume 1
Closeout Price! Collects #16-22, 1954. Recommended. By Steve Ditko, Vince Alascia, Jim Aparo, Pat Boyette, George Evans et al. This one says it all: suspense stories that are strange, and that wasn't just idle talk, like, say, whacked out westerns or mad mysteries. No sir, the yarns to be had in Fawcett's and later Charlton's groundbreaking title set a new standard for weird. Considering the creative talent, it's no surprise: the incomparable Steve Ditko (multiple covers AND stories), Pat Boyette, George Evans, Joe Gill, Frank McLaughlin, Joe Shuster, and Steve Skeates. PS Artbooks, 2016...More.

PRE-CODE CLASSICS THIS MAGAZINE IS HAUNTED Volume 3
Closeout Price! Collects #15-21, 1954. Recommended. By Shelly Moldoff, Bob Powell, Dick Giordano, Bob McCarty, Steve Ditko et al. One of my personal favorite pre-code titles. This one began under Fawcett and moved into the hands of Charlton, where young Steve Ditko was just starting out--includes multiple iconic covers AND stories by our boy. In fact, the art in general here is quite a bit better than the typical fifties fare--more in the great tradition of EC Comics and the Harvey Horror line. A dizzying array of  twisted tales of post-death revenge and retribution. Don't miss out! Collects issues #15-21, February 1954 to November 1954. PS Artbooks, 2016...More.

PRE-CODE CLASSICS WEIRD MYSTERIES Volume 1 Slipcased
Closeout Price! Limited, 300. Collects #1-6, 1952-53. Highly Recommended. By Basil Wolverton, Bernard Baily et al. Key Publications/Stanley Morse was a Johnny-Come-Lately to the horror comics field. To compete with the big boys, he got even more ghastly and horrible, beginning with his first title, Mister Mystery and ratcheting up the volume right here. He gave a start to a new generation of comic artists, including Andru, Esposito, John Romita and Steve Ditko (the latter two not in this volume). But he knew enough to feature two huge and important veterans: Wolverton and Baily. PS Artbooks, 2013...More.
