+ 1.60%

This is a place for fans of Platinum Age, Victorian Age and Pioneer Age comics, Big Little Books, Sunday funnies, premium pins & badges and other pre-1940 treasures. For the most part, if it’s pre-1940 and listed in (or should be listed in) Overstreet it should fit right in. If it’s a little bit post 1940, but cool, it’ll probably work too.

The Dutch Boy’s Lead Party, A Paint Book for Girls and Boys, 1923, brought to you by the National Lead Company.

What a cover! Doc Savage The Running Skeletons (June 1943 Street& Smith).

The issue that started it all. Doc Savage The Man Of Bronze. The US version was published in March 1933. This is the Canadian version, published in October 1933. Lamentably, with the way pulp prices have soared since slabbing began, this may be as close as I get to the first issue.

Doc Savage The Talking Devil (May 1943 Street & Smith). This was shortly before they switched to digest sized with abstract covers.

Very simple but effective cover. Doc Savage Measures For A Coffin (January 1946 Street & Smith). “In which Doc Savage literally catches fire . . . “

One of the rarest Platinum Age comics in this 10” x 10” format, with only 2 sales on eBay (one with missing pages) since 2006. Little Napoleon (1924) - no publisher listed but similar in format to Cupples & Leon).

Holy crap. Even bidding twice guide I still got shut out at the last minute.

Another of the later digest sized issues with a semi abstract cover. Doc Savage The Death Lady (February 1947 Street & Smith).

Another late run Doc but before the abstract covers started. Strange evil things that made ordinary crimes pale! Doc Savage The Exploding Lake (September 1946 Street & Smith).

Weird title but cool cover. Doc Savage Se-Pah-Poo (February 1946 Street & Smith.
