Dear Friends and Valued Customers,

Spring has arrived, and so has another Jerry Weist comic book auction on eBay. This past Thursday, April 12, Team Weist posted over 180 lots in a 10-day auction ending Sunday, April 22.

http://myworld.ebay.com/jerryweist/

This auction is broad and diverse in scope, and contains many interesting Golden Age books, featuring covers by Jack Cole, Wally Wood, Matt Baker, L.B. Cole, Everett Kinstler, and Jack Kirby, among others. There are approximately 150 CGC-graded books; at least 14 of them are the best copies graded by CGC, and many more rank in the top 5 on the CGC Census. Among the highlights are:

- A half dozen Avon Science Fiction comics, including Strange Worlds #2, 3, & 5, Out of This World #1, and Robotmen of the Lost Planet #1.

- A nice group of Atlas Westerns, of which 7 are the top CGC-graded copies.

- Great Golden Age Horror comics, featuring exploding heads (Tomb of Terror #15), decapitation covers (Witches Tales #25), bondage covers (Diary of Horror #1, Dark Mysteries #19 and Strange Terrors #1), and simply classic surreal covers (Thing! #13 with a beautiful Steve Ditko cover.

- Some stunning, high-grade Silver Age Batman, including Batman #189 (CGC 9.4) with the first Silver Age Scarecrow appearance, Detective #303 (CGC 9.6), Detective #304 (CGC 9.4), and Detective #305 (CGC 9.6 - the BEST CGC copy).

Highlights include Journey Into Mystery #112 (CGC 7.5), a classic Thor vs Hulk battle and Amazing Spider-man #51 (CGC 9.4!), the 2nd appearance of the Kingpin.

- Dr Solar #1 (CGC 9.4)

- Great Golden Age Crime, including Harvey Comics Library #1 (Teen-age Dope Slaves) CGC 7.5 and The Killers #1 (with a great L.B. Cole cover), both lurid Pre-code comics cited in Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent.

- Nyoka, Jungle Girl #2 (CGC 9.2)

- For fans of War comics, we have at least 7 DC War comics from the Golden and Silver Ages that grade at CGC 7.5 (VF-) to CGC 8.5 (VF+), including 2 with Grey-tone covers (Our Fighting Forces #71 & G.I. Combat #80) and 2 featuring Mme. Marie covers and stories (Star Spangled War #87 & #88 - the latter is the BEST copy graded by CGC). We also have two very nice Golden Age Wings issues, #35 (CGC 7.5) and #42 (CGC 8.0), from 1943-1944.

We hope there is something here for all to enjoy. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us. And, once again, thank you for all your support.

All the best,
Team Weist

P.S. Please look for our launch of a "Buy It Now" eBay store in the next few months. We hope to start with 500-1000 books and to keep adding to the site every month.

How's this for weird... actor Shia LaBeouf makes minis and he contacted us directly and asked us to carry his comics! They're in the Indie/Adult section (because there's quite a bit of swearing). They're called CYCLICAL and LET'S F*CKING PARTY and they're $10 each. Stop by and take a look!

Also, THANK YOU to anyone who contributed to Keith Knight's Kickstarter campaign... he got funded! Woo-hoo!

For those of you interested in our auctions, we'll be posting the details of the next auction soon. When things go live, you'll find them through the Team Weist eBay page:

WE LOVE KEITH KNIGHT! Which is why we are encouraging you to support his Kickstarter campaign (which ends THIS Friday) so that he can write his autobiographical masterpiece I WAS A TEENAGE MICHAEL JACKSON IMPERSONATOR.

In Keef's own words, "So what we have here is part comedy part horror show/coming-of-age story part homage to the '90s and the artists that ruled them... But more importantly it's about a young man who found himself through impersonating somebody else!" If nothing else, check it out for the chuckle regarding some of his higher level rewards.
