Just picked up an Atlas Seaboard set

Missing 10 issues (Movie Monsters 1-4 and Vicki 1-4, Gothic Romances 1, Savage Combat #2), but in really nice shape. I've querried a handful of the retailers I'll see at Pittsburgh, so I'm not going to eBay just yet.

The highlights are, of course, The Scopion #1 and 2 (Chaykin), The Destructor #1-4 (Goodwin, Ditko, Wood), and Thrilling Adventure Stories #1-2, perhaps the greatest B&W magazine ever.

There is something really cool about this set.
I still dont have a full set like yourself and love to pick them up as i go at the shows for next to nothing, although i understand the magazines are a nightmare to find amywhere.

Gothic Romances #1 will cost you a pretty penny unless you manage to luck into someone who doesn't know it's value.

Here's TheVisitor's Atlas/Seaboard website, a great reference site for these:

PS: To anyone who hasn't looked at that site recently, go check it now. There is an awesome Atlas/Seaboard commission on the front page done by Anthony Castrillo.

Vicki is a b*tch to get.

Vicki 1-4 and the magazines are all I am short, and I really don't care too much about the magazines.

The Atlas Archives, like this site, is a model for what fans can do!

Dooooood -- most of the mags are so-so, but Thrilling Adventure Stories #2 may be the single greatest B&W mag ever, and #1 isn't far off.

Adams (cover), Goodwin & Simonson (immediately post-Manhunter), Heath, Severin, Toth, and Sparling.

I now have a spare set of Scorpion #1 and 2 if you need them. A retailer friend might also be bringing some Vicki issues to the Pittsburgh Comicon in a couple weeks.

I have almost a complete set... Missing Gothic Romances like most others.

I also have multiple HG copies of many of the rest actually. (Basically over a long box of Atlas Seaboards.)

I was lucky enough to get to a show early a year ago when a dealer had some old old shop stock and inside were many many high grade Atlas books.
I basically upgraded mopst of mine and filled many many gaps too.
Since then i have seen more, but the gaps i have filled were all mid grade copies.

They just look so cool.

Dude, YOU got me started on Atlas/Seaboard with a nice set that you sent me a couple of years ago. Now I am only needing a few to be at 100%, I have 2 X Vicki #1s and a #4 (I think, well I KNOW on the #1s) But I seriously love these books.

I have quite a few extras, I will post the extras that I have.

The ones you have are extra special...

They are copies straight from the old Atlas/Seaboard offices!...you know the story...

Plus the fact that you just plain, deserve them.....
