This Massive Flea Market was Strangely Empty… but Two Comics Saved the Day!

I love that Kaluta cover for The Shadow #1! I love the idea of raising money by offering yourself for potshots.

Jungle all the way. No contest.

I love the history of comics

No Marvel or Dc?? Mike you are buying outside of the box!! 😆😂

The historical value of comics tends to be forgotten. These are 2 great pick-ups for that reason alone. The important thing is you had fun finding them and learning about then. The art is great on them as well. So many golden age artists don't get a light shine on them anymore, too. Nor the fact that what they did, pioneered every single book we do give the spotlight to. Good job, Mike! Keep them coming sir!

I love Mac Raboy, always trying to find more of his. Great pickup, thank you for sharing!

Mac Raboy was way ahead of the game at the time. That cover is stunning, I'm not surprised it captured your comic art heart.
He died ridiculously young, mid forties if memory serves. He's up there now discussing technique with Joe Maneely...
Loved the Jungle Comic also, lovely cover. Gorillas on covers have always sold comics, strange really since they are the most placid of the primates. You never see attack of the killer chimpanzees !
Low turnout at flea market, that will down to climate change. Unless you are in the UK then it will be climate change and/or Brexit. You takes yer pick!
Missed commenting on your comic restoration vid, it was fascinating and terrifying in equal measure.
Do you have knowledge of sixties kids toys? Sorry off topic but when I was a kid in the early seventies I had a Jonny Astro
rig. I have no memory of where it came from and as far as I can ascertain it was never sold in the UK.
Sorry for the long comment.
Love your show Mike keep 'em coming. No X-Men this time, yay! ;-D
Wishing you and your yours good health and best wishes from 'tother side of pond. Two countries joined by their love of comics.

Sometimes a book just speaks to you. The Master Comics book was meant to be in your possession.

He BAITED YOU ?
Yep, here comes Mike…… where did I put those 2- Comics, Ahhh here they are .
Hey, Mike ? Remember these ?

Master comics

It’s so funny to me seeing you flip through all those great ASM and FF books and say “I’m having no luck, I haven’t got anything! There’s nothing good here!” Meanwhile I’m watching this thinking “I need lots of those for my runs!!” Great video as always, awesome pickups! Those Master Comics are so underrated. And that’s an absolutely beautiful WW2 cover! I’ve been wanting to start getting more WW2 era books myself, especially the 1 staple books. I love the history behind it.

Man! Solid comics! Great pick ups! There were definitely a few I would have bought for my pc! Doug's tent was obviously the best! Thanks for sharing!

Love the Master Comics. Pretty good price!

I for sure think that the Master Comics is way cool, love the cover and the fact that it's still around after so long..... nice get!!!!

The Captain Marvel Jr. art is beautiful.

i just want to say i really love your vids pls upload more 🙏🏽

Hi Mike, once again entertaining and informative. Regarding size and pickups no worries, remember you are taking some of us to places we will never get to and the sights and commentary are awesome 😊

That master comics cover is so sweet. The colors look awesome!!

With the Broomfield flea market being so large, I was wondering, have you ever had the opportunity to walk the entire flea market on the same day?

Mac Raboy's cover is stunning, he was an artist way ahead of his time. And the soldier directly behind Capt. Marvel Jnr. on the left bears a certain resemblance to Telly Savalas as he appeared in one of my favourite war movies, "Kelly's Heroes" - eerie.

master comic #41 is a cool cover.

I love Fiction House Comics and WWII Master Comics are amazing. I’ve got a Master Comics with Mac Raboy cover. Captain Marvel Jr. is spanking Hitler and Hirohito. Nice books!

Love it! Glad you finally got the book. And I love that we are able to call each other while hunting. Thanks for the shoutout brother.

The Masters Comic you picked up is FANTASTIC!!!!! I have always loved GA books, mostly for the covers and the war propaganda adds. Such a great story to get criminals to pay their fair share in the war effort! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!

good stuff. you went right past a Mister Miracle #1, that looked nice

Awesome episode considering i’m the guy who purchased the TMNT set from Doug. So look forward to connecting with you in the future and i would love to get that last signed copy and The Captain Marvel Book also the Green Lantern 1st appearance of John

Were the keys in that box 50% off? If so I would have taken that whole box lol

fantastic haul mike

jungle comics are too cool! nice score.

Any day, is a good day hunting comics.

How's the parking at Brimfield? I live nearby-ish, but I've honestly never been because I feel like the traffic and parking is going to be a nightmare

Great score, Mike. The covers on those two issues are awesome.

While both comics have amazing cover art, the use of color on the Master Comics is stunning! The hunt for these two comics clearly made your day worthwhile. Thanks for sharing the history of the comics and the video!

Nice pickups! It was very unusual this video to see Brimfield so dead, and the comics you got! They are definitely very cool, great video👍

Oh man. I would love to have the Batman #1 Famous First Edition.

dude love the shirt

I been a mainline H addict since I was 18yo after 20 years of active addiction I'm now 7 months sober and still moving forward! Thank u for ur videos and the fact ur a truly honest and real human being, ur content keeps my fight for sobriety alive and after 20 years I'm back to collecting comics the one thing I always loved to do and I've invested 7 months of sobriety time, 7 months finances, 7 months dedication and I can proudly say I own over 100 comics 25% are 50$-$200 keys/first app/1st issues and I continue to collect, please keep the videos coming it gives me something to look forward to staying sober for!!!

2 great comics and you're correct. A "key" is in the eye of the beholder. Today we're too focused on Marvel and DC huge keys or what dealers call a key. Those books are 80 years old! Think about that. Fantastic!

Speculating ruined this market. It will crash again like it did in the 90’s

Cool pickups! I’m interested in getting in touch with Doug - do you have contact info you could pass along?

Key Collector is very useful but they have very few older books that are not superheros!

That Master Comics looks great especially considering how old it is. 81 years? Thats my mother’s age. Ancient. That’s one for the wall display imo. The other one is great to display too.

How do you guys find all these events like garage sales or flea markets? I live in Boston, but I never heard or seen something like this.

I think I would have purchased the star wars. 😮

Man. Those Archie's and Richie Rich et al comics look 'loved' but there is a big market for those books.

Both winner! You should show what wall comics come down when you replace them!

what are your thoughts in Younblood and Wildcast comics? I love them but you never heard about ppl collect them.

Love those old books. You got a great deal.that

That cover, sir, is mindblowing! I can't believe that it's from '43! WOW... the color just pops! It's such a cool cover... I'm jealous. :)
Great story too... so happy you were able to, finally, add it to your collection.
Again... you're just making me want to go rummage through yard sales and flea markets. lol :)
Thanks for yet another fun episode, Mike.
