You're definitely tugging at my heartstrings with those Charleton horror books. I actually have the issue of Ghost Manor that is the first appearance of Doctor Graves. Great comics. Awesome haul! Wish I could have gone through those dollar boxes.

They really are great books! I was so excited to find them. It was a lot of fun digging through all the books!

Charlton's for a buck each?? Sign me up for that! I remember going to a store when I was a teenager and they had the entire run of that original Secret Six for a buck each. So I picked up the run for a buck each. They had a lot more great stuff, but went out of business before I had a chance to grab them. Great pick-ups!!

Absolutely! Same here.

The pence copies were not discounted prices, that was the exchange rate at the time. The T&P stamp was Thorpe & Porter, who was the British importer and distributor of American comics. I bought those Atlas comics off the spinner racks in the UK in 1975. Not many of their comic range reached 4 issues. Nice pick ups you got there.

God I wish I could find a garage sale like that. So jealous. There were so many comics there I'd love to buy, and prices all seemed pretty good.

Cool comics! Most of those I’ve never even heard of, very interesting to see them. Great pickups!

Charlton Comics must have had odd distribution areas...didn't find many in the many collections I bought in 1970s and 1980s...the Ghost series had nice covers...the Mandrake comic was distributed in a three pack when I was a kid ...used to see this book a lot along with Flash Gordon and Phantom In mint shape put in those packs, probably had leftover warehouse copies. Atlas comics were such poor sellers used to see being wholesaled for 2 cents each in big quantities back in 1980s.

Not sure if you’re saying that’s what I did, but once I’m done filming I always tidy up the boxes and leave them better than I found them. Proper comic etiquette.

Nice to you see you pick up more titles from other publishers from the Bronze Age. There's not a lot of love for Charlton and Gold Key titles, but they are very tough to locate in high grade. There are collectors who do look for anything Steve Ditko and he did a tremendous amount of work for Charlton in the 70s. A bit of an acquired taste, but there is something mystical about his horror covers. I've never even heard of Pine Comics, what a unique find!

Thanks so much! I like Ditkos art but some is definitely an acquired taste. I’m a big fan of Charlton and any lesser known titles from the silver and Bronze Age.

How often does this seller have one of these garage sales?

This was his first one I believe, so I’m not sure how often he will keep doing them. If you live near by and want to visit, I’d follow his instagram or Facebook page to stay updated. It’s called Elite Comic Sales.
