ScottRox these are called Education Comics. Or EC for short. If I remember correctly. I had one called The Wonders of Wire Rope from 1947 and I found an individual online via his website that is a diehard collector of these sorts of items. They can be very collectible. Mine was worth $330.00. Your value will depend on its condition. Are all the pages intact? Are the front and back cover in good shape? I would surmise its value would be in the range I mentioned above or higher. Hope this helps.
I found out that I had saved his link. Shoot James Halperin at the following website an e-mail with a picture of your comic book and see what he has to say about it. Keep me posted if you can. If not no big deal. Here it is: http://www.jhalpe.com/
Hello ScottRox!look's like electobacco ,Has got you on the right path.Some times ,I get a curve ball.But all is well.Thank you and thank electobacco.So remember keep read'm and collect'm there fun.Frosty21
electobacco & frosty, thanks for all the help so far. I tried to use the link electro & Norton blocked it & said the following....that the site has been reported as unsafe & has drive-by downlaods & explains as, A drive-by download is computer code that takes advantage of a software bug in a Web browser to make it do something that the attacker wants—such as run malicious code, crash the browser, or read data from the computer. Software bugs that are open to browser attacks are also known as vulnerabilities.
DANG!!!!!!!!! so do you have his emaill address??? because it says also that the site owner may not even know of these facts & that Norton can help the site owner to fix the site.
Rox
I have no idea why it would say that. Hopefully I wasn't infected by anything. I will have to check to make sure. His e-mail is Jim@HA.com. Good luck! Thank you as well for your effort on this Frosty21. Have a good weekend everyone! Gotta hop.... : )
Update, I got a reply from Jim & he said if in fact it was an EC it's worth was maybe 2 or 300 bucks. He said there would be the fact that it is an ec on the 1st page which I did not find so it's worth might be in the area of 20 bucks or so.
Thanks to all that helped.
