The Closet of Lost Souls

Action Comics 231
Jimmy is still wacky, even when he is not in his own book. This example from 1957.
Asterix the Gaul
The first volume of the Asterix series from 1977. At the time this paperback was printed, Asterix was published in 27 different countries and an equal number of languages, with all the puns intact.
Flames of Gyro
Golden Age artist Jay Disbrow produced this oddity that was published by Fantagraphics in 1979. A 48 page magazine done in B&W.
The Frightened Fish
The 4th all-new Doc Savage adventure published by Bantam. 1992. Written by Will Murray, the book is very collectible because it contains a checklist for all the original pulps with author credits.
Forgotten Fantasy #2
Continues the reprinting of The Goddess of Avatabar along with stories by Lord Dunsany, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and Voltaire. Cover by George Barr.
Far Below and other horrors
Produced by Starmount House in 1974, this anthology contains 10 stories and a poem, all but one from Weird Tales and all selected for their quality and rarity. Good stuff. Paperback.
Selling Death Short
The 14th volume in the Dennis McMillan Fredric Brown series. Hardback printed in 1988. Introduction by Francis Nevins, Jr.
Golden Age Greats 8
8 stories with art by L.B. Cole, Nick Cardy, Matt Baker and others. Excellent background information by Bill Black. Also, a Lady Luck story by Klaus Nordling (something they don't tell you on the cover.)!
Secret of the Earth Star
The only place you can find 7 of Kuttner's short stories printed by Starmont House in 1991. Cover is by Bruce Timm, driving force behind the Warner Brothers Batman animated cartoons.
Shadow and the Golden Master
A new addition to the closet, this hardback was done by Mysterious Press in 1984. The Shiwan Khan novels reprinted here were the basis for the Alec Baldwin Shadow movie.
Savage Tales 1
Marvel's failed first entry into the B&W magazine market. First printing of "The Frost Giant's Daughter" drawn by Barry Smith. Cover by John Buscema. The story "Black Brother" was by Denny O'Neill using a pseudonym and has remained (mercifully) unreprinted.
Superman 184
Superman suffers again in 1966. Just how much torment can a hero stand?
