Looking for a comic

[Nedley]

I know this is asking a lot but I saw an incredible cover from a Horror or Fanstasy comic book that has a woman dressed like a death head moth attacking a man with a group of smaller death head moth men. I've tried a ton of searches on google, etc. to no avail. Can anybody help me with this, it would be very very appreciated.

Not related to the OP's comic, but I am looking for confirmation of the existence of Adventures Of Dover Boys #2.  There's an almost five year old thread where JVJ mentions having a copy on order from Terry's Comics.  Wondering if anyone is able to shed any light on this?  I've contacted Terry's already.  Thanks.

Any ideas as to how this was included in OPG would be appreciated as well.

The excellent GCD site seems to think there was no Dover Boys #2 Steve.

The moth cover rings a bell but I can't recall exactly which comic or number it was.

It probably doesn't exist, that's why the old thread grabbed my attention.  It also stated the comic was a "VG-", which is pretty specific.  Sometime between 82-85 Overstreet started listing #2 for some reason.

I suppose I might be wrong on Dover 2 but Oversteet has been wrong before too.  Sometimes on purpose.
There are a few fake books in the OSPG.  It helps them to protect their database for copyright reasons.
I saw a list somewhere of the fake books someone had found but dang if I can find it when I want it.

Those fake listings are probably the ones that say "rare" or "exists?".  Such as "The Black Phantom" #2 (ME) or "Nyoka the Jungle Girl" #9 - 13 (Charlton).  Mind you, I only own a well-worn 1986 edition of The Price Guide.  😃

Sorry, I can't recall any more details beyond 'yeah, they slipped some fake books in.'

Non-existant books?

Adventures of the Dover Boys (1950)  - #2

All Comics  (Chicago Nite Life; 1945)

Animal Crackers (1946) 1 & 2 do not exist;  (1950s) "nn, nd" -- no such thing, but there is a #9 (1957) published by Green that is not listed.... this is probably what the "nn" line refers to.

A-1 Comics #1 (1944)  does not exist... the nn (Kerry Drake) is actual #1.

Attack  (1953)  OPG accurately lists two #5s, but is a bit confusing... the first is dated Jan '53, and the second is dated  Sep  '53.

Battle Fire  (1955)  #7

Blue Beetle   #43

Camera Comics  (1944)  Two "nn" issues?

Captain and the Kids (1947+)  #1-15

Catholic Comics  (1946)  #1-4

Comedy Carnival (1950s)  This is not a separate comic, but is the same as "All-Picture Comedy Carnival"

Dime Comics #1  (1951)  There is a 1945 issue.

Dream Book of Romance #124 (#9) (1954)  Does not exist.  This is supposed to be part of the A-1 series, and there is an A-1 #124 -- but it is a humor issue titled "Hot Dog".

Family Funnies #9 (1946) 

Fightin' Marines #11 (Jan '53) There is no "Canteen Kate" by Baker in this issue... OPG has confused this with Approved Comics #11 ("Fightin' Marines") from Aug '54, which does have Canteen Kate.

Hercules  (1968)  OPG lists 2 "low distribution" magazine format issues for this Charlton title, #4 and #8.  The #4 does not exist.

Johnny Hazard  (1949)  Ran from #5 thru #8.  #35?

Jungle Jim (1949-1951)  #16-20

Katy Keene Fashion Book Magazine  OPG correctly lists that there are no #s 3 thru 10, but misses that there are no issues 11 and 12 either.  The title runs #s 1, 2 and then 13 thru 23.

Keen Detective Funnies (1940)  vol. 3#2

Kid Colt Outlaw  (1950s Album)  OPG lsits this as 132 pages in b&w with cardboard covers.... but it does not seem to exist.  British or Canadian reprint?

Liberty Comics  (1945)  Issue #5

Love Tales #59 (Marvel)

Love Trails #2  (Marvel)

Merry-Go-Round Comics  (1944)  #21

My Secret Life #27 (1950)  Double-entry in OPG... there is no 1950 issue, but the Sep '51 issues does exist.

Private Buck (1941)  There is no Large Feature #22 with Private Buck.

Strange Story #1 (1946)  Although some original art exists, the title was never actually piblished.

Super Duper (Harvey, 1941)  There is a #3 issue from Howard, and there is one or more obscure issues from Britain,  there is a Super-Dooper comic from Harvey, but the #5, #8, and #11 issues listed by OPG here do not exist.

Sweetie Pie  (1955-1957)  There are no issues 3 thru 14.  There are only 3 issues.... 1, 2 and 15.

Sweet Romance #1 (1968)  Charlton.  Does not exist.

United States Marines   #s 7 thru 11 by Toby do not exist.

Varsity (1945)  Another title I can't confirm.... possibly this is a magazine and not a comic book?

Vic Flint   (1949)  #s 3 thru 5 do not appear to exist.
