In the past few weeks Gwandanaland has deleted more than just Fawcett books.  Charlton and Quality Comics books apparently were also renewed.  So I went ahead and ordered two Charlton books, The Blue Beetle Giant, which combines two previous books in one, and Charlton Heroes Vol. 2 before it was too late.  I assumed both would be delivered at the same time and both would be new.  I was surprised to hear each one was being delivered by two different states.  The Blue Beetle Giant was jammed into my mailbox and I had to go to the post office to complain.  I arranged to pick up packages at the post office.  Well the Charlton Heroes book came the next day and I ran outside to talk to the carrier.  She folded the book in half in my mailbox!  I told her not to do that anymore.  So my arrangement to pick up the book didn't work.  Worse, I discovered I had purchased a used book printed in July that was somewhat nicked and damaged.  Strangely, the book itself had the Modern Comics cover of one issue instead of the Charlton version.  I let the publisher know about these issues I had and he was upset to hear Amazon sold me a used book when their website had no mention of it being used.  He admitted to making a mistake when choosing the cover.  Well today I got word that finally, due to the delay created by the Createspace and Kindle merger, my Shock Gibson and Doctor Nemesis books are now shipped.  Time will tell whether I get them in good shape or not.

Fingers crossed they are in good shape and your mail carrier doesn't fold them in half again.
I'm a fan of the Shock Gibson stories.  What a great name!  They had a unique look and feel about them that make me smile.

People confuse Modern Comics with Charlton. Modern Comics published more than just Charlton reprints. They reprinted some King Features titles in a Treasury size format. They reprinted a Marvel Treasury comic. They released some rebound Archie comics in a square bound format. They had the license to publish Voltron. There was a checklist online.

Crimson-Blue-Green:
Today I got both books in a cardboard box protected further by crumpled paper.  It was delivered by UPS not USPS.  The books look good, much better than the Charlton books that are now unavailable.  There are typos on the back of the Nemesis book, but that's a small complaint.  This is much better.

Congrats that they came through without damage this time for you. And that they are "new" this time.
