eBay

This is a newspaper-style zine, published and designed by Jim Steranko.

It started as Comixscene, then became Mediascene, finally devolving into pin-up mag Prevue. In the tabloid days, it was pretty great for news & opinions, and many issues have Steranko artwork that hasn't been reprinted elsewhere - and his design work is consistently stunning.

Published in the '70s and '80s, these are newsprint and shippd folded (as they will to you) - so even with careful handling and storage they can have small tears, yellowing, subscription mailing address stickers, etc.

As CGC says, all grading is subjective, so please look at the pics and decide for yourself.

This is from a large personal collection, carefully assembled over the last 30+ years.

I scrutinized these at comic shops and/or conventions before I bought and paid attention to getting the best condition copies I could.

The pics are magnifiable, and of the actual books you will be getting. I tried to include the edges of the books so you can see the areas where most damage typically occurs. Please take a moment to look at the scans so you can see what you're getting.

This is a great chance to get some wonderful books at bargain prices!

GRADING NOTE: All grading is subjective - so look at the pictures and make up your own mind. Of course if there are any problems, contact us!

WE PACK WELL! SEE DETAILS BELOW:

Individual Books will be shipped to US addresses by Ground Advantage mail, or if you prefer, there's another option for Priority Mail (at your expense, not free).

I’m also happy to ship in a box, but this is also more expensive (cost of box is greater than mailer and ads extra weight, which drives up postage costs). Again, if you want this, let me know & I’ll adjust your invoice.

For multiple purchases, they may ship by another method, depending on volume, location & cost.

If you want a specific service not already offered, contact us BEFORE you pay.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!

INFO FOR ALL BUYERS

OUR HOURS: We usually work a normal 5 day week, Monday-Friday, 9:30 to 5:30. If we are closed during normal business hours, you will see a notice on our listings page (usually by the listing title). We will respond to all e-mails, but typically answers will take 24 hours to arrive. Do not expect a response after hours or during the weekends or holidays.

SHIPPING METHODS: We use USPS for most shipments. In some cases we may use UPS instead, especially if the package is large or oversized, so don't take the shipping method listed as gospel - your purchase could be sent by either carrier, but the majority go by USPS.

SHIPPING FEES: We try hard to only charge actual cost + a fee of no more than $2.00 to cover materials, time, & other costs associated with each sale. On most items, we undercharge.

COMBINING SHIPPING: We are happy to do this for all customers, unless specifically stated in the listing, or if the items cannot be shipped together (for instance it's hard to send posters and records in the same package without damaging them, you get the drift).

HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT: DO NOT USE BUY IT NOW! Use “Add To Cart”. When you have all the items you want in your cart, the eBay system will calculate shipping & handling for multiple items when you check out.

WE ARE REASONABLE PEOPLE: If there’s a problem with your purchase, please contact us and let us know. As buyers too, we always want to provide you with a great buying experience!

OFFERS: Unless you see the "Make Offer" button on our listings, we are not interested in offers. If you must, please make it reasonable. Asking for 50% off won’t work. If you can find it for less, please, buy it there rather than haggle with us. Thank you in advance!

UNPAID WINNINGS: There seems to be a recent epidemic of dim-witted folks who don't understand the basics of eBay. Here we go: you buy, you pay, we ship (or you pick up in the rare case of pick-up only items), you get the merchandise. If payment is not made in the time specified, we will issue an unpaid item notice to eBay and you'll get a strike. The item will be re-listed and you'll be blocked from our auctions. We have absolutely zero interest in ANY excuses. If there is a problem with your PayPal account, don't buy until it's resolved. If you are expecting money from somewhere else to cover your purchase, don't buy until you have that money in your account. Your Grandmother explodes unexpectedly? She'd want you to honor your commitments. Don't let Grandma down! You let your monkey play online and he bought a bunch of stuff using your account? Tough luck! Next time, apply the lesson you've learned: be responsible and watch your monkey. In the meantime, it's your account & your responsibility - pay up! NO EXCEPTIONS!!

PAYMENT TIMELINE: Since we only accept PayPal, there's no reason that payment can't be made at the moment of purchase. We allow a 48 hour period to make a payment from the end of the auction (or, in the case of multiple purchases, 48 hours after you get an invoice with combined shipping, if shipping can be combined).

INFO FOR FOREIGN (EX-USA) BUYERS

SHIPPING METHODS & COSTS: Items must ship by Priority Mail or better. With comics like thus we can usually fit 5/6 safely into one flat rate Priority envelope. After that it gets risky.

Priority is usually faster than 1^st Class and includes insurance, but it costs more - minimum cost for a one pound package to even a nearby country like Canada is $21, and it goes up from there. EMS is faster, includes insurance and tracking, and is usually more expensive.

VALUES ON CUSTOMS FORMS & CUSTOMS FEES: We will NOT falsify customs forms for anyone - EVER! We buy plenty of stuff from around the world and sympathize with Customs fees, but don't ask or expect us to lie for you. If you have to pay customs and / or other fees in your country, this is your responsibility - not ours. If an item sent internationally is returned to us because the buyer refuses to accept it or to pay fees imposed by your local government or delivery service, we will not refund the S&H costs if the item is returned to us. Again, these costs are the buyer's responsibility, not the seller's.

DELIVERY TIMES: International Deliveries face various potential roadblocks that domestic shipments do not – customs officials & inspections in particular – so we cannot guarantee that any package will arrive within a specified period of time. Most packages do arrive within the estimates.
