I have 100s of MAD, underground and regular comic books for sale on my web site at great prices, many priced for just a few dollars! Press here for listing.

For shipping, I will send the comic with a double stiffener by USPS First Class Mail for only $3.25 to any address in the USA. Reduced postage for multiple issues purchased at the same time from eBay or my web site. I'm not like some Internet sellers who build big profits into shipping and screw the buyer.

Who am I? My web identity is SwapMeetDave, but I'm actually David Ahl, founder of Creative Computing, ex-editor of Military Vehicles, writer, incurable collector, and Christian. When you have time, take a look at my on-line carnival and flea market at SwapMeetDave.com, which is chock full of new clean jokes, patriotic pics, books, magazines, my bio, handyman humor, and other good stuff.

I accept payments by check or PayPal. I ship the day I receive your payment or notification of payment from PayPal. Thank you!
