Beautiful Balloons with Maggie Thompson - Another Secret behind the Secrets behind ...

The Wise Beyond His Years Tony Isabella was absolutely correct (in his response to my earlier posting) in pointing out that there was, indeed, a second edition of Stan Lee's Secrets Behind the Comics.

The first edition, of course, was released in 1947, and prices at BookFinder.com for the booklet ranges from $78.50 to (gulp) $354.50.

The second edition (hardcover with black-and-white dustjacket, limited to 700 copies) came out in 1994 from Marvel. Bookfinder has it at prices ranging from $117.50 to $210.10.

Hi, Maggie! Thanks for these posts--Hate to say I was unfamiliar with this publication! Just curious, though--when you say, "pamphlet", do you mean that literally or was it a saddle-stitched magazine format? What was the original purpose of the edition if it's so rare--publicity for Timely, trade circulation, or...? Again, very curious.

Thanks very much,
Mike
