Way back on October 26, 2007, I reported the sale of a copy of the ultra rare Zeppelin Stories #3 (June 1929) for an astounding $3,183.33. The Holy Grail of ape collectibles, the issue features a magnificent cover that showcased Gil Brewer’s “Gorilla of the Gas Bags.” The story itself has never been reprinted.

Another copy has surfaced. Beginning February 25, Adventure House is auctioning off the entire collection of legendary pulp collector/historian Frank Robinson, save for one prominent item. The lusted after Zeppelin Stories #3 shall be auction individually by the esteemed Heritage Auctions, February 22-23.

Anyone have an extra $4-5 grand to pick one up for me? I’ll be your best friend.
