These are absolutely authentic. They are not all over Ebay because comics from the 40's-60's are extremely rare.

as i stated in my original post, i certainly believe it's possible that these are real. i just haven't seen any evidence that they are. with regard you your rarity assertion, there are like 150 hits for '1942 comic' with all sorts of comic books. with superman being the 'biggest' comic book, i would think that expecting these to be for sale on the world's largest collectible marketplace wouldn't be a big stretch.

this comics.org site does seem to confirm them though. i punched in one of the titles into it and it had all sorts of information regarding the writers and that sort of thing. i checked for ren & stimpy comics and other things i had known of and it had entire databases on them as well.

As a recovered comics nerd, I can very much vouch for these things being real. (i.e., people who I implicity trust on old comics boards have said that they are).

They're just really damn hard to find. I am slightly surprised you're not finding them on ebay though.

If you're really intersted, you might just check some of the larger used comic retatilers. I believe mile high comics was one of them.
