Scarce-In-Mid-Grade Issue Of The Increasingly Popular Long-Running Series. This Is From Early 1951, When The Pre-Code Horror Craze Was Just Beginning, And It's Got The Ubiquitous Shocking Content And Supernatural Themes. This will be sent out in an archival Mylar comic sleeve for safe long-term preservation. THIS ANTIQUE COMIC HAS AN ORIGINAL PRICE OF .10. It's intact and complete with a heavy color strike and it's supple and flat and bright. There is some light general surface and edge wear but it looks real nice in the included mylar sleeve, but when you take it out and look closer you can see that the back cover has some smudges and edge flaws and blemishes, as seen in our assorted photos. Otherwise the comic looks quite nice with clean edges and a smooth front surface, just some minor bumps and dings you can observe when holding the comic at various angles under the light. Inside the salacious pages it's sharp: complete and flat and clean and well preserved, with no creases, stains, or writing although some pages have a tiny edge tear in the upper margin at the top center edge. All in all, this is an attractive example. The colors are still vibrant, and impressive gloss is retained; So you get a solid unrestored copy with great eye-appeal without spending the premium for a certified example that is forever out of reach in a trendy slab. Crucial fare for any fan of American pop culture from the middle of the twentieth century. I'M OFFERING THIS IMPORTANT COMIC AT A LOW PRICE, WITH NO RESERVE, -- SO DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE! MATERIAL LIKE THIS SPOTLIGHTING ICONIC THEMES OF FILM, PULP FICTION, CINEMA AND LITERATURE NEVER LOSES APPEAL. This will be carefully bagged and boarded in ARCHIVAL MYLAR, with an acid-free backing-board, and packaged very well to ensure safe delivery.
