Someone asked about pro-Commie comics. Closest I've ever seen is this 1941 anti-war Socialist comic. 5 3/4" by 3 1/2". Black and white throughout. Some grim stuff. Compare this to any of the Timely four color WWII images seen on other threads!

Threat To Freedom. From 1965. Slightly smaller than normal comic, full color comic story inside.

Design For Survival. At least three different versions.

Again, sorry it's not Gold. From 1960s, magazine sized, with gorgeous Russ Manning wraparound painted cover and book-length black and white interior art. Grab one if you can - this is the only copy I've ever seen and it's a great read!

From 1962, sorry it's not Gold. Not quite a comic book. A bunch of round-headed people with their fingers on their lips looking at charts and diagrams. Still worth a look.

Here's an unused slick cover. The artist on this and Double Talk is the great PETE COSTANZA, who worked on Captain Marvel, Jimmy Olsen, and the Legion of Superheroes, to name just a few.

There are at least three versions of Two Faces Of Communism. Self-Covered - no slick cover, 16 pages - White hair, yellow "Faces" Self-Covered - no slick cover, 16 pages - Grey hair, orange "Faces" Slick Cover - 20 pages The self-covered version leaves the last panel of the last page (the back cover) blank. Sometimes they are found imprinted with a promotional message. The slick covered version includes another story panel on the last story page.

Nice find! I've never seen or heard of that book. Who produced it?

Stiff Mylar usually protects a book well. These bricks often have built in "backing boards" - covers of heavy or stiff cardboard - which makes them a pleasure to hold and read. But sometimes that also made the covers prone to creasing and cracking, making well-preserved copies of some titles tough to find.

Some stunning books on this thread. Thanks for showing them. Plat is where it's at! Just posted on a thread about Plat storage - E. Gerber Mylar Archives Item #1218R fits many Plat age comics perfectly.

Little Al Of The F.B.I. #10 Ziff Davis

Good grief! It's a miracle those books survived in that shape!

Great copy and the letter is a nice piece of history!
