Warfront #6 (Harvey; May 1952).  Grade = 3.5 VG- ow-wh.  Price = $12.
Nifty Lee Elias "head shot" cover.  If you're thinking this deserves to be on my Top-10 Harvey war covers list, you're correct!  Lee Elias, Bob Powell, and Jack Sparling story art.  Cover detached at bottom staple.  Faint/light moisture stain on upper third of back cover.  Skillfully sealed ½" tear at middle left edge of back cover.

Warfront #4 (Harvey; Mar 1952).  Grade = 3.5 VG- ow-wh.  Price = $8.
Lee Elias cover.  Lee Elias, Rudy Palais, Bob Powell, and Jack Sparling story art.  No major flaws, just general wear.  Probably qualifies as a CGC 4.0, but why push it?
