Here's a Rare Oddity from Centaur Comics , I picked up a few weeks back. It has beautiful white pages, nice colors but a mouse chew on lower spine. Gerber gives it a 8. I know I've never seen one before in years. Cover by Bill Everett . Published in Sept. 1938. A interesting note:I was looking through my collection a couple of weeks back& came across a letter in Amazing Mystery Funnies Vol.2 no.# 8 by Joe Hardie "the publisher" of Centaur Comics. Now this book AMF Vol. 2 # 8 is almost a year later, has a Ad on the inside front cover stating : Buy any 3 Centaur comics"latest" ,tear off the tops of the comics where the title is ,send it in with a 2 cent stamp "postage" & a note with your name & address & we'll rush you your FREE Comic!! This tells me it wasn't a great seller when it hit the newstands. Plus I wouldn't call it a comic book per se , but it does fit the qualifications 64 pages ,etc. Centaurs were known for there ,not so quite Great disrtibution system.
From what I gather when they folded as a Comics company , Joe Hardie still published years afterwards with crossword puzzle books . Maybe Jon Berk, if he's reading this could give us some insights on this book of how it was a odd 1 shot amongst there other comics at the time ,such as Funny Pages, Amazing Mystery Funnies, etc.
