SOLD VIA PM Frederic Wertham's paper from April 1941 entilted "The Matricidal Impluse", a Dark Legend precursor, to the September 1941 publication of Dark Legend, where for the first time he makes a connection between comic books and crime in The Dark Legend. This the only known copy of this publication outside of the Library of Congress (There is a copy in Frederic Wertham's papers at LOC). Note: Fredric Wertham's Manhattan address is on the rear page and this was very likely distributed by Mr. Wertham (Offprint) himself. See below article: https://www.lambiek.net/comics/wertham_fredric.htm Particularly the following from the text of the above article link: Theories about comics "He focused on the influence of culture and environment on criminal behavior, resulting in the book 'Dark Legend' (1941), about the true story of a 17-year-old who killed his mother. Dr. Wertham noted how the boy lived in a fantasy world, influenced by movies, radio plays and comic books. This was the first time Wertham linked comics to crime, and in his following work he took this link even further. His theories paralleled a rise of more violent comic books. Since the 1930s several detective comics, war comics and superhero comics had become bestsellers" Sold via PM

Harley Yee had a stack of them literally about 7 copies in high grade about 10 years ago

Thanks for the update Kevin.

I too did not see a vendor list to accompany the floorplan.

I would never even entertain that thought....I could never replace the historically, rare and important esoteric books I have taken decades to amass.

Bought these raw as a set back in 2000 and they were my first CGC Submission..

These came out of a basement in Montreal about a decade ago....I have since had all of them certified by CGC. These books are known as Canadian whites.

I am very streamlined in my collecting, but anti-communist giveaway comics are a focus for me....

Thank you so much!

Hi Kevin do you have an exhibitors list of Comic vendors as of yet?

Steven Spielberg owns the original artwork to Mad number one by Harvey Kurtzman

I noticed last night a seller named eddiesrecords listed hundreds of key golden age and silver and bronze age books. The location is listed as Los Angeles but when you look at their business info they are located in the United Kingdom. All those listings were pulled last night and now listed under bckclk1 also showing location as Los Angles. The business info still puts them in the UK accordingly Link to one of their auctions for a CL25: https://www.ebay.com/itm/384720795558?hash=item59932577a6:g:IlsAAOSwM8thmnRx At in the item description regarding the Cinderella Love # 25 it states: WE ACCEPT FAST SALE FOR THIS ITEM AT THE PRICE OF: 6000 US$ STOCK NUMBER: W22A20928 Each item they listed that is a large dollar item they also state you have an option for a "Fast Sale" purchase, yet there is NO BIN. Could be perfectly legit. I just thought I would give a heads up.

This.....High grade copy I acquired recently in a collection...

The sheer ignorance of sellers never cease to amaze me Talk about leaving money on the table. To add insult to injury he mentions not ONLY GGA but mentions Baker in title....

The signature was not affected in anyway shape or form
