PGM Crime SuspenStories #22 - beheading cover

[snitzer]

The Crime Reporter went over well and received some decent attention soooo here's another one on a slow Friday at work - Crime SuspenStories #22 (classic cover)

 

Purchased this off eBay from some disgruntled wife (that was the story at least) a few years ago. She actually had it listed in SA only and I just happen to find it through a site-wide search. Everything is attached. Thanks! (thumbs u

Looks like the printer used a dull axe to trim that book!

 

Hard to see the back cover... a bit washed out... but the front presents well even with the tear.

 

3.0

[snitzer]

I agree. The b/c looks like it was trimmed with a weed whacker! The b/cs on some of my recent scans are running a little "hot" and I was curious as to how they would look with no contrast/brightness manipulation - now I know.

Wasnt that one of the covers used by that Seduction of the inocent guy When he went before congress in the 50s. Leading into EC Comis demise and the begginings of the COMICS CODE AUTHORITY?

Really gory cover for the time even with the black blood. 4.0

Wish it was mine

Where's Chromium?

[bronzilla]

Man that dude looks a little uptight

[Paratrooper]

9.3!

[snitzer]

Why not a 9.4?

[gernblanston]

3.0 with the lawnmower restoration.

[bronzilla]

Paratrooper.. I am continually amazed at your grading skills...You are allways spot on (thumbs u

I have tons of comics in the 9.2 9.3 9.4 range I would love to sell you.

[snitzer]

You'll hear no complaints from me

[gernblanston]

Welcome to the boards Snitzer. Don't take offense to the lower grades, you have a nice book, just too much restoration. Post some more books.

[bronzilla]

Restoration??? : :where???

 

Oh I get it!

What can I say? Paratrooper does good work

[JohnT]

3.0.

 

The most ridiculous cover in the history of comics (that I know of). Way to take the whole industry down with you, Mr. Craig!

[divad]

 

Uh, I don't see anything wrong with that cover . . . a tad suggestive, perhaps

3.0/3/5

I think it would score a 4.0 from CGC since that bad cut is production related.
