REALLY nice tight copy, with classic “EYE SEES” cover art.

 

¼” spine splits at top and bottom. About 3/8” dust shadow at bottom of front cover (and to lesser degree, back cover). Inside covers are fairly tanned, especially at bottom edge. Paper is nice and supple, and cover and centerfold is still firmly attached.

 

Sharp copy of a rare book!!

Restoration work detected consists of spine reinforcement, which runs pretty much the whole length of the spine. Possible staple replacement as well. A few very small tear seals to inside cover.

 

Clean covers, “1940” written on F/C in pencil. Great gloss and color. Inside covers very light, C/F and cover firmly attached. Wonderful light O/W pages.

 

Lots of classic material in this copy!

MYSTIC COMICS #5, Mar 1941. Raw, apparent 5.0 (moderate resto), with cream to O/W pages.

 

Loaded early Timely! Price has been further reduced from early sales threads.

 

Resto work consists of small ¼” piece fills at top and bottom of spine (and slight color touch to area). Top staple is reinforced on inside of cover. Cover could have been cleaned, but doesn’t feel like it.

 

Otherwise, clean covers, light inside covers, and nice supple creamy pages. Cover firmly attached to staples. . Top staple at C/F is holding C/F in place, but paper is slightly mangled. Sounds worse than it is. Bottom staple at C/F firm.

 

Great stories by Gustavson, Bob Davis, Harry Sahle, and a wonderful Guardineer “MOON-MAN” story.

 

Back cover photo available upon request.

 

Asking: $450

SECRET AGENT X pulp, vol.10/#1, April 1937. Approx. VG grade. Untrimmed.

 

This copy would be a near FINE, except for the rodent chew to the side edge of front cover. Other than that, The spine is full and unfaded, paper is unbelievably off white, covers are clean and glossy (some light staining to front cover around 2.5" from bottom, but it is almost unnoticeable unless held to light at the correct angle ... you can faintly see it in the photo).

 

Asking: $85

Nice stuff.

Can you please show me another shot without the hand. The hand is extremely distracting and I'm unable to make my mind up about the book.

Sorry Roy, but the hand comes with the book. I didn't want to remove it for fear of damaging the back cover.
