Hopalong Cassidy and the Mad Barber 1951 SOTI Bond Bread. (p308/309)

 

Hard to find at any price. I just upgraded mine and need some paypal scratch. (2 ever graded.)

 

I put this on the PGM thread awhile ago and people were saying between 8-9.2

 

So lets say an 8.0.

 

$150 plus $10 shipping in North America.

 

First gets it.

 

Children have shown me a comic book which mothers must think is "good." It is produced by one of the biggest comic-book publishers, is given away free by a famous-brand food manufacturer and has the name of Hopalong Cassidy on it. It shows an insane" barber running loose with a sharp razor. He ties an old man to the barber's chair, brandishing a razor.

 

The old man: "He's stropping the razor! And he's got that mad look on his face! He'll cut my throat! GULP!"

 

A close-up follows with the face of the old man bound to the chair, the face of the barber, the knife and the neck. The same scene is shown a second time, and a third. Then comes Hoppy, twists the barber's arm backward and knocks him out so he sees stars: "WHAM!"

 

I have talked to children about this book. They do not say this book is about the West, or about Hopalong Cassidy, or about a barber. They say it is about killing and socking people and twisting their arms and cutting their throats.
