Book is from the Henry R. Pekarek collection. His full name and and New York address in addition to the date stamp are on the top inside front cover. He also stamped his initials "H.R.P." and date of receipt, in this case "JAN 10 1941" on the front and back covers.

 

Very nice looking Timely.

Mystic Comics #7

Grade 8.0 (Cosmic Aeroplane Pedigree)

$3950

 

Very fine copy. Cosmic Aeroplane pedigree. Very nice off white and supple pages. Possible color touch? Location, two bricks above War Ministers head near spine. Hard to see. The word "Read" is written in blue ink on the top right margin of the first splash page. Does that mean anything to anyone? Priced right around 2009 Overstreet Guide.

 

Beautiful book!
