Ya, that is right, Hitler's Ear...and worm crawling out of it...while sitting on his skull and bones throne... :o

 

I looked for quite a while before I found this copy - bought it raw a number of years ago, finally had it slabbed. Some creasing on the front cover but a chunk out of the back cover really dropped the grade down. Think it looks a hell of a lot better than it technically grades. I could never have afforded a real high grade copy. I don't think there are loads of these slabbed. Schomburg's cover is killer in my opinion on this issue - how can you top this. Throne of bones and skulls. Crazy cover...

 

Anyone else have this book in better condition than my measly 1.0, please post your copies, would love to see 'em... :grin: Definitely one of my favorite MMC covers and I think, the best Hitler cover of the 1940s. I know there are others, but I like this one best... :cloud9: and I do have a nice copy of Mystic #7. This is still my favorite.

 

Discuss...what is the relevance of this issue? Best war time Hitler cover? Is there as much demand for this issue as other Hitler covers? I am interested in other opinions and thoughts on this specific Hitler issue.

 

Discuss... Thanks! :)

 

Here is my "stunning" low grade copy... :cloud9: Blue label :cloud9: Never pressed :grin:

Here's my lowly 2.0! Long considered a classic, but compared to the surrounding issues it's not nearly as tough as the classic superplane cover 44 (per CGC census data) with 16 universal graded copies vs. just 8 for the 44.

West's 9.0 copy appears to be from the San Francisco pedigree! :cloud9:

 

One of the only GA pedigrees for which I do not have a sample of and will now, most likely never have in my collection. Especially after passing on 2 Marvel Mystery SF's in my first SD Con back in the early 90's. Jon Warren was unaware they were SF copies and had them priced at only guide. I took the Captain America instead because it appeared to be in nicer shape than the 2 SF Marvel Mystery books. doh!

Do you remember what issues the 2 Marvel Mystery's were?
