[Jimmy Linguini]

now i'm interested in seeing how much one of those bad boys would set me back.

[Rip]

Much more than what it would cost for a AF15 in the same grade

[comicjack]

Picked that Suspense recently at an estate sale it's complete but worn.

Just picked this up from Bedrock. Rare to me as are all high grade Frankensteins. One of only five graded and tied for top census and a crippen copy. Thanks Richard,.

Suspense 3 reposted not as rare as Gerber reported but rare enough for here.

 

 

Very nice copy of this book, and you were lucky enough to find a complete one at that. You have nice registration on this one too, the Schomburg signature is nicely visible.

 

My copy is not nearly as nice, and I'm missing the centerfold story like sooooo many of them are. Personally, my theory is that some of the books got put together without the centerfold story at all. You either find the books missing the entire story, or it has the entire story. What are the odds of loosing all or none of the pages?

 

83 Days in a Life Raft, and the last panel in the story says "And so after 83 days they were rescued, thus ending one of the most harrowing adventures ever experienced by man! Don't miss the next Terrific Comics!" From similar panels in other stories it appears that Suspense #3 was put together from various stories intended for both Suspense and Terrific Comics.

 

Any way you could photograph that centerfold story for us? Thanks for sharing it.

Timely has a great thread on this: Suspense 3 centerfold.

I have one of the Silver Streak #nn's. That Torture meter cracks me up.

 

"Severe Headache". Ha Ha I guess the hammer side of the axe is for the "severe headache", and the blade side of the axe is for the "Unbearable Agony".

 

Just too funny. Ha Ha Ha Ha

That nn cover is colorful, goofy, and just plain bizarre.

 

I've passed in the past because it's a reprint book (already having most of the original stories), but I've gotta get me one of those if only for that cover alone.

[pmpknface]

That Silver Streak cover is key! I hope the new Dark Horse reprints eventually get to that one. They seem to only be focused on Daredevil, but you never know....
