I was referencing this book on a thread I started in regard to scarcity and Gerber Index. By my crazy math I figure there might be around 40 copies which would exist in 6.5 grader or higher. Whole thing prompted me to send my copy in to CGC, where it sits today waiting for its slabation.

Been on the lookout for this book for a while.

 

I know now that they were reprints from daily newspaper strips...but at

the time I bought them I had never read them...so they were new to me.

I'm not sure, but I believe this issue of FLASH GORDON is the first with original

story and artwork...previous comics featured reprinted newspaper strips.

How times have changed. Nowadays instead of a board with a nail in it the kid would have an AK47. I have several books in my collection with the same theme. A later Robin Star Spangled and an Atlas Justice come to mind. Wertham would have been all over this one.
