mrmyst Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Picked this up in Baltimore. I'd always been intrigued by this book. The robot story is just as good as the cover, I was happy to discover! Edited September 9, 2014 by mrmyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PovertyRow Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Just picked this one up from a boardie. (thumbs u Was trying to stick to midgrade books for affordability, but couldn't resist this one! Wow! This is a cover I have never seen before! Did not know it even existed! Absolutely amazing and gorgeous condition! It is covers like this that makes going to a higher grade feel justified.

Murderous Gangsters displays stories with a lot of gruesome murdering, eh eh. Nice! Murderous Gangsters - what to say - its Avon!!! Amazing Detective Cases was a favorite precode horror title. Only 4 issues were true horror: #11 (3/52) thru #14 (9/52), so you got the first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PovertyRow Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Wow! Great painting on that Murderous Gangsters cover. I wonder who did it? According to GCB it may have been Carl Burgos: Pencils:Carl Burgos ? Inks:Carl Burgos ? Colors:Stan Goldberg *** Update *** OK - as Scrooge pointed out later on, the above is for Amazing Detective Cases. The skinny on the Avon Murderous Gangsters is here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=15&Number=8024599&Searchpage=1&Main=29960&Words=+PovertyRow&topic=0&Search=true#Post8024599 Edited September 11, 2014 by PovertyRow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
