First up, Shadow Comics V2/2. Quite the rare bird, Overstreet tells us, and Ernie Gerber posts the wrong cover in the Photo Journal. January 1942, and somewhere along the way, a water encounter. Signatures on cover and splash page, that piece missing on the front cover and the unsightly wrinkles. Off-white pages though, and, Heritage argues, the rarest comic in the run. $350

Super Magician V4/5. The KKK cover, and a cool book with a strange wound: a puncture through the entire 1945 comic. Maybe someone was trying out the x-acto knife. Visible on all the photos (in the Klansman's robe on the front cover), but as you can see it doesn't take away much from the covers or the pages. A 6.0 otherwise, but let's all this a 3.0 since Jimbo sold a 3.0 back in August for $130. My price: SOLD

Super Magician goes to Edward Wendt via PM. Apologies, William, but that PM arrived 45 seconds earlier than your claim on the thread.

Two more books this afternoon. First up:

 

House of Secrets 92. First Swamp Thing. Berni Wrightson cover and art. Because of the crease on the lower right corner of the back cover, I have to grade it Fine-. A sweet key: SOLD.

Apologies. Just got back to the computer, and going through the PMs. In the meantime, here's the splash:
