WHIZ COMICS #1 Tell me what I have 0

[Dogsupreme]

I am under no illusions that I found something cool but I am flustered by this comic.

Over the weekend I helped a friend's grandmother clear out her garage and found this comic wedged between a huge stack of magazines from the 1940s -1970s.

I asked her about it and she said it belonged to her late husband. She knew i collected comics and let me have it in return for helping her clean out her garage. Now I am familiar with TREASURY reprints and the scam of trimming them so at first I thought this was the case. But then I wondered why her husband would have a trimmed Treasury comic? Also the feel of the book did not feel right for a modern comic (I could be wrong of course).

So I am asking the experts what they think this is? A trimmed TREASURY edition or something else. Any info would help. Thanks.

Famous First Edition reprints without their dustcover measure roughly 10X13.5” if I remember correctly.

It's a Treasury. It's missing the 2nd bad guy on the cover and some of the bricks.

I forgot the Famous First Editions were missing stuff on their covers too. FFE Action #1 also suffers from that as well.

I thought so. Oh, well. At least it was free. I always thought they looked different though and had a card stock cover.

That is just a brain melting comic book.

I think that funny ground effect happens when you scan at high DPIs. It's a moire pattern created by the dots in the four colour printing process. My
