PEP COMICS #30

Apparent 2.0 (trimmed, c.t.) ow pages.

The book appears trimmed on the right and bottom edges. The color touch at the top left is actually on the splash, an amateur attempt to disguise a chip. There are several pieces of tape along the spine edges of the book, some doubled on the inside as well. All are visible on the back cover scan. On the front, in addition to the spine there is a piece at the bottom, and one at the 10¢ on the right edge. There is tape at the staples, and it's possible the cover was detached at one point. 

Someone went overboard in taping any small edge or spine tear, and the ones at the top and bottom don't appear to be covering splits. There is a one inch split at the middle of the spine.

As shown in the scan, there is also  a long chip out near the spine, it looks like it may have been the result of a mylar snag at one point. The piece is still present, and included. 

Pages are supple and the book is easily readable.

A compromised but not unappealing copy of one of the tougher Peps, with an awesome Montana branding and bondage cover.

Spine split at top just above top staple - cover is still attached. 1" split at bottom. Tape over bottom staple.

Classic Cover.

Gruesome stories; Man eaten by ants, acid in face story, fingers dissolved in acid story.
