War Stories #2 (Farrell; Nov 1952).  Grade = 0.5 PR (Incomplete) ow-wh.  Price = $8.  SOLD – Thank You!
Iger Studio.  Missing centerfold, aka interior pages 15-18 (which includes the two-page text story and the first two pages of the third comic story, "Two-Man Invasion").  1¼" split at spine bottom.  If not for the missing centerfold, I'd call this a 2.0 GD.

Iger Studio.  Arguably, the toughest issue of the title run, with no CGC-certified copies.  Clean, bright, and tight, with very fresh pages.

War Stories #2 goes to gunsmokin.  Smart choice!  How often can you snag a pre-code Farrell for $8.  And three books ship for the same price as one!  :preach:  Many thanks, once again, Jim!  :headbang:
