What did this poor guy do to that sniper to have him aiming where he is aiming?

Well, it's Saturday, so I guess 9:50 is **kinda** early, so here are a couple (kinda) Early Birds

Large Feature 9, King of the Royal Mounted 1940
Second ever issue, after Feature Book 1 from 1937
Far and away the nicest Large Feature I've owned, and probably the best I've ever seen. 
Measuring 8-1/2 x 11-3/8 it is quite large, a bit larger than a sheet of typing paper, and too large for my scanner bed. 

Flat and square, this item has a matte finish cover, and I took close ups of the flaws.  Chip out lower edge FC, tiny
tear and not-quite dogear upper RH FC, chip out upper spine BC. That's it. clean, clean copy. Cream pages, but 
supple, no hint of brittleness. 

Only one sale listed on GPA, a 9.0 sold almost ten years ago for $947
Overstreet 8.0 is $343. I'm asking $250 and I'm pretty firm at that price, I don't mind hanging on to this one. 

EDIT: In picture 5 that white spot near the spine is  just a random piece of whatever, not something stuck to the book. Must have been something on the work table when I laid it out for the pix.

I'll be back this afternoon with a bit of mixed grille, and this evening with the next batch of 50's war books. 
Tonight it's all DC,  a stack of Our Army at War and a stack of Our Fighting Forces. 
I should finish off everything left tomorrow afternoon and evening with more DC, Atlas, and a handful of oddballs. 

Stay tuned!

Great cover by  Louise Altson! It reminds me of the movie Junior Prom starring the Teenagers. If you're ever tragically bored and want to escape to the wholesome goodness of postwar America, look that one up.
