Chief1332 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 My buddy has this book. Not sure what it is. It looks to be a precursor to a promo line of comics that came out in the 50's, Jim Solar, maybe. Size is approx 5 1/4" x 8 1/4 ", larger than the Jim Solar line of books. These are the only pictures I am able to get. He says it does not look to be coverless, but fully intact. fc, bc, and centerfold. If you can assist in identifying it further, I would appreciate it.

grendelbo Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 7.0 The format reminds me of Mouse Guard - hard to store with other books. Neat book. I couldn't find squat about it. Thanks for sharing. Chief1332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidShredder Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Wow, what a strange and interesting piece of history. This is right after corporations (with the aid of organized crime and the police) eased up on murdering and beating union members and their families for striking. It was drawing too much attention, so they needed different tactics. I guess this was one of them. "Free" comic books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
