Startling 51 (1948) - Schomburg airbrush cover 0

[gozer]

Startling Comics #51
Better Publications, 5/48
CGC 8.5 with OW to W pages

$2600 and I pay insurance and shipping to USA buyers. Other locations pay cost.

Payment by MO or check only. No PayPal on this one.

Toward the end of its run (the last 7 covers, #47 - #53), Startling Comics used Alex Schomburg airbrush covers.  And jeepers, are they swell!
One of the things I like about #51 is the vehicle.  It's a car. A CAR. In space. It's got a steering wheel and (of all things) a door handle. And what looks like a back seat. Just like your dad's new 1948 Plymouth. Plymouths didn't have ray-gun turrets, but still.

Thanks for looking.

I just wanted to highlight this for potential buyers. There is so much more to love here when you spend 60 seconds of your life (like I just did) studying the cover.
