Robot Man Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) SOLD! Mystic #54 Dec 1956 Killer, dark and moody Bill Everett cover with that wonderful signature. One of my favorites.

Tiny, light water spot at bottom of back cover. Otherwise, a pretty nice copy. Smooth spine and well bound copy. No real tears or major creases. Glossy and bright. Oh, and that stinker "Judy" wrote her name at top of first page just to rub it in... $80. Edited May 25, 2023 by Robot Man Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
