House of Evil by Clayre and Michael Lipman   Lion Books No. 231   1st Edition PBO 1954    $20

Rudy Nappi GGA cover art on this Lion original Noir.   Love Martin Goodman's Lion Books line. One of the few I would try to be a completist on.

Fine. Square and tight with great colors. Has a reader's crease and a small chip on cover, but that's about it
