Strange Mysteries #5, Superior Publications, May, 1952, with an eye-catching red background cover featuring a green monster with four arms and hands. Even a little GGA. Condition wise about a G, with cover attached, but two inch bottom SS, and three small pieces out on the upper left corner and upper right corner. Supple, flat, and white-off white pages. $140.

Science Fiction Space Adventures #9. Winter,1954. The cover is detached, with one small piece of tape at the center of the inside spine, POFC, and a horizontal color break across the center left half of the FC. Looks like a tear, but it's not. Otherwise flat, supple, good cover reflectivity and off white pages. Five stories, three of them pretty good, including a Science Fiction horror tale. $140.

Gangsters Can't Win #4, August-September 1948. Grades about a G-VG with a spine roll but nothing missing and all attached. White-off/white pages and moderate cover reflectivity. Plenty of violence in 48 pages, with cars, machine guns, knives, pistols, a guy getting thrown off a building, and acid throwing as weapons. Only selling because I have two copies. $80.
