SOLD! The famous/imfamous SOTI related book "Youth in Danger" by Sen. Robert C. Hendrickson of N.J., the Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency. The book features his thoughts on Horror Comics and the famous Senate testimony of William Gaines and Frederick Wertham. It's a must have for SOTI collectors but few can find them. The last copy I sold went to SOTIcollector. This is a more affordable copy due to its condition. Check out the pics: Price: $250 $200 but will consider offers.

Frederic Wertham, M.D., "Psychiatry and Censorship" separately bound journal editorial with his handwritten correction on last page (SOTIcollector's inscribed copy has the same handmade correction. Ironically, this is an anti-censorship piece from the American Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. XI, No. 3 (April 1957). A cool bit of SOTI related history for only $150 $120 $100 but will consider offers.

Our Navy (Mid-April 1945) one of the earliest, if not the earliest, photo covers showing someone reading a comic - albeit not necessarily in the most flattering context. The "Gyp Joint" is the ship's store. Great Shadow skull cover, Young Allies, Startling, Three Ring Comics, Camp Comics, Comic Capers, etc. on cover. I'd grade this a G which presents better. But these are hard to find. Price: $40 $35 $30 but will consider offers.

Stalmmannen no. 23 (Oct. 1950) - Swedish comic with <cough> unique cover that greatly implies that Wertham was right about Bruce/Batman. Reprints Superman (Prankster), Pow Wow Smith, and Batman & Robin stories in Swedish. You buy it for the awesome innuendo cover. Presents really well, but staples have been removed because they were rusted with transfer near the staple holes top and bottom. No effort has been made to clean off the oxidation or to replace the staples. This is entry level innuendo at a discounted price of $90 $80 $70 but will consider offers.

SOLD! Pep 132 - An entry level beater copy of an issue you rarely see cheap. What can you say about the innuendo on that cover? Well, Archie's lying to his GF is one thought. Whose snake and whose hills? Price: $30 and will consider offers. No returns on this one. Its an entry level beater. But a great way to get the cover cheaply.

Speaking of teenagers and sex, here's a classic but little known gem: Army & Navy Fun Parade 54 (Harvey, April 1952) featuring the most outrageous story that Dr. Wertham never mentioned: "I Joined a Teen-Age Sex Club!" (reprinted from First Love #13 (Harvey, July 1949). Also includes pin-ups of Ruth Roman and Virginia Gibson as well as many racy cartoons. Great cheaper way to get a classic story. Price: $90 $70 $60 but will consider offers.

Early Comic Code Authority Pamphlet propaganda regarding the 1954 version of the Code (probably dates to 1960-1961). This thing is big. While it folds into a tri-fold, when unfolded, as I store it, it is bigger than a GA comic - it is magazine sized.  These things are super-cool items to have in a collection that includes pre-Code, SOTI, or comic history material. This is probably the best of the CCA pamphlets I've seen. Early CCA pamphlets get strong prices when they pop-up. Later pamphlets are smaller and less interesting. 

Price: $100 $90 and I will consider offers.
