Thrilling Crime #48 April 1952 Star Pubs

Classic LB Cole violent car crash cover! 

I just paid a bundle to upgrade this one.

Back cover missing, Front cover still barely holding on. Small piece out of background at spine. Lots of general wear but nothing otherwise missing to mar cover image. Looks bright and presentable in a mylar. Probably the cheapest presentable copy you will find.

Was $50.

Now $45.

OK, beater alert... a few great Wanted comics. These are way up on the heap for crimes comics. Wasn't even going to list them but they are such great readers.

Wanted #15 Sept 1948 Toytown Pubs

Probably worst of the bunch. Mouse chew through entire book at top. No art or story affected. Rough spine with bottom staple popped. Still bound to covers. Lots of usual defects, edge tears, creases and an old piece of tape on back cover. Yeah, a real beat but complete reader.

Was $12.

Now $10.

Wasn't going to list this one but it is such a classic. It is my "reader" because I have a nice Jon Berk copy in a slab. I have read it enough times so time to let it go.

Witty #2 1945 Chicago Nite Life News Pubs

What a wild cover! I love the reaction of the folks especially the kid and the dog. Just crazy contents. Scott Shaw! would love this one for his "Esoteric Comics" slide show...

Missing the centerfold...Three existing centerfolds are neatly detached. Couple ofl tape pulls on back cover. Bright, glossy with no other real damage. Believe me, NOBODY buys this for anything but this weird front cover!

Was $50.

Now $45.

OK, that will do it for this one. Reasonable offers will be considered for most. Please don't get insulted if I say no. But I often will take a good offer. will leave it up until tomorrow and send out invoices Thursday. Thanks for looking...
