Crowzilla Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 As rare as Wow #1 and #4 clearly are, yet another example of a previously unknown collection having copies. At least one of the issues (can't remember which) is a Gerber "10" I believe, probably not any longer given I think I've seen at least 4-5 of these issues in just the last year. You're thinking of Wow #2 Mark. I don't know of 4-5 of them turning up this past year, but there was a complete set recently which is pretty mind-boggling. The only copy of #2 I ever owned is now safe in the Jon Berk collection. Great stuff BZ! It's always a treat to see your new photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquirecomics Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Can anyone tell me anything about this comic? It was included in a collection of Golden Age comics I purchased many years ago and I've always been curious about its original purpose. I've identified the cover artwork as being the same as issue # 26 and the color contents are also from that issue. However, as you can see, there are some major differences: It has paper covers that are printed only in red ink, it has only 32 interior pages, there is no advertising, and there is no publishing or copyright info printed inside. Any ideas? I have one of these somewhere. I'll look to see if I have some of the info that the seller gave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a couple of these over the years, and they seem to be consistent with the Overstreet description: 26-(nn, nd)- Cover in one color (10 cent, 36 page; Issue No. blanked out. Two variations exist, each contain half the regular #26). though I think both had the same contents(1st half of the book). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
