Can you post the scan of the indicia?

 

How's this?

 

That's great, thank you. Does anyone with a copy that doesn't have the panel whited out have a different indicia?

 

I don't think anyone has found a copy without the white panel. I'd be surprised if one exists.

:news: UPDATE! :news:

 

I contacted Jeff Vaughn, of Gemstone Publishing about listing a notation regarding the BCM #51 in the OPG. We'll see what happens, here's his reply:

 

Jay –

Here’s a note back from Bob. Thanks for the tip!

Subject: Re: Possible notation addition to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide

 

Hello Jeff,

This does qualify for listing, I think and it seems to be post code, not precode. It would date in late 1954 after the code was established. since it is a good example of censorship where the (severed head) half of a long rectangular panel was covered up with a blank panel to hide the gruesome, blood dripping art, leaving the reader to wonder what was in the "blank" panel. The original art shows a gruesome severed head scene that was censored before publication with a blank panel pasted over it to hide the art.

 

Bob
