Any significance to the pencil notation on the front cover?  Looks like it might read "Eric." Other books known from that collection? hm

It is "EM". There was a batch of Timelys found in the late eighties that all had that on the cover. I used to have quite a few but this is the only one I have left...

Let's call them the "Auntie Em Collection"

How this is not designated a classic cover is beyond me, given some of the recent "classic" designations that might appropriately be designated merely "noteworthy." 

Marvel Mystery is definitely a run with so, so many amazing covers, it's difficult to narrow it down to the real classics. It reminds me of Spinal Tap: "These go to eleven."

My friend and I used to have the same discussion about the Baseball Hall of Fame, and how it was getting watered down. Look at a picture of the inaugural class and contrast that with some of the players who've squeaked by in the past few decades.

Keep the classic cover designation for books like More Fun 54 and Superman 14.  2c

I have been going through a box of low grade GA that I have had for years.  All kinds of titles - some complete but many coverless and some missing pages.  I have a few Timelys in there.  Not sure if anyone would be interested but I pulled this one out - Marvel Mystery #58 (sadly missing the great cover and most of the lead Torch story).  I thought I would post the complete stories if anyone wanted to read the Subby, Miss America, Patriot stories:

Subby Story Part 1 (6 pages of 12)
