Many of you are aware of the La Prensa Spanish language full color reprints of precode horror (and later post-code fantasy) in Cuentos de Brujas, Cumbres de Tortura and Misterios del Gato Negro, which went from showcasing Harvey books to Ajax Farrell to Atlas. What I had never seen before was one of the squarebound Cuentos de Brujas Numeros Extaordinario  - a six issue run from 1954. This is the first issue, which has an unusual woodgrain pattern for the background (both front and back) of a recycled Ajax cover. The cover stock is of the thicker type sometimes found on squarebounds. I don't know how rare these actually are, but I'm guessing they are less common than than the regular sized issues. The stain on the front cover is not as milky looking in hand.

Never thought I’d be able to get a decent copy of this. Rather excited. 

The spine has some issues, but it’s complete, attached, and the main image is clean.
