Not one of the spiffier Crippens, but I can't recall having seen a copy of this issue before.  Here's an oddity:  CGC indicates it was published by Ziff-Davis, whereas GCD says St. John. hm

The cover says St. John but CGC probably didn't look at the cover while grading it. Apparently for romance comics the cover is the least important part.

Right you are!  Somehow, I didn't even notice that. doh!

Makes CGC's mistake doubly odd.  I don't think they see many of these, so somebody probably looked at Overstreet (or GCD) and didn't notice that 17 was the last Z-D issue and 18 the first St J. issue.

I know this is a small mistake, but stuff like this irks me. CGC is supposed to be all about accuracy.

Unusual one. Printed with 2 front covers!

One on the front and one on the back.

That is awesome.  "Just in case you didn't like the painted cover!"
