zzutak Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi, all. Thanks for stopping by. This evening, I'm offering a baker's dozen of uncommon yet affordable pre-code horror and crime comics. All books are guaranteed to be unrestored (unless otherwise noted). The exact cost of shipping will be added to your order ($4 for boxed and bullet-proof USPS First Class Mail to a domestic address). Payment may be by PayPal, Cashier’s Check, business/personal check, or USPS Money Order. Payment must be received within seven calendar days of being invoiced (unless other arrangements have been agreed to via PM). Items will ship within two business days of your payment. Returns cheerfully accepted (provided that you alert me to the return via PM within one week of receipt), but the cost of shipping and return shipping will be on you. International buyers are welcomed. Miscreants, wankers, and folks currently on probation are not. Post the within the selling thread to claim your prize.

zzutak Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Dark Mysteries #9 (Master Comics; Oct-Nov 1952). Grade = 1.25 FR+ ow-wh. Price = $55. SOLD -- Thank You!Yep, I loved this issue so much that I hoarded it. This copy has a clean 6" tear down the spine side of the back cover and last two interior leaves (due to poor handling rather than brittleness). Would grade out as a 2.0 GD copy without this flaw.
