Fun for me, as well.  I love the look of a pristine comic, but pre-code stuff is meant to be read -- and there's nothing better than an affordable reader!  :banana:  And I can (almost) guarantee that you will not see better prices anywhere.  lol

Cool books from a delightful seller, can't ask for a better Friday night in my book!

How does this book get no love???? I have 2 copies and think it looks incredible. On the fence of getting my third copy. Seen this cover in a few PCH books and articles. Get it while it's not as well appreciated as it should be. PSA done ✅

Great pickup. I was going to pick it up if it wasn't sold by tomorrow. Wanted another boardie to get a chance to own one. Congrats!

Thanks. I was late to the party or I would have snapped it up two hours ago. Darn kids swim meets!

Baffling Mysteries #13 (Ace Magazines; Jan 1953).  Grade = 1.0 FR white.  Price = $15.
Demons, ghosts, ghouls, serpents, skeletons, and a 7-page werewolf story.  Amateur color touch on the black, inside portion of the sarcophagus top.  Beautiful interior pages.

Thanks, Raze!  The interior pages on the Baffling #13 are actually in great shape.  :grin:  Better yet, as with most Ace comics from this era, it's an "all meat, no potatoes" issue -- ads are only on the inside covers, so you get 32 full pages of terrifying tales.  What a deal!  :banana:
