Here she is . . . . Miss America (magazine, Vol. 1, #2). 2nd appearance Miss America (vs. the Shocker!!!!), one page origin of Miss America, and First appearance of Patsy Walker.

Cover is attached at top, and back of bottom, but front of bottom staple is loose. Staples dark, don't look too rusty on exterior but has some discoloration on interior pages. Spine is ok, with vertical crease, tearing by staples, and 1" split at top, 1/2" split at bottom. Cover shows wear, scuffing, and possibly moisture damage. Back cover has some paper stuck to it. No pieces missing or rips beyond the spine splits.

Book is complete - one doll cut out (shown in picture below) I think of the Miss America paper doll - affects the text behind it, but not comic story - and everything is attached inside. Center wrap is tight in book. Patsy Walker paper doll and dresses are there. Some staining from rusty staples.

Pages have nice bright colors, are supple and a nice cream or better (some pages seem an off-white to me). 

Ask me about anything else you want to know.

Now to the important part - price. I have no idea what its worth - become a hot book, but it isn't exactly common. 16 on the census (one Qualified), range from 1.8 to 2 (!) 9.4s. Heritage sold an incomplete copy (missing back cover and part of a Miss America page affecting story) for $430 almost 2 years ago. Saw one offered here CGC 4.0 for like $2,600 or so. So I'm going to be crazy and ask $1,000. $900 $800 $750

I would like to add that it pays to peruse these here boards - especially the ones that have odd and esoteric books listed. I would never have known about this book unless I had been going through listings and saw someone list it for sale. A week or two later I saw a lot of magazines for auction, and this book was one of the "magazines" listed! I jumped on it, of course, but I wouldn't have given it a second look if it weren't for the boards and the crazy knowledgeable board members and sellers who offer these things up. So thanks to everyone here!!!

Tough and cool book. Took me a while to find a copy. Good luck with this sale!
