Target Comics v4-n8 aka #44 (Novelty; Dec 1943).  Grade = 4.5 VG+ nearly white.  Price = $30.  SOLD – Thank You!
A 60-page Christmas issue (front/back covers plus 56 interior pages).  Complete, with 16 leaves before the center staple and 12 leaves after.  Cover is much whiter than the scan indicates (my scanner blows up with bright whites).

This Is War #6 (Standard; Oct 1952).  Grade = 0.5 PR to 1.0 FR (0.75 PR/FR) brittle.  Price = $15.  SOLD – Thank You!
Another intense cover image.  Cover present but detached, completely split along spine, and very fragile.  Interior is generally supple, aside from slightly brittle corners and a brittle top edge (most of the weak paper has already flaked off).  No CGC-certified copies.

This thread will remain open through this weekend.  After that, all books listed will be subject to sale through the A-1 Comics retail storefront (or any other venue Brian deems appropriate).  Invoices will go out Sunday. 
I'll be back in January with the seventh installment of our Below Guide™ series.  Until then, many thanks for visiting, and best wishes to all for a healthy and happy holiday season!  Jay, Brian, and all the folks at A-1 Comics.
