Famous Funnies # 27

One of my favorites of this title. First crime cover? First photo cover?

Thank you for including the Buster Crabbe #5 in the shot.   I think it really should be considered part of the set just as much as the WSF 29, but a lot of people either disagree or don't even know about it.

Happy to have what's left of these two:

Cool Frazetta covers!

This is technically the issue before Jack Kirby’s Lightnin’ and the Lone Rider’s first appearance, but it’s way more fun.

It’s got this full page splash, a cover mention, and maybe half a dozen cool little teasers throughout the book. One of my favorite super cheap GA comics!
