Crime Reporter #1 (CGC 5.0 with cream to off-white pages) $325: :news: Sold to Comcav! 

This is the first issue of a short three-issue run published by St John in 1948. Nice Bob Lubbers “headlights” cover. Clean cover with no stamps, writing or other ink marks. Let’s hope this Brunette has a life net waiting for her. Looks like a long way down.

Planet Comics #54 (CGC 5.5 with off-white pages) $400:

Another attractive Joe Doolan bondage cover.  Excellent color and cover condition for a Fine-. Not sure that spiked ball is going to find its mark before that knife finds flesh and bone.

Art by Matt Baker, Maurice Whitman, Frank Doyle, George Evans and Joe Doolan.

May 1948

Terrors of the Jungle #17 (CGC 5.5 with cream to off-white pages) $750: :news: Sold to Comical Situations. Thanks again Troy!

Another gorgeous classic L.B. Cole cover. Terrific black background. I like the effect of dripping blood to highlight the title. Note the position of the young lass about to be burned at the stake- dead center of the comic. Immediately your eyes focus there. Then they slowly peruse the surrounding savagery.

Another extraordinary cover by the master!

Used in Seduction of the Innocent.

You can never have enough L.B. Cole covers. Another solid mid-grade jungle book. Great “good girl art” by Jay Disbrow in “Flaming Goddess of Death”.

Another difficult issue to own with only 11 in census and five graded higher.
