Ace Comics #51, GD/VG 3.0, June 1941, David McKay Company,  Philadelphia, Penn.

Grade GD/VG 3.0

I am not a professional, so please examine closely the photographs and contact me with any questions.  I base my grading on the the criteria used by mycomicshop.  This comic has been stored flat in a box for decades.

The front cover has wear, a couple of small tears on the outer edge, and a couple of small color breaks on the spine.  Also some curved creases on the front and a handy name sticker on the upper right corner.  Well, handy only if your name is Eugene Mateske, anyway.  The spine is rolled, see the photo of the back cover.  The back cover has a small tear on the bottom and is bright and bold.  The cover is attached and secure.  The lightly browned pages have general wear and are still bold and colorful.  The centerfold page is present, but detached from the lower staple, and the two staples are not rusty.

 Oh, BOY!  68 total pages with LOTS of Action-packed stories in an explosion of wild color!  You can’t lose!

This is one of the many comic books, pulp magazines, paperbacks, and hardcovers I have inherited from my father, who had been collecting from the 1940s in Maine until his death in the late 1990s in Los Angeles. I combine orders to save on shipping!  Contact me if you have any questions of concerns!
