CGC certified: Fine+ (6.5). Pedigree Label. Off-white to white pages. Cover: Johnny Craig Plots and scripts: Bill Gaines, Al Feldstein Johnny Craig Art: Johnny Craig Jack Davis George Evans Graham Ingels Provenance: Don & Maggie Thompson Collection. GPAnalysis: The last time this copy traded hands, it sold for $725 (Sept. 2020). Graham Ingels drew himself as a rummy in panel 5, page 4 of his story, "We Ain't Got No Body!" Ingels was an alcoholic whose occasional benders caused close calls with publishing deadlines. His self-mockery in this mag seems like a cringing mea culpa to Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein who, having been inconvenienced by a besotted Ingels' deadline dithering, contrived a sly strategy. "Gaines and Feldstein... began giving Ingels artificially early due dates, so even if the job came in 'late,' it was actually on time." — Grant Geissman, Foul Play! The Art and Artists of the Notorious 1950s EC Comics. Harper: 2005, p. 94. A limited edition of 150 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues is available. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $30, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Ten of the 15 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
