A high-grade copy. A healthy census of 42.

CGC census: 13 graded at 9.4 · 10 graded higher · 42 total · avg 8.97 (CGC Universal label)

Peter Green paints Bela Lugosi and Carroll Borland’s Luna from Mark of the Vampire for Issue #61, a bookish number: John W. Campbell’s “Who Goes There?” — the seed of The Thing — runs in condensed form, and a teenage Ed Naha, future screenwriter, surfaces in the letters column.

Curious where this copy came from? Every book here has a history — ask me in the Groups.
