Collector's Notes

CGC 9.0 · Restored (C-1) · White Pages

A Restored copy graded 9.0. A modest census of 13.

CGC census: 13 total graded for this issue · avg 8.84 (Universal-label population; this copy carries a special CGC label)

Harold Shull — an uncommon credit in the cover roster — paints Jungle Captive, the last of Universal’s Paula the Ape Woman pictures, for Issue #81. It’s a craftsman’s issue inside: makeup godfather Dick Smith gets his due, Lionel Atwill and Victor Jory prowl the Universal-era chillers, and the long-lost Mystery of the Wax Museum melts back into view.
