CGC certified: Fine (6.0). Off-white to white pages. Cover: Bud Parke. Scripts: Al Feldstein Daniel Keyes. Art: Jack Kamen Johnny Craig Joe Orlando, Wally Wood. Tawdry tales of love gone wrong. EC's Code-dodging Picto-Fiction format allowed the freedom to depict scenarios too sordid for even the raunchiest pre-Code comics. In one story, a hooligan molests a teen girl, ripping her blouse and exposing her brassiered bosom ("One of them grabbed me and was suddenly kissing me. I felt his hands all over me. In a moment my dress was torn"); in another, a woman gets pregnant out of wedlock and gets a botched back-alley abortion, leaving her sterile. A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $40, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Eight of the 12 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now. To order, contact [email protected] . Consignments welcome for PBA's Spring 2022 Comic Book sale. Top prices for Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age, Silver Age, original art and ephemera. Find out why PBA is the new fan-fave of comics auctioneers. "This is some of the best commentary I've yet seen on the quality of the content of comic books... Priceless." — R. Crumb.
