Adventures Into The Unknown 40 CGC 3.5 RARE ICE MONSTER Lazarus & Bald ACG 1953

Description: Rare Comic: Ice Monster! This Auction Includes: LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN #40 CGC 3.5 From Late 1952 As The February, 1953, Supernatural-Themed Issue From American Comics Group. A Truly Classic Ken Bald Cover: Even The Army And The Flamethrowers Are Helpless Against The Marauding Ice Monster! This Is The Ideal Cover To Promote The Related Arctic Nemesis Lead Story By The Masterful Harry Lazarus, "Heart Of The Snow Maiden". It Also Features The Black Magic Of "The Little Witch" By Art Gates. Another Particularly Haunting Tale Is "The Soul Collectors", By The Respected Pete Riss. Plus This Elusive Number Ends With "The Sinister Double" By The Great Edvard Moritz. It's Lovely, And Thus Shocking That The Grade CGC Assigned Is Just 3.5. Nevertheless, That Is Still Very Impressive When You Consider That Only A Single Blue-Label Copy Has Surfaced In The Market In Better Shape, IN TWENTY YEARS, and that was the Spokane Pedigree atop the census! (We Specialize In Rare Pre-Code Horror Comics, Yet The Finest Copy We've Ever Offered Was A Raw 3.0 That Sold Briskly Years Ago, And It Couldn't Hold A Candle To This Exceptional Specimen.) Look At The Assorted Photographs: That Blaze-Red Logo Against The Rich Blue Background, With The Realistic Fleshtones Of The Spooked Soldier Watching The Flamethrower Spray Fire Onto The Massive Ice Monster, And The Frozen Creature Is Still 'Snowy White', Thus The Eye Appeal Is Off The Charts! Unfortunately For Fans That Are Just Now Discovering It, It's One Of The Scarcer Issues Of The Run, And Downright Rare In Presentable Shape. {So Don't Take This Chance To Score A Sharp Well-Preserved Example Lightly, Or You Could End Up Settling For A Reader Copy, Or Worse, An Embarrassing Replica Facsimile.} The Pre-Code Horror Craze Was In Full Swing So It's Got The Ubiquitous Lurid Content Including Gore And/Or Good Girl Art And Graphic Violence And Supernatural Themes. THIS SERIES WAS AMERICA'S FIRST SUPERNATURAL SERIES. The Horror And Supernatural Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, pet-free, climate-controlled environment. Although it's over seventy years old, it retains an amazing amount of luster and the eye appeal is incredible!
