Scarce Western Comic: The Outlaws |
---|
LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: OUTLAWS #10 (#1) CGC 5.5 With Off-White Pages, By Star Publications In Early 1952, With A Colorful "Wild West Bank Robbery" Cover. The Unusual Yellow Border Around The Sheriff's Brave Battle Provides A Striking Picture-Frame Effect, Detailed-In With Ornate Wood Grains, Adding To The Western Motif. This Is One Of L.B. Cole's Classic Cowboy Covers; Who Else Could It Be Drawn By?! It's The First Issue Of The Series, The Issues Previous To This Were "Western Crime Cases" So This Is The First Issue Called "The Outlaws", And It Lasted For Several Issues After This, All Spotlighting Valiant Sheriffs Combating Brutal Criminal Wild West Outlaws. Exciting Violent Tales Await Inside This Thriller, Including "Gunsmoke Of Doom" And "Henry Plummer And The Road Agents", Plus "The Indians Decided To Massacre" And "Ben Thompson, The Murderer Whose Weapon Was Fear". It Must Have Had A Tiny Print-Run In 1952 As They Are Rarely Seen In Intact Complete Shape; Even CGC Has Only Seen A GRAND TOTAL Of 11 Copies, In The Past 24 Years Of Submissions! Those Of You That Have Followed The Golden-Age Hobby In Recent Years Have Likely Observed L.B. Cole Covers Experiencing Dramatic Price Increases As More Fans Around The Globe Discover His Inimitable Timeless Style, While Supplies Of Intact Examples Remain Sparse. All The While, These Uber-Scarce Western Comics, Without The High-Profile Exposure In The Photo-Journals And Other Reference Books, Fanzines, And Blogs, Continue To Languish As Sleepers, As Most Fans Remain Oblivious To Their Existence. L.B. Cole Is One Of The Most Revered Artists In The History Of The Medium And A True Master Of All Genres, Yet This One Has Long Been Scarce In ANY Grade, So Don't Take This Chance To Score A Brilliant Well-Preserved Example Lightly, Or You May End Up Settling For A Photocopy Replica Instead.
