Rare Crime Comic: Criminals On The Run |
---|
LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: CRIMINALS ON THE RUN #10 CGC 6.5 With Off-White Pages, From L.B. Cole's Small Fledgling Comics Company, Star Publications, In 1949; It's Got A Classic Cover By L. B. Cole, Almost Appearing As If The Comic-Book Is On Fire! Then, Upon Closer Examination You Realize A Proud Diabolical Arsonist Is At It Again, Reading About His Heinous Crimes In The Newspaper As He Holds The Match He Just Used To Ignite The Latest Forest Fire. The Eye-Popping Cover Is Perfect To Promote The Explosive Story "Young King Cole", A Crime/Mystery Story That Kicks Off This Salacious Issue And Is Illustrated By The Talented Al McWilliams. Another Story Features Crime & Mystery Themes Starring A Character Named "Doctor Doom", But Don't Expect Him To Look Like He's Drawn By Kirby And Might Threaten The Fantastic Four, This Enigmatic Hero Is Drawn By Nina Albright. It Also Contains A Thrilling Sergeant Spook Story, And More. The Fabulous Pyromaniac Firestarter Cover Is Not Largely Known, But That's Because This Comic Is A Little-Known Sleeper, As Evidenced By The Fact That CGC Has Seen Less Than Ten Total Copies, In Almost 25 Years Of Submissions. Old Comics Don't Get Much Rarer, And This One Has Eye-Appeal That Makes It Look High Grade, Despite Already Being One Of The Top Few Highest-Graded Copies Ever Seen By CGC. L.B. Cole's Coveted Mask Comics And Some Of The Suspense Comics Have Already Become Too Expensive For Most Collectors, And It's Likely Additional Cole-Embellished Forties Books Will Follow... (Several Colorful Cole Covers Were Emblazoned Upon The Dust Jackets Of The Indispensable Gerber Photo-Journal Books, And Such Auspicious Efforts By The Influential Talent Were Finally Exposed To The General Collecting Community, And Quickly Appeared On Many Want-Lists As Fresh Fans Now Recognized The Groundbreaking Material That Cole Was Producing In The Day, And Aspired To Own Copies For Themselves.) Those Of You That Have Followed The Golden-Age Hobby In Recent Years May Have Observed Such Striking Cole Covers Experiencing Dramatic Price Increases As More Fans Around The Globe Discover His Inimitable Timeless Style, While Supplies Of Intact Examples Remain Sparse. This Elusive Number By Arguably The Hottest Artist In The Medium Is Crucial To Any Advanced Collector But It's Long Been Scarce In Presentable Intact Shape, So Don't Miss This Chance To Procure A World Class Example Or You Could End Up Settling For A Trashed Reader Copy Or Photocopy Replica Instead. This Obscure Anti-Crime Title Contains Lurid Content Including Extreme Violence And Treating Police Contemptuously And Good Girl Art And Other Classic Elements Of The Gritty Comics From Before The Advent Of The Comics Code Authority.
