Howdy Doody #6 CGC 4.5 (Dell 1951) Golden Age Kids Book Racial Cover SOTI 1/23



HTF, nice condition kids' book from 1951 - Howdy Doody #6, based on the popular puppet / kids' show of the time.  The book has a racially insulting cover (and, art and internal story) - this led to the books' inclusion in the Seduction of the Innocent "SOTI" - part of the effort in the 1950s that looked to ban comics / resulted in the Comics Code.  



Kids books of any sort from the Golden Age aren't easy to come by, and most heavily worn / tattered.  This is a nice presenting copy - in particular as the front and back covers are white / can highlight any / all soot or markings....  A CGC 4.5 with off white pages, and one of just 23 CGC graded copies.  This book is highly collectable as a SOTI book, for fans of the TV show / kids books of the Golden Age, and for the controversial art and content.   



I will make a note and take pics on the rare occasion I post a slab with a crack or break.  Otherwise the slabs are nice = (minor scuffs, typical with age or shipping, CGC/CBCS “allowable” stuff like newton rings, weld seams, scuffs from shipping etc)…. to flawless.  Happy to pull a book and inspect, take additional pics, etc-just ask!
