Grade: FN+
Classics illustrated #74 (0) .1950. Key only edition nice fn+ an action cover combines with a detailed interior to make this original first edition of mr. Midshipman easy a delight to read and collect! The classics series has been renowned for decades as one of the most impressive of all time. With over 1400 editions to choose from, collectors can make their collection whatever they want it to be - from extremely rare and valuable first editions in high grade to relatively plentiful later editions in low grade. Whatever a person wants, here it is - adventure, mystery, romance, sf, fantasy, detectives and more. Importantly, these comics are still great to read - and it is nice to be familiar with the foundations of english literature (which is what these editions represent).This particular comic is especially noteworthy because it is the only usa edition of #74 that gilberton ever published. Like all true first edition classics, this comic has the ad for the next classics in the series (the beautiful lady of the lake). Additionally, this book came from one of the foremost classics collections of all time. Our consignor at one point had over 1100 separate usa classic editions, and we are delighted that we finally convinced him to part with this key. We do not expect it to be available for very long.Condition is extremely nice. We have carefully counted every page and the book is complete, with superb off-white to white pages. The cover colors are especially deep and brilliant. Due primarily to a "corner bump" (see bottom left of front cover/bottom right of back cover) and a small corner off the back cover, we grade it a gorgeous fine+. We feel we should note, however, that much of this comic has an astounding near mint look to it. Scans: we are providing large scans so everyone can see how nice this is. Top price guide value as we write this, for those who are interested, is approximately $470. 1950 grade: fn+ sku: chv-190
