Title: MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURES No. 21
Place Published:
Publisher:Story [Indicia: Story Comics Inc.]
Date Published: August, 1954
Description: CGC certified: VG (4.0). Off-white pages. Grader notes: large, light stain left bottom of whole book; light stain right top of whole book; small, light stain right bottom of whole book. Note: Some minor scuffs and marks to slab.
GPAnalysis: A 4.0 sold for $600 in 9/23.
Credits: Cover: Hy Fleishman? Art: Ross Andru?, Bill Savage?, Hy Fleishman?, Dick Beck?Madonnas and Misfits: Rough stuff galore in this gonzo mag. On the cover, a Misfits-looking mofo prepares hack off a blonde's melon. Inside, there's a hanging panel grotesque enough to rival Johnny Craig's queasy cover to Crime SuspenStories #20 (which is the likely source of inspiration, considering Story's penchant for EC swipes); graphic disembowelment panels in a story tentatively credited to Bill Savage (with some possibly Bill Elder-inspired linework); a sultry blonde makin' out with a big stinky ape; and a gal who shivs her romantic rival in the ribs. Readers left feeling sullied by this orgy of depravity can find relief in an ad hawking rosaries filled with holy water from the fountain at Lourdes ("To help you gain special favors, graces, blessings... and bring you closer to our Blessed Mother! – Patent Pending").______________________________________________________________
A limited edition of ten hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a few dozen softcovers. Fun reference, great keepsake, fully illustrated, chockablock with obscure facts, gags, bon mots. Softcovers are $40, deluxe hardcovers with dust jackets and limitation plates are $200. These books always go fast so don't delay. To order, contact ivan@pbagalleries.com.
