Wild Boy of the Congo #1 VG- 3.5 1951

Grade VG- 3.5 Year 1951 Publisher Ziff Davis

1.5" Cumulative spine split.

This is a low grade item. It will be complete and readable, but will show significant wear. Allowed defects for this grade include: spine roll, a moderate amount of staining or water damage, writing or other marks on the cover, up to one inch spine splits or other tears, a cover or centerfold that is detached at one staple, discoloration due to oxidation, and a minor piece or pieces missing. An item could be assigned this grade due to either an accumulation of minor/moderate defects or one or two major defects.

Description

Issue #1 is numbered #10 on the cover. Norman Saunders painted bondage cover. First issue of series. Origin of "Wild Boy, Prince of the Jungle;" Wild Boy in "Gorilla God;" Joe Barton, Jungle Adventurer in "Jungle Guns" (art by Matt Baker?); and Wild Boy in "The Invaders" Two page text story, "Man-Eater;" interior front cover filler, "Jungle Oddities." Full page ad on interior back cover for "Kid Cowboy." Cool full color back cover illustration features Wild Boy and his jungle friends - artist unknown, but a good guess would be Matt Baker.
