It was written, drawn & inked by Joe Kubert and reflects the artist's passion for the subject matter. I haven't kept up with the market value, but a couple of years ago it topped out at under $300 in Overstreet. Hope this helps.

I know that the first four are tough to find in fine or above. So here are mine. You will notice #2 & #4 have the same cover. Maybe that's what was meant when I heard about #2.

I can't see what's odd about the cover of #2, but it seems pretty obvious what occurred in respect to cover's repetition. The first thing I noticed was issues #1-3 were published by Victor Fox in the late 40's, the 4th, ten years later. That is odd because Fox filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July of 1950. If I'm not mistaken Fox sold off his comic assets by the mid-50's.

The fourth issue ...with no publisher imprint on the cover... has the designation: 1959 Edition. The oddest thing about this cover is the lack of a Comics Code Authority approval stamp. If memory serves, there was at least one major comic publisher who kept unimpeded newsstand distribution without ever submitting art for approval to the CCA. Which begs the question, were there others?

In the case of Cosmo Cat #4, I think the book may be a total retread from cover to cover distributed by a small scale publisher who flew under the radar of the CCA. Someone with a broader knowledge of all four book's contents will be required to give weight to this hypothesis.

what E copy mean?

Most of my comic books bought from the corner newsroom
on Garside Avenue and Park Avenue were always marked with
an E...just as those bought from the newsroom on Bloomfield
Avenue were marked with an N...both locations are in Newark, NJ.
