Classic war cover with a 🇺🇸 soldier dying as he looks at a photo of his girl back home….this book also has multiple racist interior panels with racial epithets/slurs (I can’t type the word here) used towards Korean soldiers.

This book’s lead story is a pretty cool Korean War POW camp escape story….

Similar books using that racist slur on the cover sell for a few hundred in raw low to mid grade, the slur isn’t on the cover but this cover isn’t anything to shake a stick at, either!

Last sale of a copy of this particular book with undisclosed restoration (top staple removed and put back in, look at the extra 2 staple holes and the bend in the middle of the top staple) , sold for $90 + $25 or so shipping (Canadian funds):

Looks to be around an Apparent 4.0 book, the MCS is IMO a nicer copy and has no resto or conservation.

Well, I am so far losing $7on this book, accounting for my cost and mycomicshop’s base $7 consignment fee.

I snapped this copy and another 2.0 from mycomicshop within 3 minutes of them being posted on mycomicshop via email want list notifications on my cell.

The other 2.0 was down graded to a 1.8 upon consignment, figured I’d auction off the slightly higher grade of the 2 copies. Paid the same price for that book.

I really have to start making up promo threads well before the last day of an auction, this is how I got hosed the last time. 😂
