Description: Rare Comic: Last Pre-Code Issue! This Auction Includes: LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: FORBIDDEN WORLDS #34 CGC 5.0 With Phenomenal Off-White To White Pages From 1954. This Is The Final Issue Without The Comics Code Approval Of This Long-Running Supernatural-Themed Series From American Comics Group. This Seldom-Seen Number Is Listed Out In The Overstreet Guide As "Scarce", And That's Probably An Understatement; It Also Notes The Atomic Bomb Story. A Strange Space Creature Blasts The Explorer On The Dynamic Cover By Ken Bald, Which Is Perfect To Promote The "Day Of Reckoning" Alien Invasion Lead Story. It Also Features A Gruesome Werewolf Story, "My Fanged And Fiendish Darling" By Emil Gershwin. This Elusive Number Ends With "Rendezvous With Death" By The Great Ken Landau. Another Haunting Tale With An Ancient Cult And Black Magic Is By The Respected Charles Nicholas. This Is A Must-Have Issue For UFO & Alien Invasion Collectors, As Well As Any Fan Of The Wolf Man Or Lycanthropy. It's A Beautiful Specimen, And Frankly Surprising The Grade CGC Assigned Is Just 5.0...Nevertheless, That Is Still Amazing When You Consider That Only A Single Blue-Label Copy Exists In Better Shape, TOTAL! (And That's The River City Pedigree That Tops The Census.) Intact Copies Of This Final Pre-Code Issue Are So Rare That Only FOUR Blue Label Copies Have Ever Been Encapsulated By CGC, After 24 Years Of Submissions, --And Two Of Them Are Low Grade! Look At The Assorted Photographs: That Blaze-Red Background, With The Stark Yellow Logo, The Eye Appeal Is Off The Charts! If You Are Into The Rarest Horror Comics, Then This Book Is One To Snag Quickly As It's Likely The Scarcest Of The Whole Series In VG Or Better Shape. {Don't Take This Chance To Score A Stunning Pedigree-Quality Example Lightly, Or You Could End Up Settling For A Thrashed Reader Copy, Or Worse, An Embarrassing Replica Facsimile.} The Pre-Code Horror Craze Was In Full Swing So It's Got The Ubiquitous Lurid Content Including Werewolves And Atom Bombs And Ghosts And Ancient Curses And Space Creatures And Gore And Good Girl Art And Graphic Violence And Supernatural Themes. THIS SERIES WAS THE SISTER TITLE TO "ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN" WHICH WAS AMERICA'S FIRST SUPERNATURAL SERIES. The Horror And Supernatural Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, pet-free, climate-controlled environment. Although it's almost seventy years old, it retains an amazing amount of luster and the eye appeal is incredible!
