Crime SuspenStories #6 Gaines File pedigree 3/12 (EC, 1
<B>Crime SuspenStories #6 Gaines File pedigree 3/12 (EC, 1951) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white pages.</B></I> Of all the great artists at EC, Johnny Craig is the one who comes to mind when we discuss this particular title. Craig created all but six of the twenty-three covers in the run, and contributed interior work on all but six issues! The issue has interior art by Craig, Jack Kamen, and Graham Ingels. This Gaines File Copy makes us appreciate not only Bill Gaines' classy publishing offerings, but also his foresight to preserve multiple copies for posterity. As to what kept this copy from a 9.8 grade, we have no idea -- it's a copy even the most discriminating EC collector would be happy with. The cover is by Johnny Craig, with interior art contributed by Craig, Jack Kamen, and Graham Ingels. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $525. CGC census 10/06: 1 in 9.6, 2 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
