Suspense Comics #1 (1943) CGC GD/VG 3.0
<B>Suspense Comics #1 (Continental Magazines, 1943) CGC GD/VG 3.0 Extensive (P) Off-white pages.</B></I> We've actually seen fewer copies of this than of #3, no wonder this first issue is a Gerber "8"! The bondage/torture cover has much in common with the famous cover of issue #3, you could almost call it a prototype for the later cover. It's by Charles Quinlan of <B>Catman</B></I> fame, and there are seven pages of interior art by the masterful L. B. Cole. While the identity of the first horror comic book is a matter of some debate, we'd say this issue deserves to be included in the discussion. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, reinforced, re-glossed. (Bottom edge of cover trimmed)." Overstreet 2007 GD 2.0 value = $375; VG 4.0 value = $750. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
