True Crime Comics #2 (1947) CGC FN 6.0
<B>True Crime Comics #2 (Magazine Village, 1947) CGC FN 6.0 Cream to off-white pages.</B></I> "Perhaps the single most notorious crime comic book ever published -- full of drugs (opium, morphine, marijuana), women ripping off their clothes, and stilettos pressed against eyeballs," Mike Benton once wrote. Also, people are dragged to their deaths in one story. <B>Seduction of the Innocent</B></I>, <B>Parade of Pleasure</B></I>, and the New York Legislative Commission<B> </B></I>all slammed the issue for the violence and drug use. Other than that, great kiddie fare. This is the second most-valuable crime comic, behind only <B>Crime Does Not Pay</B></I> #22, and it's the work of Jack Cole, who served as artist, writer, and editor. The highest-graded copy to date is VF- 7.5, putting this specimen among the best available. Overstreet 2007 FN 6.0 value = $450. CGC census 10/07: 1 in 6.0, 2 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
