"Disc Jockey," art by Bob Powell; Sam Webb is a radio station owner and a very unpopular disc jockey who will not take himself off the air; He's so bad that Martians, out of frustration, arrive and forcibly remove him from his post. "So You Want to Go to the Moon" article. "The Invasion," art by Bob Powell; A couple watch a TV news broadcast chronicling an alien invasion and are terrified when Earth's military forces are quickly defeated; Fearing for their lives, they pack and literally run for the hills; They don't hear the news announcer then reveal that the invasion broadcast was an "original tele-screen drama entitled The Invasion From Mars!" Cloverine Salve ad featuring Yogi Berra.

Please note that we don't use a "comic guide" grading system, and OUR grading scale is completely different from standard comic book grading. Our "very good" is completely different from a comic book graded "very good". We provide images of the comic book covers, plus 2 interior 2-page spreads, which should allow you to get a sense of the condition of this comic book.

This is one of an excellent collection of 138 vintage comic books we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 138 separate auctions. NONE of these comics have any restoration (unless noted in our condition description) and all of them came from a small group of collectors who purchased them mostly when they were first published, and none have been "slabbed" or "graded"! And EVERY one of these 138 comics (including some really excellent ones) start at $1 with truly no reserve. This is the kind of buying opportunity every comic book collector dreams of, and when these auctions close on January 16, every one of these comics will have a new owner!

Condition: fair to good. Note that this comic book will be sent to the winning bidder in a brand new Mylite2 protective sleeve and a half-back 100% acid-free backing board.
