An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/4" [18 x 26 cm]) (Learn More) Smash Comics was a pre-code superhero crime action adventure comic book series which was published from August 1939 through October 1949. Smash originally ran Spirit stories by Will Eisner, but during World War II, Eisner was in the Armed Forces, and Smash added a Spirit lookalike character called "Midnight" to take his place! Note that the series continued as Lady Luck for the final five issues which were published from December 1949 through August 1950 Artist: Jack Cole Important Added Info: Note that when Will Eisner was serving in World War II, he could not draw The Spirit, so Quality Comics had Jack Cole create a lookalike character called "Midnight", in case Eisner did not return from the war! Contents: Cover art by Jack Cole. Midnight story, art by Jack Cole. Daffy story. Black X story, art by Dan Zolnerowich. Lady Luck story, art by Klaus Nordling. Spunky story, art by Sid Lazarus. Doc Throws The Bull text story starring Midnight. Batch Bachelor story, art by Michael Senich. The Jester story. 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. Learn More about condition grades
