A Hardcover Bound Volume of Original Vintage Comic Books (measures approximately 7 1/2" x 10 1/4" [19 x 26 cm]) (Learn More)

Dell Comics Bound Volume, the hardcover collection of comic books published by the Dell Publishing Company. Dell Publishing is a publisher of books, magazines and comic books which was founded in 1921 by George T. Delacorte Jr.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a bound volume of five Four Color Comics (2nd Series #1 through #5) published by Dell Publishing in 1942. Where did this bound volume come from? Apparently, someone at the company had bound volumes like these created, likely soon after the comics were published (this bound volume has the names of the individual comics contained within printed in bold on the spine of the bound volume). This bound volume has five comics in it: Little Joe Four Color #1, Harold Teen Four Color #2, Alley Oop Four Color #3, Smilin' Jack Four Color #4, and Raggedy Ann and Andy Four Color #5. It is one of three bound volumes of comic books we are currently auctioning, all from the same consignor. He obtained these many decades ago when Dell Publishing was doing some "house cleaning"! The comic books are extremely fragile and darkened around the edges. The covers are not quite as fragile, because they were printed on better paper.

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.

Note: We have 11 images of this bound volume, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 11 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 1.

Note that due to the greater interest in this comic we have pictured EVERY single page of this comic, which means that you can see EVERY defect the comic has, AND get a good sense of its condition. While we gave the comic an overall condition grade (and sometimes describe the defects in words) please rely on the actual images of the comic to help you decide what YOU think its condition is, and then bid or not bid based on what you are seeing in the images. And if you have ANY doubt as to what the condition of the comic is, or whether you want it in the condition it is is, then please do not bid, as we do not want any retracted bids or returns if at all possible. If in doubt, do not bid!.

Condition: good. The bound volume surely originally contained comic books in excellent condition, but due to how they were stored, they are fragile and brown around the edges. The covers are not nearly as fragile, because they were printed on better paper. Look closely at our images before bidding on this bound volume of very rare comic books.
