Crooks pretend to be Soviet authorities to swindle Russian immigrants in America, in one of several stories this issue with art most likely by Bill Molno, ghosting for an ailing Joe Shuster. A couple is conned by phony stock-market advisors. Plus advice to the reader on avoiding con artists.

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 front cover, the back cover, the first and last interior two-page spreads, and the center spread of the comic book, which should allow you to get a sense of the condition of this comic book.

Condition: fair. This rare comic is in much lesser condition. Please look at all our images to get a good sense of its exact condition. The comic will be sent to the winning bidder in a Mylite sleeve with an acid-free backing board.
