An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures approximately 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 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: Midnight story starring Gabby, Doc Wackey, Sniffer, and Amelia Diggley. Daffy story. Black X story starring Batu, Inspector Beef Burton, and Rawles. Lady Luck story, art by Klaus Nordling. Citronella story. Insect Invasion text story starring Midnight. Batch Bachelor story, art by Michael Senich. The St. Louis Kid starring The Jester. Archie O'Toole story, art by Bernard Dibble. 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! 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. Note that we have pictured both covers and some interior page of this comic, which means that you can hopefully see most defects 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 we provide here 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: poor to fair. Learn More about condition grades
