Description

Mad #5 Gaines File pedigree 4/12 (EC, 1953) CGC NM+ 9.6 White pages. This is the low distribution issue, pulled from many newsstands due to the "humorous" William Gaines biography, which stated he was "peddling dope near nursery schools." Wally Wood provides art for a Blackhawk parody; Bill Elder does the cover and "Outer Sanctum" story art. John Severin and Jack Davis also contribute interior art. This white-page wonder is currently unsurpassed in CGC's census report for issue #5. Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $2,200. CGC census 11/05: 3 in 9.6, none higher.
