Description
Suspense Comics #3 (Continental Magazines, 1944) CGC FN+ 6.5 Off-white pages. Ever since its Alex Schomburg bondage cover was featured on the frontispiece of Gerber's Photo-Journal, collectors have been in a feeding frenzy to obtain a copy of this book. Its classic cover, the often missing centerfold story "83 Days On A Life-Raft", and a seven pager by L. B. Cole simply add to the excitement of collectors. Gerber rates this comic as "very rare" and Overstreet calls it "scarce" and ranks it among the 100 most valuable Golden Age comics. There have only been nine unrestored copies graded by CGC to date, and only two issues top this one. CGC notes, "Very small piece of tape on centerfold at staple." Overstreet 2006 FN 6.0 value = $6,000; VF 8.0 value = $12,000. CGC census 7/06: 1 in 6.5, 2 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
Bottom Spine Chip Out
Interior Tape
Left Top Back Cover Chip Out
Right Top Front Cover Chip Out
Spine Small Wear
Top Back Cover Stain
