    Description

    The Thing! #5 Bethlehem pedigree (Charlton, 1952) CGC NM 9.4 Cream to off-white pages. Sometimes we find ourselves thinking that maybe Dr. Wertham (author of Seduction of the Innocent) was right. The good Dr. should have been warning parents about the kinds of comics their kids brought home if this particular issue was among the lot -- the decapitation scene depicted on this Lou Morales cover will give anyone nightmares! Condition-wise, this one is so good, it's scary... and it has a pedigreed background, to boot! Put your fears behind you and bid! Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $640. CGC census 12/05: 2 in 9.4, none higher.
