Description

Black Mask #41 May 1, 1923 (Pro-Distribution) CGC GD/VG 3.0 Cream to off-white pages. This issue's horror cover is one of the most terrifying pulp covers we've ever encountered, and with the rarity of this book, we don't know when we'll ever encounter it again. This features the cover story "The Gas Heater Mystery" by Ralph Cummins and "All Things Considered" by Frederick C. Davis. Bookery's Guide to Pulps Second Edition 2020 GD 2.0 value = $65; VG 4.0 value = $200. CGC census 10/25: 1 in 3.0, none higher.
