Description

Spicy Mystery Stories #22 March 1937 (Culture) CGC VF+ 8.5 Off-white pages. This spicy number includes a bondage / torture / branding cover by Delos Palmer. The incredible cleanness of the Spicy Mystery logo alone is eye-catching, but ever more so accented against an immaculate cover. We last sold a married, trimmed, and brittle GD copy for $300. We have only seen one other copy above VG to date, and expect a bidding battle for this bound blonde. Bookery's Guide to Pulps Second Edition 2020 VF 8.0 value = $750. CGC census 9/25: 1 in 8.5, none higher. NOTE: The newly released Bookery's Guide to Pulps: Revised Third Edition 2025 VF 8.0 value for this issue is $3,000.
From the Dr. Richard Meli Collection.
