American Update: The Bute Collection: A Timely Intervention: Sub-Mariner #6 1942
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: A true Golden Age gem from the Bute Collection. Sub-Mariner #6 (Summer 1942 edition) features two long Sub-Mariner stories drawn by Carl Pfeufer and a 20 page Angel story. With a classic cover by Alex Schomburg, who drew many of the Timely super-hero covers. Cover colour is good if a little dingy. There is a long upper spine split of about 10cm (cover off top staple), and a lower spine split of about 8 cm. Tiny chip out of top centre cover and a couple of insect marks causing two small holes though the comic near the spine but below the bottom margin. Small letter in pen or pencil on ‘R’ of logo, tiny scuff mark on Namor’s leg and a couple of soft, short, non-colour breaking creases bottom left of cover. But overall presents very well. We see precious few Golden Age Timelys and the last time we had one demand was phenomenal. High resolution images are available on request, but there is a good chance someone will order this before we can get those to you.
