American Comics Update: Quirky Corner: Blonde Phantom reprints in Jet Comics
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Something a bit niche for your consideration this week, and a rarity that you won’t find many. if any, of on the market. This is a regular comic-sized supplement to the European edition of the New York Star Dec 1948, containing, beneath an admittedly nondescript cover, what appears to be a rebound copy of Blonde Phantom #19. As far as we have been able to ascertain, this supplement (called Jet Comics) rebound the interiors of a comic with a new generic cover, in much the same way as the later UK Double Double Comics, so there are probably several different comics lurking under this cover (one issue at a time). This appears to be a rebind rather than a reprint. Blonde Phantom #19 was dated September 1948, just three months before this. Three Blonde Phantom stories, probably by Ken Bald, and one Sub-Mariner story with Namora, probably by Mike Sewkowsky. Nice enough copy with small chip out top centre cover and small lower spine split. A fraction of the price of Blonde Phantom #19. Lots of images shown here.
