American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: All Star Comics #6 1941
*DC: From the Bute Collection this week, we’re really pleased to have an early issue of All-Star Comics, #6 from 1941 starring of course the Justice Society of America. After being a guest in #3-4, Johnny Thunder replaces the Flash as a member in this full-length tale of initiation written by Gardner Fox, in multiple chapters by various artists: E E Hibbard (inc cover), Stan Asch, Cliff Young, Bernard Baily, Ben Flinton, Irwin Hasen & Sheldon Moldoff. This is a lower graded copy with a worn but virtually intact spine, several colour-breaking creases around the edges (but a decent cover image), and two short pieces of tape over inside front and back covers and adjacent pages at staple level. Other such pieces of tape appear occasionally inside, but the staples, as far as can determined, are sound. An 8 cm piece of tape on the back cover seals a medium tear. There is a small, fingernail size hole in the back cover and two tiny puncture holes in the front cover in the logo area which penetrate a few pages into the comic. Reasonable off-white to cream pages. Fairly solid if a bit worn.
