*Horror 1940-1959: Also from the Bute Collection and from 1953 and Story publishers, issue #14 of Mysterious Adventures, presenting a good standard of chills and thrills in the Pre-Code vein. No particularly distinguished artists, but a nicely competent batch of gruesome story-telling. This is quite a reasonable lower-graded copy; the cover is a little worn and creased around the edges, with a minor tear at top edge, a small residual piece of tape at top spine, more on back cover and a small piece of tape on inside back cover. Staples are firm if a tiny bit rusty and pages are a good quality off-white to cream. Prospective buyers should note that a small corner is torn off one story page; although it affects panels on pages 6 & 7 of the lead story, it doesn’t intrude on the story in any meaningful way.
