American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Wonderworld Comics #10 (1940)
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Wonderworld Comics was an anthology comic from Fox that ran from 1939-1942. Issue #10 features (and cover features) super-hero the Flame, super-hero Yarko the Great, humour with Shorty Shortcake, Adventure/Spy with reporter Patty O’Day, Detective/Mystery with Dr Fung, Western with Tex Maxon, War with Spark Stevens and K51 Spies At War and more. Something for everyone. A stellar line-up of creators includes Lou Fine (cover and Flame story), Will Eisner, Bob Powell, S M Iger, Klaus Nordling and others. This copy presents well, with good cover colours and reflectivity. No cover markings, but a few light creases that don’t break colour. Corners are square and supple pages a surprising white to off-white. There are two distinct defects: the spine is split from the bottom halfway up and is thus off bottom staple, which is also loose at the centrefold (the top staple is tight and firm through to the centre). There is also a (little) finger sized chip out at the top of the spine. A nice-looking copy. High resolution images are available on request.
