Description:
CGC certified: VG/Fine (5.0). Off-white to white pages. Cover: Maurice Whitman. Art: Alex Blum, Rafael Astarita. GPAnalysis: A 5.0 sold for $840 in February 2022, and another sold for $2280 in June 2021.
After years of relative neglect, cover artist Maurice Whitman is starting to get his proper recognition as one of the best "Good Girl" artists of the pre-Code years. Philatelists take note: this issue's text feature, entitled "Pulling Boners," does not allude to male readers' response to Whitman's cheesecake art — rather, it's an out-of-nowhere disquisition on postage stamp misprints.
