CGC graded 9.0 copy of “Focus” #5 published by Atlas Comics in May 1953, featuring an iconic Marilyn Monroe cover. The issue is encapsulated by CGC with White Pages designation and notes referencing the Marilyn Monroe cover along with an Ernie Kovacs article. The striking black-and-white portrait cover of Monroe remains one of the more visually recognizable celebrity-related Atlas publications of the early 1950s.

The comic has been professionally graded and encapsulated by CGC as 9.0 Near Mint with White Pages.

“Focus” was an unusual hybrid publication produced during the early Atlas Comics era, blending celebrity culture, crime stories, sensational journalism, and entertainment features during the height of postwar American magazine publishing. Issues featuring Marilyn Monroe are especially sought after due to her enduring status as one of the defining cultural and Hollywood icons of the twentieth century.

Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962) rose from model and contract actress to become one of the most famous women in the world through films including “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “The Seven Year Itch,” and “Some Like It Hot.” Her image became synonymous with 1950s American popular culture, glamour, and celebrity, and she remains among the most collected and recognizable figures in entertainment history.
