Black Mask Detective July 1951 - From what I can gather, this is the final issue of the incredibly long running series. The final issue of a series is generally among the rarest in any run. The edges are straight and solid with a couple of minor nicks. There is some scuffing along the left cover but no reading line. The spine is solid complete and tight. The back cover is good as well. There is a faint crease in the cover that looks like it might have happened 50 years ago. The paper quality is the normal lighter in the center fading out to darker around the edges. I am not sure how scarce this book is but the other pics I came up with when I looked were in pretty sad shape so this might be one of the better condition copies floating around. And now a word from our sponsor:Its easy to get jaded when you have a massive collection of something but that just doesnt happen with the Spicy books. This is perhaps the best condition and most complete collection of Spicy's that has been discovered so far! Each one just exudes personality and make you want to see more of them. The cover paintings are exceptionally cool and the books would be a beautiful addition to any collection. A very cool book. This book comes from a collection which started over 75 years ago and has sat in a basement until a month or so ago - you will be the 2nd true owner of this book.
