Superman #17 from 1942. Beautiful yellow cover with Superman holding Hitler and Hirohito by the scruff of the neck while straddling the world. It’s difficult to estimate how important this cover is and how rare the book is to find. Book is complete with 68 pages and presents well, but has a spine split up to the middle of the book. Cover is still attached at the top staple and the pages and inside covers are very clean and white. That’s very important on a book this age. There’s what looks to be critter chews in the lower left corner and lower right edge of the front cover and there’s a subscription crease through the book as well. Back cover has a little paper loss at the lower spine. If you were grading the book by the page quality, this would be high grade. That said, I’ve never had a book not arrive in the condition sent.
