Horrors of the Underworld 15 CGC 7.0 L.B. Cole 1954 Bloodshot Eyeball Cop Kills!

Description: Scarce LB Cole Comic: Horrors! This Auction Includes: LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: HORRORS OF THE UNDERWORLD #15 CGC 7.0 With Unsurpassed Pure White Pages, From L.B. Cole's Little Comics Publishing Company, Star Publications. This Was The April, 1954, Final Issue Of This Cult-Classic Short-Lived Title That Alternated Between War, Then Horror, Before Ending With The Violent True Crime Genre. It Boasts A Lurid L.B. Cole Cover That Evokes The Impression Of A Glaring Bloodshot Eyeball At First Glimpse And From Far Away, But Upon Closer Inspection It's A Shocking Death: Depicting The Police Getting The Drop On The Criminal, And Cruelly Executing Him With A Close-Range Shotgun Blast To The Back. Note The Bloody Veins In The Logo To Remind The Viewer Of The Bloodshed That Awaits Such Lawbreakers, -- And Awaits The Eager Reader In The Pages Within! (As Only LB Cole Could Accomplish, Along With His Trademark Black And Yellow Contrasts And Stark Realism To The Gritty Brutal Demise Of The "Mad Bandit"!) It Is Crucial To Any Crime Fan Or Cole Cover Collector And Is Rare In Decent Shape So Don't Miss This Chance To Score A World Class Example Or You May End Up Settling For An Ugly Reader Copy Or Humiliating "Facsimile" Instead. THIS HAD AN ORIGINAL PRICE OF TEN CENTS. The Crime, Shock, Adventure, Suspense, Mystery And Cops & Robbers Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, pet-free, climate-controlled environment. Although it's already seventy years old it retains heavy gloss and blazing bright colors along with snowy white paper inside it; It looks as if it has barely aged a day! Only The Sole Top-Certified Copy Has Ever Sold In Slightly Better Shape At 7.5, And There Are Zero 7.0's On GPA, So This 'Runner-Up' Gem Will Surely Garner Much Interest From Discriminating Cole Collectors. (Note: The Last Time The Census-Topping Copy In VF- 7.5 Sold Was A Decade-Plus Ago, And Even That Unmatched Specimen Only Contains "Cream To Off-White Pages" So This Blinding-Bright White-Paged Stunner Is Arguably A Once-In-A-Lifetime Acquisition For The Serious High-Grade Fanatic!)
