{"product_id":"suspense-comics-7-facsimile-edition","title":"SUSPENSE COMICS #7 Facsimile Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnother rare issue from very unusual publisher Continental, featuring a classic \u003cstrong\u003eL.B. Cole\u003c\/strong\u003e cover and some very fine stories inside. \"Bedlam\" by \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Giunta. \u003c\/strong\u003eGiunta took a young Frazetta under his wing for Frank's first comic work; you can see the influence here. \"Mr. Nobody's Clue Corner,\" by \u003cstrong\u003eL. B. Cole\u003c\/strong\u003e. \"Curse of the Copperhead,\" by \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge H. Appel\u003c\/strong\u003e. \"The Sands of Time\" by \u003cstrong\u003eNina Albright. \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Sherry Flippe,\" art by future Atlas artist \u003cstrong\u003eTony Di Preta\u003c\/strong\u003e. \"Murder Is On The Air\" starring Spirit rip-off, The Grey Mask, by \u003cstrong\u003eMaurice Del Bourgo. \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Caligstranno the Great,\" by \u003cstrong\u003eJack Alderman. \u003c\/strong\u003e\"License for Murder,\" art by the excellent \u003cstrong\u003eRudy Palais\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\nContinental published very few titles, but they get a lot of attention these days for the rarity and appeal of their cover art. Over 12 issues of \u003cem\u003eSuspense, \u003c\/em\u003ethere are classics by Alex Schomberg (#3, with the KKK and bondage) and L.B. Cole (#8 with a spider-web and more bondage, and #10 and 11 (also available in facsimile in this series). They feature strange groping hands and the Devil!\n\nThe excellent woman editor \u003cstrong\u003eRae Herman\u003c\/strong\u003e is speculated to have edited this issue as well as most others; she went on to edit and write for Orbit\/Story, who published \u003cem\u003eLove Journal, Love Diary, Wanted\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWesterner\u003c\/em\u003e. These were four more exceptionally good titles, in this case from the late 1940s and early '50s.\n\nContinental also published this hit list of more key 1940s titles: \u003cem\u003eCaptain Aero, Cat-Man\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eTerrific\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59641430507806,"sku":"SUSP07","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/susp07-suspense-comics-vol-7-facs-ed.jpg?v=1784505257","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/suspense-comics-7-facsimile-edition","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
