Wanted Comics #53 FR/GD 1.5 1953
Grade FR/GD 1.5
Year 1953
Publisher Toytown

This is a low grade item. The story will be complete and readable, but the item itself will have low eye appeal and will display major damage. Allowed defects for this grade include: non-story elements such as coupons, ad pages, or Marvel Value Stamps cut or torn out of the book; spine split of up to 2/3 the length of the book; a missing back cover provided the front cover is still attached; severe water damage, residue, mold, or paper deterioration due to oxidation; vertical book-length crease; detached cover or centerfold; writing or other marks on the cover; major tears; discoloration, staining, or brittleness.

Description

Cover by John Buscema. Stories and art by John Buscema, Mort Leav, Mort Lawrence, and Bill Woolfolk. Bloody pre-Code crime comics, in imitation of Crime Does Not Pay - including a top-hatted, otherworldly narrator. The twist is that the publisher offers wanted posters (and rewards) for real-life criminals. Tony sets up a racket supplying guns to other criminals. Exiled crook Louie will do anything to get back to America, in an early story (and cover) by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. The Great Unsolved Mysteries contest invites readers to ponder the murder of an elderly miser, in a boarding house where everyone wanted his money. For Hire....Guns For Killers; Murderous Cargo; Great Unsolved Mysteries: Murder of a Miser; Wanted: Raymond Wilt; The Too Smart Killer! Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color.
