Five-Score Comic Monthly #6 (1958) — VG/F (5.0)

An Australian K.G. Murray giant — 100 pages of repackaged DC sci-fi, adventure, and mystery from the late ’50s, with all logos scrubbed and dialogue tweaked for the local market. These Murray digests are cult favorites: oddball edits, deep-cut reprints, and a ton of Bronze-Age-at-heart charm long before the Bronze Age existed.

This issue leans heavy into space opera, time travel, science-fantasy, and creature features — with early work by Murphy Anderson, Nick Cardy, Curt Swan, and more.

Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes — VG/F (5.0)

Solid mid-grade for a fragile digest-style book. Cover shows general wear, mild creasing, and small spine stresses. Corners lightly rounded; edge wear present but stable. Back cover has light handling wear and scattered soiling. Interior pages are off-white, complete, and firmly bound — above-average condition for a 1950s K.G. Murray with this page count. A strong, collectible example.
