Grade: F- 5.5
Indicia publisher: Fiction House Magazines.
Cover artist unknown.
The Skull Squad stars in “Coffin-Slugs for the Luftwaffe,” Fiction House's signature aviation squadron taking on German fighters in aerial combat over European skies. The story delivers the publisher's trademark blend of dogfighting action and military camaraderie that made Wings Comics the premier aviation title of the war years.
Backup features include Grease Monkey Griffin and “Suicide” Smith stories, along with Parachute Patrol — Fiction House's stable of recurring aviation heroes each getting their moment in wartime adventure scenarios ranging from behind-enemy-lines missions to aircraft maintenance drama.
Published just three months before Pearl Harbor, this issue captures Fiction House at their peak as the aviation comics specialists, with multiple recurring characters and the 52-page format that gave them room to develop real stories.
Condition F- 5.5 — Nearly sharp. A few tiny spine ticks and slight corner wear, but otherwise a very attractive specimen.. Noting: spine wear along full length with stress at staple areas, corner blunting on upper corners, and general handling wear consistent with age. <
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out at robopictocomics@gmail.com.
