Why this issue matters

First appearance of Pam - the earliest non-flashback appearance on record for this character.

First appearance of Nick - the earliest non-flashback appearance on record for this character.

First appearance (promotional) of Melody Lane - the earliest appearance on record is a publisher promotion, not a story; a canonical story debut may come later.

Before you buy

  • Golden-age paper is brittle. Ask about page suppleness and check edges for chips in the photos.
  • Check for trimmed edges, married covers, and clipped coupons - all common on books this old.
  • Confirm the indicia matches this plate; many golden-age titles changed names mid-run.
