Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion #1 (nn) ~ US Pictorial/Charlton Comics, about Fall 1955. Heinz Promotional Variant, 10¢ but no cover price. Don Heck cover and some interior art, some Jack Sparling interior, photos of TV cast including Buster Crabbe. This is the first issue of the comic series based on the TV show. It only ran four issues, three of which were from Charlton. US Pictorial is apparently a transitional company between Comic Media/Toby and Charlton. Cover art by Don Heck. Standard U.S. saddle-stitched comic book. Light wear, very minor edge chipping, a lovely copy, FINE+. Now this is one of the best goldenage deals you are likely to find. If you are serious about vintage comics then there is no excuse not to own this one! See my other lots for a variety of other warehouse find comics.

As always, grading of comics is subjective so check out my scan and be sure this copy would have a home in your collection before bidding or buying.

Vintage popular priced books, paperbacks, comic books, and magazines are subject to aging of the cheap internal paper, weakness or drying of the spine glue resulting in occasional loose pages, rusting of staples, and loss of original lamination (particularly early Dells). Previous bookseller's prices written lightly inside are typical and not considered a defect. I do not consider names written or stamped inside the book/magazine to be a serious defect but I note them if they are present. I do consider tape of any kind to be a serious defect and will only offer items with tape defects if they are particularly scarce or desirable. Previous seller's price tags may not be mentioned if unobtrusive.
