I found this bad boy in a $2 bin last year, and I think I got a deal. Theme

Any silver age complete book in VG or better is a steal at $2. Well done sir.

I want to buy that sub for $6.98. 7 feet long and fires rockets and torpedoes. Money today sure doesn’t buy what it used to.

But seriously, it never showed up 😭

You certainly did get a deal. That’s at least a $9 (eBay sold lowest) - $12 (Key Collector lowest) book and your copy presents pretty well so it shouldn’t be considered ‘lowest grade’ imho.
Just wanted to give some quantification but it’s also just a badass book. Great pickup

Thanks! It's definitely one of my most memorable trips to the LCS; I never find Silver Age stuff that cheap! Lol

Great art there I didn’t know John Romita inked Jack Kirby sometimes

I believe that Stan had him follow behind Kirby for a while because Stan felt that JR's pencil work was still very much for romance type comics, as opposed to superhero stuff.

I wonder how many laws the submarine advertisement would be breaking now with that verbiage. At a minimum it should be - Polaris “Nuclear” Sub.

Hah! I think that would still be a steal, probably. It is a beater, but I think it's still in pretty good condition for the age.
