Thank you for this video. I contribute to the GCD. Currently we are not noting for individual '40s issues like this one, the fact that they were manufactured with half-wraps that were glued in production. We may add such info in the future. Regardless, it's always advisable to perform a page count and compare with our stated number - in this case, 56 interior pages plus 4 for the cover = total of 60. Hopefully, armed with info we've gathered, collectors can be confident regarding how manufacturing practices originally produced their copy. I might add that due to wartime paper restrictions, Adventure dropped to bi-monthly only briefly at the time.
That is a good looking book, Larry. I agree that it doesn’t need tengu tissue repair. Keep it a blue label! Congrats on getting it and a great first few steps well done.
Larry i watched this one back when you dropped it but forgot to comment--I love these single staple comics, and what a discovery that this one has the pages glued in. In addition to the great Nazi cover, the Starman Nazi story by Gardner Fox and Emil Gershwin is a real treat. The dust shadow in particular is mitigated from the aqueous deacidification bath. Paper is preserved and restored for the generations to come!

Terrific information! Thank you very much! It was a surprise for me. I had not come across this before.
