Item Description
There are 13 known copies of this book. It has been listed as scarce since
the third edition of the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. Considering that
edition came out over thirty years ago, this is a long time for a promotional
book to be listed as a scarce. Several years ago, CGC attempted to locate every
known copy of this book by offering free certification of each copy they were
sent. Eventually, they certified a total of twelve copies. They did find a
thirteenth with some apparent restoration. (Five b&w copies also turned up
in the publisher's files). The scarcity of the book is not the only factor
contributing to its desirability, as the subject matter itself makes this
giveaway notorious in its own right. Published by the Catechetical Guild, the
book makes no bones about the terrors of communism. Today, some may judge the
book for its overly serious tone, however, in 1950, communism was an urgent and
very sensitive topic. This book serves as an important reminder of a different
time in America. The publisher had made a name for itself while publishing Topix
Comics, which promised to be "Timeless, Truthful, Telling." After publishing
this promotional giveaway, they continued with titles such as Our Lady of Fatima
and God's Heroes in America. The pages are off-white to white. The book is
CGC-certified 9.2 (NM-). According to the CGC Census, this is the third highest
certified copy.
