Description:

VG+ (4.5). COSMIC AEROPLANE PEDIGREE. Spine a bit rolled, a few small stress marks to spine, a few short edge nicks and tears, two light creases to bottom right corner area of front cover and pages, a few pinpricks to top left corner of front cover not penetrating paper. Occasional penciled check marks in margins as called for by pedigree. Off-white pages. Clean and press to 6.0 or better. Cover and stories: Bob Powell. GPAnalysis: No recorded sales in any grade. There are two recorded sales for #11 (another all-Powell ish): A 4.5 sold for $244 in January 2021, and a 7.0 sold for $528 in April 2020.

Cosmic Aeroplane copy, with just a few stray pencil checks due to the dearth of cockpit cuties (the guy who amassed the Cosmic Aeroplane pedigree had a thing for four-color femme fatales, and added pencil checks almost exclusively to pulchritude panels).

A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $40, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Eight of the 12 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
