CBCS certified: VG (4.0). From the Personal Collection of Jerry Garcia. Off-white/white pages. Cover: Johnny Craig. Scripts: Carl Wessler, uncredited others. Art: Reed Crandall, Joe Orlando, George Evans, Graham Ingels. Provenance: From the Collection of Thommy Burns, author of numerous essays for Fantagraphics's EC Artists' Library series, who obtained this Garcia Collection mag from Bonhams' December 10, 2019 "A San Francisco Rock Star's Guitars" auction.
Thommy Burns says: "This CBCS graded 4.0 copy of MD #4 comes from the collection of Grateful Dead founder Jerry Garcia, a comic book enthusiast with a particular love of EC Comics. Garcia had a nearly complete set of ECs, with multiple copies of certain issues. Parts of his collection have been sold at various times, this particular comic was part of a lot sold through Bonhams recently. A piece of comic book and rock and roll history in one, this well-presenting book will be a great addition to your EC or Dead collection!"
