Rare! 1938Centaur Comics was one of the earliest and quirkiest publishers to compete in the comic book boom of the late 30s. Publishing titles like Detective Eye, Western Picture Stories, Star Ranger Funnies, and Amazing-Man Comics, the imprint covered all of the bases, dipping into every genre under the sun. This oddball comic, Little Giant Comics was one of the anthology books that flooded the marketplace in those early, anything goes days of comics, when the American Dream was being lived one dime at a time. Kids were snapping up funny books in droves, and ambitious businessmen were more than happy to supply issues of all shapes and sizes, these truly were the "Wild West" days of the industry.
The amusing Martin Filchock cover piece on this oddball contribution to comic book history is in decent condition, retaining its color scheme and structural integrity. The value in this book is its rarity, and unconventional design, fans of the offbeat curios of comics early days will be vying for this special book.
