Showcasing an incredibly raw, striking post-apocalyptic cover by the legendary artist Lawrence Sterne Stevens, this issue anchors the complete book-length dystopian classic 'The Torch' by Jack Bechdolt. Given the cross-era appeal of Jack Bechdolt's foundational literature and Lawrence's magnificent graphic art, this high-eye-appeal specimen delivers excellent standalone display value and long-term collector interest.

The front cover is worn with corner creasing, while the back cover is in noticeably better condition with brighter colours and less surface wear. The spine is heavily worn with chipping and colour loss.
