$69300.00

A CGC 1.0 (Brittle Pages) copy of Suspense Comics #3 stands as arguably the single most important pre-Code horror and bondage cover ever produced, defined by its shocking imagery and enduring notoriety. Illustrated by legendary Golden Age master Alex Schomburg, the cover depicts a bound woman threatened by a hooded figure visually reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), creating one of the most provocative and unforgettable images of the 1940s. Schomburg’s dramatic composition, razor-sharp detail, and masterful use of shadows elevate the scene beyond pulp sensationalism into an iconic piece of comic book history. Even in 1.0 with brittle pages, the book remains a true blue-chip trophy due to its extreme scarcity, its status as the definitive pre-Code bondage image, and Schomburg’s towering influence on Golden Age cover illustrations.
