What’s New & Updated April 2, 2023

April 2, 2023

The list is short this week, but the content is huge. Previously to this week, collectors, including myself, were aware of this one issue of Central Pennsylvania Trend magazine containing “The Terrible Weapon” by Dean. However, all I’d ever seen was a photocopy of the cover and the story. Amazingly, there’s a mint copy on eBay right now. (You can look, but as of this writing, it’s going for more than $1500. I’m no longer bidding.)

However, what we’ve learned from this sale is that not only was Dean listed as an “Associate Editor” for this issue, but also there’s an article titled “R and X Ratings” by our old friend K.R. Dwyer!

Check out the entries and some additional related photos via the links below.
