Item description:

Three Golden Age Wilbur Comics issues published by MLJ Magazines, each with a 10-cent cover price and the ‘Archie Series’ branding. Included are Wilbur #34 (December, cover shows Laurie and Wilbur at a soda shop), Wilbur #33 (October, with a handwritten name on the cover, depicts a group social scene), and Wilbur #41 (February, set outside a theater, featuring Wilbur and his friends). These comics are celebrated as ‘America’s Son of Fun,’ and provide a snapshot of post-war American humor and youth culture. The back covers display classic period advertisements, including prizes for boys and girls, photo offers, and the famous Red Ryder BB gun. Visible wear includes creasing, edge tears, spine splitting, and some writing, suggesting mid-to-low collector grades, typical for unrestored comics of this age. Ideal for early Archie universe collectors and comic history enthusiasts.
