AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY PRODUCTIONS
(W/A/CA) Joe Kubert, Norman Mauer

Remember when comics were a dime and you could get that first issue of Joe Kubert and Norman Maurer's Three Stooges #1 from the local newsstand? We don't either! It costs a couple hundred bucks now to get that issue from an auction site, and it ain't fair! So, we are bringing back this classic from 1953 in all its original eye-poking glory for today's readers to enjoy.
