Description
This mid-20th century romance comic book is “My Personal Problem #4”, published by Ajax-Farrell in November 1956. It is noted as the “Last issue” of the series. The comic is professionally preserved in a clear, sealed CGC Universal Grade slab, assigned a grade of 4.0 (Very Good) with Off-White to White pages, and features a unique certification number (4464457008) and hologram. The paper cover prominently displays the title in red script against a black background, with an illustration of a distraught woman in the foreground reflecting “Once I was his girl! How could he forget me this way? Oh, there must still be a chance… But how? How can I win him again?”. This central image is surrounded by smaller vignettes and text balloons depicting “My Secret Girl,” “Who Can I Tell?,” “She’s Too Popular!,” and “I’ve Got a Rival!”, along with a group scene asking, “Who’s your date, Dick?”. The cover also features the “APPROVED BY THE COMICS CODE AUTHORITY” seal and an original price of “10” cents. The main figure is depicted holding a book partially visible as “HIST” and text “Also I WANT TO GET MARRIED” is visible on her dress.
