Rare piece of Golden Age comic history: Lucky Star #4, published circa 1951 by Nation-Wide Comics (Nationwide Publishers). This rare, digest-sized (5" x 7") Western series is highly sought after by collectors, primarily for featuring early artwork by legendary EC Comics and MAD Magazine illustrator Jack Davis.This specific copy is a unique regional promotional variant. It features an original stamped/affixed star label on the front cover reading: "Compliments of your SANTONE Dealer."

Co. out of San Antonio, Texas.Condition Notes (Please Review Photos Carefully):This book is in Low Grade (Fair/Good) condition with significant honest wear from age. Key flaws to note:
Front Cover: There is a notable chunk missing from the bottom right corner (affecting the border and part of the promotional star label background, though text remains legible).
Spine & Edges: Heavy spine wear, color breaking, creasing, and edge chipping throughout.
Interior: Complete and readable, but pages show expected tanning and brittleness common with 1950s newsprint.A wonderful, highly collectible filler copy of an incredibly hard-to-find 1950s promotional Western digest!Shipping & Handling: Will be shipped securely packaged flat with cardboard backing to ensure safe transit.
