BOLD STORIES #1: This is one of the truly rare comics of the early 1950s, and an BOLD experiment (pun intended) in merging the mainstream comic with the adult-oriented cartoon magazines. It only lasted for three issues, and a fine quality copy today can cost hundreds, even thousands Ð no wonder, considering the quality of the work inside. This book contains ÒThe Ogre Of ParisÓ by Wally Wood, ÒMiss SherlockÓ by Jack O' Brian, and there's little doubt that jack Kirby had a hand in ÒCriss Cross.Ó Many stories have yet to be definitively attributed, but you can see the talented ribaldry throughout. By the standards of some, both today and back when it was published, BOLD STORIES might be low-brow, definitely sexist, and not for the eyes of the kids.... but this is true comic history!

It was part of an experiment from Kirby Publishing in the early 1950s Ð a series of adult-oriented humor and suspense magazines geared toward the mainstream rather than the back room. It took advantage of some of the top talents of the day Ð in the case of CANDID TALES some Wally Wood and lot of Bob Powell! Sadly, the experiment, and Kirby Publishing, was gone in a matter of a couple years,but we have the benefits of modern publishing terminology to bring these great books back to life! CANDID TALES ran for two issues, both of which can be rare and expensive to find. Here we have CANDID TALES #1 Ð just as funny today as it was over 70 years ago Ð although perhaps considered a little less appropriate and less socially correct, but I think that only makes them better!

NOTE; This is the full-sized version. You can also find it in a digest-sized version, closer the the original published size.

THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK (AND MANY MORE) IS ONLY DUE TO THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF BOB RICE.

Perfect Nightstand Organizer and Looks Amazing
Color: Dark Brown
This valet tray is exactly what I was looking for. The wood looks great and feels sturdy, and it keeps all my everyday items in one place. I use it for my keys, wallet, watch, and phone, and my nightstand looks much neater now. Its great to keep all the thing you need when leaving the house in one place. It’s the perfect size, well made, and looks nice enough to leave out on display. Would definitely recommend this if you want an easy way to keep your essential items organized or need a solid gift idea.

Great for entryway organization
Color: Light Brown
This is a great addition to an enterior entry surface to reduce clutter. I place wallet, knife, keys, and other items here when I return and haven't misplaced a wallet or keys since. It looks great, resists dust well, and is durable. The perfect size for a sofa table, or entry table.

Slight delamination
Color: Black
I purchased this to better contain all the stuff I keep in my pockets when I change pants. I keep it on my nightstand. The size is perfect for my needs. It seems fairly well made. However as others have mentioned, the bottom rubber lining arrived slightly delaminated. In my case, it’s not a huge issue as the area is a very thin line. I would recommend that the manufacturer do a little better job with the gluing process during assembly and pay more attention performing a QC check. Other than this small complaint, I am satisfied with this tray.
