Beware #10 (1954) Graded CGC 3.5 VG- Frank Frazetta Cover

This copy of Beware #10—published by Trojan Magazines (Merit Publications) in July 1954—has been professionally evaluated, graded, and encapsulated by CGC (Certified Guaranty Company).

• Late Pre-Code Horror Classic: Published just months before the enactment of the Comics Code Authority, this late-run issue of Beware showcases the wild, graphic horror artwork and macabre storytelling that defined Trojan's short-lived pre-code line. Packed with gory, suspenseful tales of terror, 1954 issues from Trojan are highly sought after by collectors seeking peak, boundary-pushing 1950s horror before strict censorship took over.

• What a 3.5 Means: A CGC grade of 3.5 Very Good- represents a complete, presentable lower-mid grade copy of a scarce Pre-Code Horror book. The issue exhibits noticeable, honest wear from extensive vintage reading (such as spine stress, cover creasing, surface scuffing, or minor edge tears) while remaining structurally intact with clean, fully legible cover presentation.

• Guaranteed Authenticity: CGC experts independently verify that the book is an official, original 1st printing from 1954 and confirm its condition before sealing.

• Permanent Preservation: Housed in CGC’s archival-quality, tamper-evident plastic shell ("slab"), this heavy-duty casing protects the fragile 1950s newsprint from dust, moisture, UV degradation, and further paper deterioration—ensuring its historical value and pre-code horror legacy remain preserved indefinitely.
