Weird Horrors #4 (1952) Graded CGC 4.0 VG

This copy of Weird Horrors #4—published by St. John Publications in November 1952—has been professionally evaluated, graded, and encapsulated by CGC (Certified Guaranty Company).

• Classic Pre-Code Horror Rarity: Released during the peak of the 1950s Pre-Code Horror craze, St. John’s Weird Horrors is widely celebrated among collectors for its eerie covers and dark, shock-driven stories. Featuring notable artwork from Golden Age masters like Bernard Baily and Joe Kubert, pre-code titles from St. John are notoriously tough to acquire due to smaller print runs and newsstand destruction prior to the implementation of the Comics Code Authority.

• What a 4.0 Means: A CGC grade of 4.0 Very Good represents a solid, complete mid-grade copy with strong historical appeal. The issue shows moderate, honest vintage wear (such as cover creasing, spine stress, light surface scuffing, or mild paper toning) typical of a 1950s newsstand survivor, while retaining full structural integrity and complete presentation.

• Guaranteed Authenticity: CGC experts independently verify that the book is an official, original 1st printing from 1952 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 vintage newsprint from dust, moisture, UV degradation, and further handling wear—ensuring its historical value and pre-code horror status remain preserved indefinitely.
