January 1942

Vol. 1 No. 1

An especially interesting piece of pre-war/WWII-era American pin-up publishing, and being the very first issue makes it considerably more appealing than an ordinary issue of the title.

Condition: Nice vintage condition for its age with expected handling and surface wear from an original 1942 publication. The cover remains colorful and presents very well. Please review the photos for condition and details.
