Was looking at my Timely's today and found this in the box. A very weird one. It is titled "It's Amazing" and is a digest dated 1949. Has Ripley Believe it or Not stories. Anyone ever see one of these?

Interesting. Its not in Comicbase (not to surprising) but it also does not appear to be in the Grand Comic Database. How many pages is it and is it mainly pictures or text?

Like it says on the cover, it is 132 pages. It is just like the back cover with illustrations and a short description of the fact being presented. It is square bound and printed with slick covers on newsprint just like a regualr comic. First one I've seen.

I got 2 new caps from the Seattle con this weekend.
