Description: First issue of ultra-scarce Jazz Age regional publication Hi-Jinks published and edited out of St. Paul by Guy F. Humphreys. Featuring photos of starlets, art deco illustration, jokes and commentary on life in the 20s and an excellent cover of a flapper riding a happy winged moth while toasting to Prohibition. A solid copy but with some defects, I'd call this upper low-grade. The main issue with the cover is sun fading. You can see a square where something sat atop the magazine as the rest of the cover was affected by the sun. Some spot-staining and ticks/creases at spine. The spine is split from the top of the issue to the top staple but a thin piece of archival tape seals the split. Original rusted staples replaced with vintage staples, and there was little migration. Good paper quality and color, but there are some dings and creases. Not an ideal copy, but nonetheless a good one, and the only copy of this first issue I've ever seen. Jazz from Jay to Zee and Fun on the Half Shell. I understand my ask may be high on some of these magazines from the 20s I'll be offering, but I've been at it long enough to know you're likely to only get one chance (if that) at such ghost-like artifacts. I'm not an expert grader, so please look carefully at the many quality photos and determine the grade and condition for yourself. I'm happy to answer any questions. If you buy multiple items, ask about a combined shipping discount - I am happy to include a few comics or pulps in the same parcel, as that works for both me and you. Comics and magazines will be shipped bagged and boarded and sandwiched between cardboard with care to keep stickier tapes away from the collectible, just as I like to receive them. I pride myself in doing my part towards fast shipping, as I'll almost always ship out the same day or next after payment. Returns accepted within 30 days, buyer pays shipping unless something is missing from description or not visible in photos. Look at my other listings for similar comics, pulps, and magazines!
