Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. November, 1958 issue of High: The Man's Home Companion, founded and published by Editor Bernard Baily, a comic book legend. Baily's extensive resume included contributions to the seminal comic book Wow - What a Magazine! in the Golden Age 1930's, creation of the adventure feature "Tex Thomson," which debuted in Action Comics #1, the landmark comic book that introduced Superman, co-created the DC Comics characters the Spectre and Hourman, who later evolved into Mister America and Americommando. He also co-created the vengeful character Spectre, one of the longest enduring characters in comic book history. On and on it goes through the Silver Age, including countless cover art examples, founding of publishing houses - and even drawing nationally syndicated comic strips, such as the ca. 1950's Gilda Gay, this at the very dawn of the male emasculation age, which, of course, exploded into the later Women's Movement. His short-lived High magazine chronicled this hapless window of history via stories of devitalized males, similarly themed comics and pin-up photos of women in rocket bras. Magazine format at 11" x 8 1/4" and 68 pages. Scarce. Tight, unmarked copy with minimal shelf wear. A presentable copy of an important Baily production.

Ouor first issue is filled with stories, pictures, cartoons and articles that will Hi-light your lonely evenings. So go ahead, dig in, and have yourself a 'Hi' old time.".
