TRUMP #2 ~ March 1957 ~ 1.5 Fair/Good
RARE! ~ Nice Reading Copy
Trump Magazine #2 ~ March 1957 ~ 1.5 Fair/Good ~ Trump, Inc. Publishing. My grading is very conservative and most sellers would grade this higher. Bright colors; binding intact; color and b&w interior fine. The only reason for the low grade is that the upper part of the cover, esp the right top, is torn and badly abraded. The abraded area has been blacked over with a marking pen that bled through to the inside cover. Also, some stress at the binding edge. The magazine interior and back cover are perfect and were it not for the damaged front cover, it would have a grade of 8.0 VF. Issue in 2-mil archival poly bag with stiffener. Image shows the actual comic you will get (it is NOT a stock photo).

Issue highlights: Trump was Hugh Hefner's spinoff from Playboy in the humor field that came out shortly after MAD had switched to magazine format. It was a much higher-quality magazine than MAD with many color pages inside. Trump had some of the best writers and artists in the business such as Harvery Kurtzman (editor), Jack Davis, Will Elder, Al Jaffe, Wallace Wood, Roger Price, and many others. Trump had both cartoon features plus satirical and humorous stories, parodies, and shorts. 56 pages. Cover price 50¢.
