USA – Suspense Comics #3 from 1944 is one of the most infamous Golden Age comics, featuring an unforgettable Alex Schomburg cover. A copy is currently up for auction, with a high bid of $110,000. According to the Heritage Auctions listing, this particular copy “has never been offered for public sale before,” and while higher-grade copies exist, they would cost “the price of a house.” This VG 4.0 grade copy represents an accessible entry point for collectors, featuring “strong front-cover colors and an overall appearance” that makes it particularly appealing.

The cover’s striking imagery is vividly described in a Comic Connect listing for a different copy as “a Nazi/Bondage/Horror/War hybrid” showing “a hooded Nazi holding a sword, ready to plunge it into the heaving breast of a captive woman in peril. Meanwhile, spear in hand, her would-be savior stands poised to strike at the dastardly soldiers gathered around a fire, as one of them makes a futile attempt to protect their ill-gotten prize.”
