Set Description:

A relatively short but interesting Atlas run from 1950-1952. The run begins as a crime series with it’s first issue being #3 featuring a Bonnie and Clyde cover. For a detailed theory on why this run begins at number 3 see this blog: http://timely-atlas-comics.blogspot.com/2011/01/amazing-detective-cases.html?m=1

Starting with issue 11, the series pivots and becomes a horror run for the last four issues.

Although it is a short run, Amazing Detective Cases is not an easy set to complete. There are 8 or less CGC graded copies for each of the first 8 Crime books and there are 25 or less CGC graded copies for each of the last four Horror books.

Facts about this set:

I found seven of the books raw and submitted them to CGC (#s 3,5,6,7,8,9,10)

My raw #6 was the first copy ever graded by CGC

As of 5/31/2024, six of the books are the highest graded (#s 5,6,9,10,11,12)

#12 is the single highest graded copy of any book in the run

It’s been fun tracking down these hard to find and mostly overlooked issues.
