Fiction House's Spirit Reprints (1952)

1952, (Right before the feature's discontinuation) Fiction House released several reprints of some recent post-Eisner spirit sections (the sections were reprinted in random order however, so issue 4 contains one section by Eisner and issue 5 is completely Eisner work.) The cover artist could not be identified.
