Description
Air Fighters Comics #3 Mile High pedigree (Hillman Fall, 1942) CGC NM+ 9.6 White pages. This issue featured the origin and first appearance of the Heap, whom Jim Steranko called "one of the most fantastic and original characters ever created in the history of comics." That swamp monster was presumably meant to be a one-issue character, but its popularity soon eclipsed that of Skywolf, in whose feature the Heap debuted. And of course, the Heap would inspire later, similar creatures like DC's Swamp Thing and Marvel's Man-Thing. The book is also notable for having only the second appearances of both Skywolf and Airboy. The cover is by Charles Biro. As of this writing only two copies have been graded above 9.0 by CGC, both certified as Edgar Church/Mile High copies (there were doubles of some issues in the Church collection). Overstreet 2009 NM- 9.2 value = $2,700. CGC census 10/09: 2 in 9.6, none higher.CGC Grader Notes:
Left Bottom Back Cover Lite Crease
Right Bottom Front Cover Small Crease
